Why ChatGPT and Bing Chat are so good at making things up

#artificialintelligence

Over the past few months, AI chatbots like ChatGPT have captured the world's attention due to their ability to converse in a human-like way on just about any subject. But they come with a serious drawback: They can present convincing false information easily, making them unreliable sources of factual information and potential sources of defamation. Why do AI chatbots make things up, and will we ever be able to fully trust their output? We asked several experts and dug into how these AI models work to find the answers. AI chatbots such as OpenAI's ChatGPT rely on a type of AI called a « large language model » (LLM) to generate their responses.


Build Your Own TALK-GPT Chatbot with Python & OpenAI

#artificialintelligence

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of building your very own chatbot using Python and OpenAI's TALK-GPT model. With the power of TALK-GPT, you can create a chatbot that is capable of carrying out complex conversations with users. First, we will provide an overview of TALK-GPT and its capabilities. Then, we will guide you through the steps of setting up your development environment and installing the necessary Python packages. After that, we will show you how to create a basic chatbot using TALK-GPT.


Microsoft and OpenAI get ahead in the LLM competition - TechTalks

#artificialintelligence

The past few weeks have seen major AI announcements by Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, and other organizations. Tech companies are scrambling to solidify their position in the fast-expanding market for large language models (LLM) and generative AI. And as big tech continues to pour more money into the field, competition is gradually becoming polarized between Microsoft and Google. So far, Microsoft has proven to be craftier and more capable in getting LLMs generative machine learning models to work in its products. But the race is not over, and we might yet see Google (or some other company) take the lead.


Digital Bridge: AI reality check -- Global privacy battle -- Mission 'Critical' – POLITICO

#artificialintelligence

I'm Mark Scott, POLITICO's chief technology correspondent, and after a week of vacation, I'm honestly struggling to get myself up and running this week. With that in mind, here's the pep song that has been keeping me going as I've written this week's newsletter. Warning: it'll get stuck in your mind. We'll tell you where to look for it. HERE'S MY PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE WEEK: let's cool the hype around OpenAI, Google's Bard and the sudden tsunami of so-called generative artificial intelligence use cases that have just popped up (looking at you, Pope in a puffer coat.)

Pausing AI development would 'simply benefit China,' warns former Google CEO Eric Schmidt

#artificialintelligence

Eric Schmidt says the six-month moratorium on AI development supported by Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and other tech leaders would "simply benefit China" and called instead for tighter regulation. The former Google CEO told the Australian Financial Review he was worried about the rapid development of AI and that "concerns could be understated." "I think ... things could be worse than people are saying," he said, noting that as large language models get bigger they have "emergent behaviour we don't understand." The use of generative AI has exploded in recent months with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Bard, and Microsoft's AI-powered Bing, as well as image-generating platforms such as DALL-E and Midjourney. People have been using generative AI in both their personal and professional lives to write essays, think up recipes, summarize emails, publish articles, and craft résumés and cover letters.


What do AI chatbots know about us, and who are they sharing it with?

Engadget

AI Chatbots are relatively old by tech standards, but the newest crop -- led by OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard -- are vastly more capable than their ancestors, not always for positive reasons. The recent explosion in AI development has already created concerns around misinformation, disinformation, plagiarism and machine-generated malware. What problems might generative AI pose for the privacy of the average internet user? In order to replicate human-like interactions, AI chatbots are trained on mass amounts of data, a significant portion of which is derived from repositories like Common Crawl. As the name suggests, Common Crawl has amassed years and petabytes worth of data simply from crawling and scraping the open web. "These models are training on large data sets of publicly available data on the internet," Megha Srivastava, PhD student at Stanford's computer science department and former AI resident with Microsoft Research, said.


AI chatbots aren't search engines. They're crypto bros

PCWorld

Over the last few months, AI chatbots have exploded in popularity off the surging success of OpenAI's revolutionary ChatGPT--which, amazingly, only burst onto the scene around December. But when Microsoft seized the opportunity to hitch its wagon to OpenAI's rising star for a steep $10 billion dollars, it chose to do so by introducing a GPT-4-powered chatbot under the guise of Bing, its swell-but-also-ran search engine, in a bid to upend Google's search dominance. Google quickly followed suit with its own homegrown Bard AI. Both are touted as experiments. And these "AI chatbots" are truly wondrous advancements--I've spent many nights with my kids joyously creating fantastic stuff-of-your-dreams artwork with Bing Chat's Dall-E integration and prompting sick raps about wizards who think lizards are the source of all magic, and seeing them come to life in mere moments with these fantastic tools.


An AI dedicated to drawing hands could help all the other AIs improve

New Scientist

Image-generating artificial intelligence models like DALL-E and Midjourney often have difficulty creating human hands, with many otherwise photorealistic pictures given away by hands with the wrong number of fingers or in impossible poses – so now researchers have created an AI dedicated to just drawing hands.


Don't tell anything to a chatbot you want to keep private

#artificialintelligence

As the tech sector races to develop and deploy a crop of powerful new AI chatbots, their widespread adoption has ignited a new set of data privacy concerns among some companies, regulators and industry watchers. Some companies, including JPMorgan Chase (JPM), have clamped down on employees' use of ChatGPT, the viral AI chatbot that first kicked off Big Tech's AI arms race, due to compliance concerns related to employees' use of third-party software. It only added to mounting privacy worries when OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, disclosed it had to take the tool offline temporarily on March 20 to fix a bug that allowed some users to see the subject lines from other users' chat history. The same bug, now fixed, also made it possible "for some users to see another active user's first and last name, email address, payment address, the last four digits (only) of a credit card number, and credit card expiration date," OpenAI said in a blog post. And just last week, regulators in Italy issued a temporary ban on ChatGPT in the country, citing privacy concerns after OpenAI disclosed the breach.
