A new AI chatbot might do your homework for you. But it's still not an ... (WFSU)

ChatGPT gives users their very own virtual assistant. It could transform academia, experts say — for better and worse.

"ChatGPT is just a few days old, I like to say," said Etzioni, who remains at the AI institute as a board member and advisor. The alternative, which he describes as "security by obscurity," won't help improve fallible AI, he said. Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, said earlier this month it would be a mistake to rely on the tool for anything "important" in its current iteration. "What if we hide the problems? You can ask it to find an error in your code and correct it and tell you why you got it wrong," he said. "This is where it becomes kind of dangerous," Kubacka said. He sees this as a moment for peer review. For all its flaws, though, he sees ChatGPT's public debut as a positive. OpenAI has trained the tool using a large dataset of real human conversations. When she looked closer, the alleged source material was also bogus, she said. "You can paste in entire academic papers and ask it to summarize it. A new artificial intelligence tool called ChatGPT has thrilled the Internet with its superhuman abilities to solve math problems, churn out college essays and write research papers.

No, the new AI chatbot ChatGPT won't take your job (Sciencenorway)

OPINION: People have been quick to dismiss the chatbot ChatGPT as technology that is likely to replace many writing jobs. Such a pessimistic perspective ...

For example, a journalist could prompt it to write three different headlines for a given news article, after which the output is used to finetune the ideas that a journalist has. An optimistic perspective would be much more useful for its development, than a dystopian outlook where the current version of ChatGPT spews out polished rubbish that replaces our jobs. This is a clear example of polished rubbish: a response to a complicated prompt that seems good and is presented confidently, but actually makes little sense. When used correctly, however, it can be a partner in problem-solving or creative writing tasks. This is not straightforward, and might become part of courses on ‘interacting with AI and language models’; who knows. Much like a student at an exam who has not fully engaged with the content of a course, it is able to write a long story that seems sensible, but actually makes little sense upon closer inspection. We run to Google, ChatGPT relies on a database that is more skewed towards Wikipedia-based information than scientific databases. The forum on which programming problems are shared with a community of programmers has been flooded by ChatGPT-generated responses. When I prompted it to write a few academic paragraphs about a decision-making bias that a student of mine was studying – the asymmetric dominance effect in the food domain – it fabricated references to academic literature that I did not know, in actual journals. For example, the internet has not stopped us from communicating with each other, but has merely changed the means of doing so. Ranging from two-day itineraries for your favourite city to recipes based on a list of ingredients and solving exam questions: its responses cover a lot of ground, which offers a lot of possibilities for applications – and fun. Many have come out to say that ChatGPT will replace various jobs: programmers, journalists, creative writers, to name a few.

ChatGPT: Why is this incredible AI chatbot so popular? (INDIAai)

This AI chatbot can write computer programs, articles, and poems. Since OpenAI unveiled the text-based artificial intelligence tool last month, ...

The training procedure can, for instance, select a random paragraph of text, remove a few words, prompt the AI to fill in the blanks, and evaluate how closely it approximated the original. GPT-3 and its update, GPT 3.5, on which ChatGPT is built, belong to a kind of AI technology known as big language models. For a long time, chatbots have piqued the curiosity of both businesses seeking to serve better their customers' needs and artificial intelligence (AI) academics attempting to crack the Turing Test. To demonstrate and test the capabilities of a massive and powerful AI system, OpenAI published ChatGPT in November. The catch is that ChatGPT is quite ignorant. You can put it to the test by asking it to explain things like Newton's laws of motion or any other encyclopedia-style inquiries.

ChatGPT can spit out a convincing news article with false information in a few seconds. OpenAI, which made the chatbot, had previously raised alarms.

I asked ChatGPT to write a headline for this piece. One of the main issues: ChatGPT is so good, we can't tell when something was generated by AI, or whether it was written by a real person. – ChatGPT "However, as I delved deeper into using ChatGPT, I began to realise that it wasn't quite as straightforward as I had initially thought. "As a journalist at Insider, I was always on the lookout for new ways to streamline my workflow and produce engaging content. "That's a big concern," Conitzer said. It was like having a virtual writing assistant at my fingertips." "I started by feeding ChatGPT a few prompts and was amazed by how quickly it was able to generate coherent and well-written responses. ChatGPT spit out 200 words in less than 10 seconds, and the result was alarmingly convincing. Aside from some predictable writing (which I can be guilty of, anyway), the story was nearly pitch-perfect, except for one glaring issue: It contained fake quotes from Jeep-maker Stellantis' CEO Carlos Tavares. Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI but resigned from the company in 2018, called ChatGPT "scary good." The chatbot was released to the public in late November, and within 5 days, it gained over 1 million users.

While ChatGPT is a good tool to take care of routine things and creative jobs, it will be a few more years before it can replace experts in respective fields. But it can be directed, and we can continually figure out how to make the new world much better. ChatGPT is not connected to the internet and can occasionally produce incorrect answers. Can you provide more information about what the code is supposed to do and what isn't working as expected? For example, when someone asked it about fixing a code, which was not working as expected, ChatGPT replied, "It's difficult to say what's wrong with the code without more context. Even if it is connected to the internet, the important point is its ability to verify whether the information it uses is accurate or false.

Here are the steps that a pilot may take to land a light airplane in a crosswind: The pilot may need to use additional rudder inputs to maintain alignment with the runway centerline as the aircraft touches down. When I asked separately about side slips, I got a good explanation of what side slips are and how to do them, including a mention of using them for crosswind landings. I do my best to provide accurate and useful information to the best of my ability based on my training and knowledge.“ This allows the aircraft to maintain a stable approach while still compensating for the wind. That means that the accuracy of the answer you seek may be related to the precision of the question; how it’s worded.

Some users have found that asking ChatGPT to exploit smart contracts actually returns viable vulnerabilities. Experiments are beginning to reveal that AI ...

The cited reason was that the program generates a high rate of junk answers, but delivers them in such a polished and confident manner that users are likely to believe they are legitimate. Malware developers are in a constant race against automated detection systems to tweak their tools or develop new ones as they are recognized, and it is possible AI generation and code revision could give them the upper hand. Of course, the number one item of concern for the average person is the “Terminator scenario” of an intelligent AI reaching the conclusion that humanity does not deserve to continue existing. A good example from the cybersecurity side of the house is the ability to take a snippet of code (be that raw hex, assembly, or a high-level language like python or C++) and ask the bot ‘What does this code do?’ I could spend hours taking each section of that code, searching what each keyword or flag does, and then eventually figure out what it’s doing, or I can ask ChatGPT to give me a high-level summary and then examine broken-down sections of the explanation to rapidly learn what it all does.

When you get an email and it entails links hinting toward a chatbot, it’s best to confirm the source address before pressing on anything. One of the greatest ways to stay safe is to restrict chatbots solely to web pages that you’ve navigated yourself toward.

And never use the same password on multiple platforms. “We did not write a single line of code and instead let the AI do all the work.

Criminals only need your name, email address and telephone number to rip you off. “ChatGPT is a powerful tool for creating chatbots that can engage in natural language conversations with users.

All companies need to be vigilant about monitoring output from the chatbot to ensure it is free of bias and offensive content. Rather, it uses the information it learned from training data to generate responses. ChatGPT is not a search engine, therefore it does not have the ability to search the internet for information. ChatGPT enables users to ask questions or tell a story, and the bot will respond with relevant, natural-sounding answers and topics. Although ChatGPT is a powerful AI-based chatbot system, it does have some limitations. The beta version of ChatGPT has already attracted over a million users.
