If you've browsed LinkedIn during the last few weeks, you'll almost definitely have heard some opinions on ChatGPT. Developed by OpenAI, which also created generative AI tools like DALL-E, ChatGPT uses an extensive language model based on billions of data points from across the internet to reply to questions and instructions in a way that mimics a human response. Those interacting with ChatGPT have used it to explain scientific concepts, write poetry, and produce academic essays. As with any technology that offers new and innovative capabilities though, there is also serious potential for exploitation and data privacy risks. ChatGPT has already been accused of spreading misinformation by replying to factual questions in misleading or inaccurate ways, but its potential use by cyber criminals and bad actors is also a huge cause for concern.

The emergence of sophisticated new artificial intelligence (AI) programs capable of performing a growing number of human tasks has many asking: will AI replace me someday? ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. It is capable of answering a wide range of questions, but, like a human, ChatGPT is not perfect. For example, when asked to write the introduction for this story, it delivered an error message instead. It was able to provide insight into the relationship between AI and human work, though.

Back in the 1990s, the search engine category was a hot space. Yahoo, Netscape, AOL, Ask Jeeves, AltaVista, Google search, MSN and others were vying to capture the dominant position. With time, they all fizzled out. Post 2000 was the era of Google Search, the undisputed winner of the space until quite recently. The tide is turning and the crown of Google Search is under threat.

ChatGPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI that uses state-of-the-art machine-learning techniques to generate human-like text. It is one of the largest and most sophisticated language models in existence, with 1.5 billion parameters, and has been trained on a diverse range of internet texts to understand and replicate natural language. ChatGPT is designed to understand and generate text in natural language, including grammar, syntax, and semantics. It can be used for a wide range of applications, including generating conversational responses, summarizing long texts, answering questions, and even creating original content. ChatGPT can be fine-tuned for specific tasks by training it on domain-specific data, making it a versatile tool for many different use cases.

In a rather unsurprising turn of events, former director of AI at Tesla, Andrej Karpathy, has rejoined OpenAI. In his tweet announcing the transition, he said that the developments in AI are inspiring and having benefitted from them, he finds it exciting to "jump back and build". Having been one of the founding members of OpenAI, Andrej left the company in 2017 to join Tesla and support Elon Musk in his endeavours. Musk was also one of the co-founders of OpenAI initially but had later left the Board member position in 2018 "to avoid future conflicts of interests due to Tesla developing AI", OpenAI said. At Tesla, Karpathy undertook multiple AI endeavours and, perhaps most importantly, was his work with Elon Musk on creating "Optimus", the humanoid robot whose prototype was unveiled on AI Day, 30 October, 2022.

In Minnesota, a start-up company recently created a 19-lesson, fully online, three-hour multimedia course in just 10 hours using ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence tool launched in November 2022. ChatGPT found images and relevant video materials and developed a quiz to assess learning. Subsequent courses created by this same team are being created in less time -- just one hour to create a three-hour learning module. Elsewhere, ChatGPT is used to create multimedia webpages that can be quickly inserted into websites, and to create code in python (and other computer languages) that can be incorporated into apps or web spaces. ChatGPT is one of many similar AI services that use natural language to respond to user questions or requirements.

OpenAI's ChatGPT took the world by storm, quickly amassing over 100 million active users in January alone. This is the fastest any application has ever grown to this size, with the prior two record keepers being TikTok at 9 months and Instagram at 2.5 years. The top question on everyone's mind is how disruptive large language models (LLMs) will be for search. Microsoft rocked the world this week with their Bing announcement, incorporating OpenAI's technology into search. This new Bing will make Google come out and dance, and I want people to know that we made them dance.

Will AI eventually surpass human intelligence and became the dominant force on earth? The AI Singularity is fast emerging now as an integration of Foundation Model AI, its LLMs, and a multitude of downstream narrow AI applications: Real AI The AI Singularity AI World's Knowledge Data/Statistics Ontology Foundational Model (DL) LLMs (Bert, GPT-3, Chat GPT, BLOOM, etc.) Narrow AIs ... Why so quickly. From one side, humanity has aggregated enormous collective world's knowledge/information/data. From other side, there is an individual knowledge of the individual man. They are hardly harmonized, aligned or scaled, as being different as an atom and the whole universe.

Multiple new programs and services are now advertising that AI can be used to write screenplays and automate the filmmaking process. For instance, the AI startup Deepmind recently announced the launch of a tool called Dramatron, what it calls a "co-writing" tool. According to its website, Dramatron is supposed to help screenwriters by using "hierarchical story generation for consistency across the generated text. Starting from a log line, Dramatron interactively generates character descriptions, plot points, location descriptions and dialogue..." This offends me on so many different levels that I can't really even begin to unpack them. I mean, why even write the script at all?
