5 Natural Language Processing Companies Using GPT-3

Back in the 1960s, Joseph Weizenbaum of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory created one of the first chatbots, which he named ELIZA. Weizenbaum modeled its conversational style after Carl Rogers, a psychotherapist who was known for parroting patients' responses back at them. His hypothesis was that while chatbots could emulate human conversation superficially, they could not fully capture the nuances of a genuine discussion between humans. To Weizenbaum's complete surprise, ELIZA did end up fooling many people into believing they were having a therapeutic breakthrough with a real live therapist. While modern customer service bots aren't likely to help customers dig deep into their psychological issues, the technology behind computers processing human language is getting more advanced day by day.
