ChatGPT: The new buzz word that has taken the internet world by storm, but the reason why is because this will change the world of AI forever.
Now, the AI that I am referring to is not robots or that Skynet is going to take over the world in Terminator. I am talking about the intelligence behind data and information where Google is already dominating this field, but ChatGPT will make searching and information gathering a lot easier and faster.
This technology only made its way publicly this year, and already Microsoft is in the process of buying the technology and integrating the GPT language model behind ChatGPT into products such as Bing, Edge and Teams search engine. Google has announced that they are working on their own ChatGPT competitor called Google Bard. And Opera has also been developing one for their browsers.
Let the ChatGPT wars begin!
Of course, with all the new technology, there are already some red flags and some AI experts even think we need “digital health warnings” on these AI-powered chatbots. And what will happen with plagiarism and the workers in copywriting. Basically, there will always be issues with new advancements, and of course there will be rules in place, but before this takes over, I think you better dive into what it is and embrace it, because it is coming no matter if you like it or not.
So, let’s chat about ChatGPT, yes pun intended.
What exactly is Chat GPT?
According to AI experts – they have explained it as artificial intelligence trained to assist with a variety of tasks. More specifically, though, it is a language model AI designed to produce human-like text and is designed to converse with people, hence the “Chat” in ChatGPT. It will pull copy or content from various sources into one whole document or chat function without having to search multiple avenues to find the same source. It would mean that you “present” the model with a query or questions by entering it into a text box, and the AI will process this request with all the information that is available.
GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer and this is now the third iteration of this language model. The “GPT” in ChatGPT comes from GPT-3.5, the learning model that the ChatGPT application utilizes.
Days or hours spent researching a topic will be a thing of the past, and efficiency is key here. Although I come from the generation of working hard to get what you need, no matter the time, this is going to halve the time that we all spend finding information.
What will happen to all the copywriters and reports where people spend time doing this for money? Nothing really. AI experts predict that it means that we will need more content and copy on the internet when this launches because there will be too much duplicate information.
What can you ask ChatGPT?
Short answer, everything.
Some people have been asking questions that are beyond human comprehension and asking them to do a whole paper, and guess what, it will write it.
Some lawyers have said that they ask it to write contracts, and yep, out it pops.
Look, it still needs human intervention, because this is only information gathering, and still needs correcting. But like I said, it cuts out half the time for research and then you edit as you see fit.
Here are some more examples, of what people are using it for:
· Text generation for news articles, fiction and poetry
· Summarizing longer documents or articles
· Answering questions as a potential substitute for Google search
· Generating story ideas or headlines
· Generate product descriptions, blog posts and other content types
· Act as a tutor for homework questions or problems
Apps and how to use it?
There was a call out publicly for user testing, but this has already been filled up with enough users, but you are welcome to sign up anyway and see if you can get a spot: chat.openai.com/auth/login
There are also a number of apps where you can use it as a chat function. Just note, that MOST of them cost money, it is very rare to get it for free.
