What is Artificial Intelligence?

Before talking in detail about ChatGPT and all its functioning, it is necessary to know some basic concepts of technology that are directly related to ChatGPT.

The first one is artificial intelligence (AI), a resource that refers to systems or machines that mimic human intelligence to perform tasks.

The interesting thing about AI is that these machines and software have the ability to self-improve using the database that was collected during use.

Artificial intelligence can manifest in various ways, the most widespread and known being through chatbots that are able to understand customer problems and provide more efficient responses.

These intelligent assistants are able to analyze critical information from large datasets and offer solutions.

In addition, artificial intelligence is also related to superpowerful thinking ability and data analysis in any format.

It is worth noting that artificial intelligence is not intended to replace humans in all activities, but rather to contribute to their skills.

Applications and software that use artificial intelligence are capable of performing complex tasks that previously required user information.

What is a chatbot?

As you previously saw, the chatbot is a product of artificial intelligence and is a software capable of holding a conversation with a human user in natural language.

This type of interaction can occur through messaging applications, websites, and other digital platforms.

Usually, companies use these conversation systems to communicate with customers in order to create a conversational interface to deliver a product, service, or experience.

Chatbots are already quite present in our daily lives, who hasn’t had contact with a service on WhatsApp with automatic messages, right?

These intelligent contacts offer quick and practical assistance to users, who can communicate with companies and solve their problems without waiting time.

The use of chatbots has been growing within different types of companies thanks to their ability to offer immediate and quality support to customers.

In this way, customer service becomes scalable, contributing to a better customer experience.

In addition, chatbots have the advantage of reducing the need for maintaining a large team for this type of service.

What is ChatGPT?

Combining what you’ve learned so far about the concept of artificial intelligence and chatbot, we can finally talk about ChatGPT!

To begin with, ChatGPT is an acronym for “Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer”.

In free translation, it means Pre-trained Chat Generator Transformer.

ChatGPT did not come out of nowhere, in fact, it is a variant of the already consolidated language model in the market, GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer).

GPT-3 is an autoregressive programming language that uses deep learning to produce text similar to human language.

Basically, it is trained with a large dataset of conversation exchanges, being able to produce coherent and appropriate text within the context of a conversation.

Using these principles, ChatGPT was developed by the artificial intelligence (AI) company called OpenAI Inc. based in San Francisco.

Initially, this project started as a non-profit, with funding from big names such as Elon Musk and representatives from Google, LinkedIn, and Paypal.

Today, ChatGPT has Microsoft as its great partner and investor, which developed the Azure AI platform in partnership with OpenAI.

ChatGPT’s Differentiators

Without a doubt, ChatGPT is a tool that came to revolutionize, being currently one of the most advanced tools in terms of search engines.

Through ChatGPT, OpenAI has brought an artificial intelligence (AI) capable of answering complex questions through conversation.

This tool was trained to learn what humans mean when they ask their questions, answering in a completely human way.

This type of interaction will completely change the way humans interact with computers and the way information is presented.

Below, we have two strengths of ChatGPT that differentiate it from other resources available in the technology market:

Large Language Model Chatbot (LLM)

Firstly, it is important to emphasize that ChatGPT is a Large Language Model (LLM) chatbot based on its predecessor.

These large language models are able to predict the next word to be presented among a series of possible words.

This is possible because this technology is previously trained with a large amount of data.

According to Stanford University, GPT-3 was trained on 570 GB of texts and has 175 billion parameters.

With this, GPT-3 can even perform tasks that were not specifically trained to execute.

Therefore, this technology is able to perform translations of sentences that were not previously trained using only artificial intelligence.

Technologies such as ChatGPT that use LLMs are capable of automatically writing paragraphs or entire pages of content, raising the level of user search results.

Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF)

To make ChatGPT even more interesting, this feature was developed using Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF).

This type of training allows ChatGPT to have the ability to follow complex instructions that humans input and what they expect when asking their questions.

This way, it is possible to generate satisfactory answers within human expectations and perspectives.

