ChatGPT Is the World's Best Chatbot - by Alberto Romero

OpenAI has released ChatGPT, a new dialogue language model (LM) based on the GPT-3.5 family series (trained on text and code) and similar to InstructGPT (aligned with reinforcement learning through human feedback). The company set up an online demo and people are losing their minds over it. In a nutshell, ChatGPT is a chatbot that can "answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests." This nicely encapsulates the reason why ChatGPT is so special: "admit", "challenge", and "reject" are unusual verbs to describe the behavior of an LM. However, it isn't an exaggeration in ChatGPT's case (countless examples that I'll share soon assert it).
