As we indicated in the previous post on the Befree blog, Artificial Intelligence will be one of the technological trends of 2023. Its evolution and development over the last few months have consolidated its position. Moreover, more and more and better AI-based tools are emerging.
One of them is ChatGPT. Developed by OpenAI, its good performance and the consistency of its answers have attracted the attention of both locals and foreigners. In this blog post we will explore its origin, operation and objectives. What is ChatGPT?
Only three years old: what is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a language model created by OpenAI designed to imitate human language in a natural way and converse with people through a chat. This model is part of the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) family of language models that was trained on a large amount of text from the internet to learn to predict the next word in a sentence or the next paragraph in a given text.
The AI is trained by inputting text, asking questions and adding information. Over time, and with the help of corrections, this system becomes “hardened” to automatically perform the task for which it was created. This is the method for training any AI, including ChatGPT. It can perform language-related tasks, from translation to text generation, thanks to its more than 175 million parameters and extensive training on large amounts of text.
The origin of ChatGPT dates back to the creation of GPT-2 in 2019, which was one of the first OpenAI language models capable of autonomously generating human text. Since then, OpenAI has continued to improve and develop its language models, including ChatGPT, which was released in 2020.
How to use ChatGPT?
To use it, it is first necessary to access the OpenAI platform and create a free account. Once the account has been created, the user can log in to ChatGPT and start chatting with it immediately. The user can type his message in the text box and click on the “Send” button to get a reply. It will reply by default in English.
This curious AI works as follows: when given a text input, the model uses its prior knowledge and predictive ability to generate a coherent and natural response. As the user continues to converse with the AI, the model learns about the context and topic of the conversation and can provide increasingly accurate and relevant responses. In addition, we can refer to previous messages, as ChatGPT will remember everything.
It should be noted that, as ChatGPT is a machine learning-based language model, it may make mistakes or provide inconsistent answers. However, as the user continues to converse, the model will improve and provide increasingly accurate and relevant answers.
How this artificial intelligence can help us
In addition to providing a fun and entertaining chat experience, ChatGPT can also be used in a variety of practical applications. For example, some companies have used it to create chatbots to serve their customers via instant messaging or to create virtual assistants that can help users perform simple tasks and get answers to frequently asked questions.
Another way ChatGPT can be used is in the creation of automated text content. For example, some content creators have generated article ideas that can then be edited and refined by humans. This can be especially useful in the digital world, with a high demand for quality, up-to-date content.
