Everyone and their dog are posting about ChatGPT, the newest AI language model by OpenAI, so I decided to check some origami-related prompts. While I am impressed by the system overall, and for many subjects it does an excellent job, paperfolding doesn't seem to be one of them at this time. As usual, watching a system fail can be more interesting than watching it succeed. Let's start off with some encyclopedic knowledge and the prompt What do you know about origami?. The response seems typical of ChatGPT in that it is mostly right and written quite convincingly.

Artificial intelligence systems powered by large language models today are transforming how people work and create, from generating lines of code for software developers to sketches for graphic designers. Kevin Scott, Microsoft's chief technology officer, expects these AI systems to continue to grow in sophistication and scale--from helping address global challenges such as climate change and childhood education to revolutionizing fields from healthcare and law to materials science and science fiction. Scott recently shared his thoughts with us on the impact of AI for knowledge workers and what's next in AI. In your mind, what were some of the most important advancements in AI this year? When we were heading into 2022, I think just about everybody in AI was anticipating really impressive things to take place over the next twelve or so months.

Yacine Jernite's fears about bias in artificial intelligence were vividly affirmed in 2017, when a Facebook translation error led Israeli police to arrest a Palestinian construction worker. The man had posted a picture of himself leaning against a bulldozer with the caption, in Arabic, "good morning." Facebook mistakenly translated it, in Hebrew, as "attack them." The error was quickly discovered and the man released, according to a report in Haaretz, but the incident cemented personal concerns about AI for Jernite, who joined Facebook's AI division soon after. As the child of Moroccan parents in post-9/11 America, Jernite said he has "spent hours upon hours in immigration secondary interviews -- in a way that I could not at the time trace to the technology that was being applied."

Suppose you are a professor of pedagogy, and you assign an essay on learning styles. The construct of "learning styles" is problematic because it fails to account for the processes through which learning styles are shaped. Some students might develop a particular learning style because they have had particular experiences. Others might develop a particular learning style by trying to accommodate to a learning environment that was not well suited to their learning needs. Ultimately, we need to understand the interactions among learning styles and environmental and personal factors, and how these shape how we learn and the kinds of learning we experience. And how would your grade change if you knew a human student hadn't written it at all?

OpenAI's newly unveiled ChatGPT bot is making waves when it comes to all the amazing things it can do--from writing music to coding to generating vulnerability exploits, and what not. As the erudite machinery turns into a viral sensation, humans have started to discover some of the AI's biases, like the desire to wipe out humanity. Yesterday, BleepingComputer ran a piece listing 10 coolest things you can do with ChatGPT. And, that doesn't even begin to cover all use cases like having the AI compose music for you [1, 2]. Within six days of its launch, ChatGPT surpassed a million users to the extent its servers couldn't keep up.

There has been a surge of interest in what generative AI can do. But what does this technology really mean for the legal sector? To find out we must navigate a path between'Death of the Lawyer 2.0' hysteria and those who dismiss the whole thing as a gimmick. Artificial Lawyer looks at what this tech can really do. Generative AI (gen AI), working via Large Language Models such as OpenAI's GPT-3, can do some amazing things.

AI tech, for so long a promising vision of the future but an underwhelming experience in the present, is starting to work. And the world is going to get weird as a result. ChatGPT is the latest AI tool to go viral, sparking worry and wonder in equal measure. The system … is the latest evolution of the GPT family of text-generating AIs. Two years ago, the team's previous AI, GPT-3, was able to generate an opinion piece for the Guardian, and ChatGPT has significant further capabilities.

It is powered by a large language model, an AI system trained to predict the next word in a sentence by ingesting massive amounts of text from the internet and finding patterns through trial and error. ChatGPT was then refined using feedback from humans to hold a conversation -- as well as a robot in 2022 could reasonably do so, that is.

The launch of ChatGPT and GPT 3.5 (Generative Progressive Transformer-3.5) -- which many claim will herald a new era in dialogue-based conversational AI -- has ended the year on a high for conversational AI. People are using ChatGPT for tasks ranging from correcting code errors to rewriting the Bohemian Rhapsody and the number of ChatGPT users surpassed the million mark in less than a week last month. While 2022 was about newer and more advanced tools and models, commercial use cases, regulation, and standardisation of AI are expected to define 2023 for this domain. Here's what to expect from the AI industry in 2023. Generative AI, which is artificial intelligence that can create text, images, videos etc. without supervision, set the tone for this year and the trend will spill on to 2023 as well.

What's happening: Users are telling ChatGPT to rewrite literary classics in new styles or to produce performance reviews of their colleagues, and the results can be scarily good. Why it matters: ChatGPT displays AI's power and fun. It could also make life difficult for everyone -- as teachers and bosses try to figure out who did the work and all of society struggles even harder to discern truth from fiction. Driving the news: Last week's public release of ChatGPT came from OpenAI, which had previously set benchmarks in this field with GPT3 and its predecessors. Yes, but: The high quality of ChatGPT's responses adds to the fun, but also highlights the risks associated with AI. Between the lines: ChatGPT, like other text generators, also creates problems when it gets things right.
