ChatGPT

Why in News?

• OpenAI has recently introduced a new chatbot called ChatGPT, which is a ‘conversational’ AI and will answer queries just like a human would.

Highlights

• The ChatGPT can answer “follow-up questions”, and can also “admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.”
• It Is based on the company’s GPT 3.5 series of language learning models (LLM).
• GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 and this is a kind of computer language model that relies on deep learning techniques to produce human-like text based on inputs.
• The model is trained to predict what will come next, and that’s why one can technically have a ‘conversation’ with ChatGPT.
• The chatbot was also trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).
• It can be used in real-world applications such as digital marketing, online content creation, answering customer service queries or as some users have found, even to help debug code.
• The bot can respond to a large range of questions while imitating human speaking styles.
• It is being seen as a replacement for the basic emails, party planning lists, CVs, and even college essays and homework.
• It can also be used to write code, as examples have shown.
• The chatbot displayed clear racial and sexist biases, which remains a problem with almost all AI models.
• The chatbot gives answers which are grammatically correct and read well– though some have pointed out that these lack context and substance, which is largely true.
• ChatGPT occasionally produces inaccurate information and that its knowledge is restricted to global events that occurred before 2021.