ChatGPT’s training using RLHF is done with a massive amount of data from codes and information from the internet.

This information includes news summaries, datasets of comparisons of different human responses, and sources of discussions.

With this, ChatGPT is able to understand and dialogue in the same “style” as a human, in addition to predicting what humans judge to be the most appropriate answer.

Does your company need Digital Transformation?

Why has ChatGPT been attracting so much attention?

ChatGPT has been attracting a lot of attention due to its technological potential!

The feature goes far beyond anything currently existing, representing a very ambitious proposal.

When we talk about artificial intelligence, many emotions are aroused in people, most of the time, astonishment and even distrust with the potential that this technology possesses.

When we think about ChatGPT, being a new technology, there is the factor of doubt, after all, it is still impossible to know how societies will be impacted in the future with this solution.

Several companies are already testing ChatGPT in their applications and, so far, it is possible to see that this feature is capable of performing creative activities in a surprising way.

We are not only talking about the art of creating paragraphs and entire answers, such as DALL-E.

In fact, ChatGPT is capable of devising sales strategies, composing music in the style of an artist, producing academic theses and even reaching the level of solving problems that seemed unsolvable to the human mind.

An example of this was seen on a developer page, where the AI was asked how to fix a programming code that was not working.

In a context like this, ChatGPT requests more information from the user to understand the purpose and functioning in order to identify if the command line was wrong.

The hope is that, with the expansion of use, ChatGPT’s artificial intelligence will be improved, reaching an unparalleled level of production capacity.

If this happens in the future, we can say that ChatGPT would function like an oracle, where everyone could ask questions about any topic.

Are there limitations to ChatGPT?

As we know, every type of technology has its limitations and ChatGPT is no different.

Up to the current point at which the feature stands, the limitations that we can list for ChatGPT are:

Does not provide toxic or harmful information

In fact, to what extent can this be seen as a limitation or an advantage?

After all, we live in a moment on the internet where negative behaviors are repressed and banned from the virtual environment.

ChatGPT was programmed not to respond to questions that may be toxic or harmful.

OpenAI is aware of this type of behavior and has even encouraged users to send feedback to help improve the system.

Quality of responses

Even being designed to understand what the user means, in ChatGPT, the better the guidance given by you, the better the answers.

So, not every input will offer a complete answer.

ChatGPT is trained to provide answers that seem correct in a human-like style, so it is possible that it can fool humans into thinking that the content is correct, even if it is not.

An example of this situation is the issue on the site Stack Overflow, a question-and-answer platform for professionals and enthusiasts in the field of computer programming.

In this community, many people began using answers from ChatGPT and, despite the error rate, the content appeared to be correct, thus making the work of the moderation team more difficult.

As a result, the use of answers from ChatGPT was banned within Stack Overflow.

So, even if it is well written, it is necessary to be attentive to the types of information that reach you.

Financial investment

So far, ChatGPT is a platform that can be used for free, but at the rate at which this feature is going, it is likely to become paid.

ChatGPT is currently open for users to experiment, generating demand and even feeding this tool so that it can correct its mistakes and become even better.

However, we cannot close our eyes and think that there will be no monetization in the future.

What is the future of ChatGPT?

Speaking of the future, what can we expect from ChatGPT in the coming years?

There are many questions involved, and some believe that this type of modeling could dominate many areas while others think it might flop.

The truth is that this question cannot be answered at the moment because everything is still very new; ChatGPT is still in the growth and testing phase.

What we can say is that the technology seems promising for solving human problems, avoiding purely technical work that tends to consume a lot of time for technology professionals.

In the current technical-scientific world scenario, we can think that ChatGPT will surpass the practical usefulness of answering human questions, opening doors for even more advanced models in the future.

As we know, making language models larger does not necessarily make them better systems for following the user’s intention.

In this reality, ChatGPT stands out as quite unique because it is trained to provide useful, truthful, and non-harmful answers.

For the future, this type of technology will seek to understand the true intention of the user, even discarding parts that do not make sense, making the search even more intelligent.
