ChatGPT: Bot that promises an AI revolution

OpenAI, the start-up best known for Dall-E, the AL-based text-to-image generator, introduced a new chatbot called ChatGPT. It is being seen as a pivotal moment in what artificial intelligence means, and the potential it holds.

ChatGPT is “conversational” AI, and it will answer questions just like a human would at least that’s the promise and premise.

You could ask ChatGPT for anything: tips to set up any kind of celebration, an article, and daily writing - from an email to college-style essays.

What is ChatGPT?

OpenAL says ChatGPT, which is based on the company’s GPT 3.5 series of language learning models (LLM), can answer “follow-up questions”, “admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests”. GPT stands for Generative pretrained Transformer 3, a computer language model that relies on deep learning techniques to produce human-like text based on inputs.

Why the big buzz?

The reason ChatGPT has generated so much discussion lies in the answers it gives, Screenshots on Twitter show the chatbot can be used to write four-page essays, solve math equations, and write and spot errors in code.

But the responses are not without flaws, OpenAI says: the chatbot can sometimes give “plausible-sounding but incorrect or non-sensical answers” and overuse certain phrases due to “biases in the training data”.

Replace human writing?

ChatGPT gives answers that are grammatically correct and read well, even though some have pointed out they lack context and substance, and are sometimes not entirely true. ChatGPT can write fiction, but not at a human level as of now.
