As chatbot sophistication grows, AI debate intensifies

#artificialintelligence

California start-up OpenAI has released a chatbot capable of answering a variety of questions, but its impressive performance has reopened the debate on the risks linked to artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The conversations with ChatGPT, posted on Twitter by fascinated users, show a kind of omniscient machine, capable of explaining scientific concepts and writing scenes for a play, university dissertations or even functional lines of computer code. "Its answer to the question'what to do if someone has a heart attack' was incredibly clear and relevant," Claude de Loupy, head of Syllabs, a French company specialized in automatic text generation, told AFP. "When you start asking very specific questions, ChatGPT's response can be off the mark," but its overall performance remains "really impressive," with a "high linguistic level," he said. OpenAI, cofounded in 2015 in San Francisco by billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk, who left the business in 2018, received $1 billion from Microsoft in 2019. The start-up is best known for its automated creation software: GPT-3 for text generation and DALL- E for image generation.


This New Artificial Intelligence Can Help You Lie

#artificialintelligence

The artificial intelligence research company, OpenAI, recently released ChatGPT, an enormously capable AI system that can communicate with people using natural language. ChatGPT can answer complicated and nuanced questions, explain the complicated themes in Moby Dick, write beautiful poems, and teach you how to tell convincing lies. OpenAI was formed in 2015 with the mission of developing a friendly artificial intelligence that will dramatically benefit humanity while also helping humanity avoid the existential risks that might arise from such artificial general intelligence. Their recent ChatGPT system engages in conversational dialogue with human users. "Many species of ducks migrate south in the winter in order to find more favorable conditions for feeding and breeding. In the northern parts of the world, the winter months can bring colder temperatures, shorter days, and less available food, which can make it difficult for ducks to survive."


Building A Virtual Machine inside ChatGPT

#artificialintelligence

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have heard of this new ChatGPT assistant made by OpenAI. You might be aware of its capabilities for solving IQ tests, tackling leetcode problems or to helping people write LateX. It is an amazing resource for people to retrieve all kinds of information and solve tedious tasks, like copy-writing! Today, Frederic Besse told me that he managed to do something different. Did you know, that you can run a whole virtual machine inside of ChatGPT?


OpenAI invites everyone to test new AI-powered chatbot

#artificialintelligence

On Wednesday, OpenAI announced ChatGPT, a dialogue-based AI chat interface for its GPT-3 family of large language models. It's currently free to use with an OpenAI account during a testing phase. Unlike the GPT-3 model found in OpenAI's Playground and API, ChatGPT provides a user-friendly conversational interface and is designed to strongly limit potentially harmful output. "The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests," writes OpenAI on its announcement blog page. So far, people have been putting ChatGPT through its paces, finding a wide variety of potential uses while also exploring its vulnerabilities. It can write poetry, correct coding mistakes with detailed examples, generate AI art prompts, write new code, expound on the philosophical classification of a hot dog as a sandwich, and explain the worst-case time complexity of the bubble sort algorithmโ€ฆ in the style of a "fast-talkin' wise guy from a 1940's gangster movie."


Beyond Tabula Rasa: Reincarnating Reinforcement Learning - Mila

#artificialintelligence

Reinforcement learning (RL) is an area of machine learning that focuses on training intelligent agents using related experiences so they can learn to solve decision making tasks, such as playing video games, flying stratospheric balloons, and designing hardware chips. Due to the generality of RL, the prevalent trend in RL research is to develop agents that can efficiently learn tabula rasa, that is, from scratch without using previously learned knowledge about the problem. However, in practice, tabula rasa RL systems are typically the exception rather than the norm for solving large-scale RL problems. Large-scale RL systems, such as OpenAI Five, which achieves human-level performance on Dota 2, undergo multiple design changes (e.g., algorithmic or architectural changes) during their developmental cycle. This modification process can last months and necessitates incorporating such changes without re-training from scratch, which would be prohibitively expensive.

Creatives, AI is coming for your job

#artificialintelligence

Many people see artificial intelligence as an efficient but unimaginative tool that performs routine tasks. Analysing datasets or checking financial reports is one thing. But AI is fast becoming skilled at bringing together ideas, information, and artistic influences to generate creative work. Language-learning models can mimic human imagination and write articles like an experienced journalist or lawyer. AI might also replace conventional search engines by providing one-line responses summarising years' worth of scientific research, The Atlantic reports. Meanwhile, non-profit OpenAI unveiled a new chatbot, called ChatGPT.


AI bot ChatGPT stuns academics with essay-writing skills and usability

The Guardian

Professors, programmers and journalists could all be out of a job in just a few years, after the latest chatbot from the Elon Musk-founded OpenAI foundation stunned onlookers with its writing ability, proficiency at complex tasks, and ease of use. The system, called ChatGPT, is the latest evolution of the GPT family of text-generating AIs. Two years ago, the team's previous AI, GPT3, was able to generate an opinion piece for the Guardian, and ChatGPT has significant further capabilities. In the days since it was released, academics have generated responses to exam queries that they say would result in full marks if submitted by an undergraduate, and programmers have used the tool to solve coding challenges in obscure programming languages in a matter of seconds โ€“ before writing limericks explaining the functionality. Dan Gillmor, a journalism professor at Arizona State University, asked the AI to handle one of the assignments he gives his students: writing a letter to a relative giving advice regarding online security and privacy.


'Google is done': World's most powerful AI chatbot ChatGPT offers human-like alternative to search engines

#artificialintelligence

The latest iteration of a "mind-blowing" artificial intelligence chatbot has led to speculation that it could revolutionise entire industries and even potentially replace popular tools like Google's search engine. ChatGPT, created by leading AI research lab OpenAI, serves as a general purpose language model capable of understanding and generating human-like responses to a wide range of queries. Unlike traditional search engines, which rely on keyword matching to provide results, ChatGPT uses a combination of advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence to understand the intent behind a user's query. This means users can search for information using natural language, rather than having to use specific keywords or phrases, potentially making it more intuitive as a tool for finding information. "The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests," OpenAI explained in a blog post.
