ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-driven program that responds to user prompts, has dominated social networks in recent days. Because viral posts show him writing Shakespeare poetry, delving into philosophical reflections, and spotting bugs in computer code.
Launched to the general public for testing late last month, ChatGPT sparked an internet storm that attracted more than a million users in its first week, rekindling interest in efforts to replicate human insight.
Created by artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, ChatGPT is a computer program that chats with human users, in other words, a chatbot. The program uses an algorithm that selects words based on lessons learned from scanning billions of pieces of text over the internet.
Here’s what you need to know about ChatGPT, how people use it, and what critics have to say about it.
What is ChatGPT?
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT is a chatbot that uses artificial intelligence to talk to human users on a wide variety of topics.
Using a machine learning algorithm, this chatbot scans text on the internet and develops a statistical model that allows it to string words together in response to a specific request.
When you ask ChatGPT what it is, it describes itself: “I’m an OpenAI-trained artificial intelligence language model called Assistant. I was designed to provide general-purpose assistance to users by answering questions, providing information, and chatting. I have no personal feelings or experiences, and I do not have a physical body. I exist as a program that runs entirely on a computer. My primary function is to assist users like you by generating human-like text based on the input I receive.”
This is what the Chat GPT web interface looks like.What do people want from ChatGPT?
People have asked ChatGPT to perform a series of tasks, such as collecting highly specific information, fixing broken computer code, and even asking them to write a Bible verse on how to get a peanut butter sandwich out of a VCR.
Other users asked ChatGPT to compose rap lyrics in the style of Snoop Dogg, create scripts for hypothetical scenes from the TV series “The Office”, and write college-level essays.
Some users praised ChatGPT as a potential alternative search engine for instantly generating detailed information on a variety of topics.
In short, those who used ChatGPT asked almost everything. These were serious and demanding questions, and there were also questions that made fun of artificial intelligence.
Discussions about ChatGPT
ChatGPT has received some backlash in some of its responses, which some see as bias. ChatGPT’s reluctance to respond to certain requests for hateful or provocative content has raised fears about potential censorship.
Amid ChatGPT’s sudden popularity, leading venture capitalist Marc Andreesen said: “The level of censorship pressure for AI and the resulting response will determine the next century of civilization. Search and social media were the opening conflicts. This is the biggest.”
Meanwhile, some users have also found ways to trick the chatbot into giving racist or misogynistic responses, despite OpenAI’s efforts to block such content. For example, when requested by a journalist at the Intercept, ChatGPT provided computer code that justified spying on mosques if they were linked to Islamic extremist groups.
