Generative artificial intelligence is a new form of AI that can generate its own output. Generative AI has the potential to change our lives in ways we've not yet comprehended. So what exactly is generative AI and how will it shape the future? Check out this awesome development by OpenAI on generative AI technology today and where it's going!

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT (chat generative pre-trained transformer) is a model which interacts in a conversational way.

“The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.” — OpenAI.

It can be used in chatbots which benefit a lot of industries like Banking, Edtech, fintech, and Health. Some people on social media say that Google could lose its value as a search engine because of the early success of the chatbot. The response given by ChatGPT is similar to a response that you receive from a human.

Advantages of ChatGPT

  • ChatGPT is a pre-trained language model that can be fine-tuned for specific tasks. Depending on the use case developers can easily retrain the model using an API. More examples are here.
{"prompt": "<prompt text>", "completion": "<ideal generated text>"}
{"prompt": "<prompt text>", "completion": "<ideal generated text>"}
{"prompt": "<prompt text>", "completion": "<ideal generated text>"}
  • ChatGPT gives us a whole lot of text in response to our input. Whereas, for the same question a google search would give a list of websites.

  • ChatGPT is trained using a huge corpus of conversational data and has a strong ability to generate conversational content without any external context.
  • ChatGPT can be used with any existing conversation or chatbot engine or it can be used as a standalone API.

Takeaway

ChatGPT provides exceptional value in generating conversational content with the least amount of human supervision. Although there are a lot of limitations regular updates to the model will improve this. It's also good to know that they have taken measures to mitigate improper use of the model in this release “reductions in harmful and untruthful outputs achieved by the use of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).” — OpenAI.
