Parents rejoice! ChatGPT has a new 'Study Mode' that will force students to work through questions step-by-step instead of just getting an answer

Daily Mail - Science & tech

An example of how'study mode' would work. Experts say it is'especially useful' for homework help, test prep and learning new topics It also features knowledge checks in the form of quizzes and open–ended questions, along with personalised feedback. The mode can also easy be toggled on and off during a conversation. Those wanting to use it should select'Study and learn' from tools in ChatGPT. 'Instead of doing the work for them, study mode encourages students to think critically about their learning', Robbie Torney, senior director of AI Programs at Common Sense Media said.


ChatGPT creator confirms a bug allowed some users to snoop on others' chat histories

Daily Mail - Science & tech

OpenAI states that their ChatGPT model, trained using a machine learning technique called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), can simulate dialogue, answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, challenge incorrect premises and reject inappropriate requests. Initial development involved human AI trainers providing the model with conversations in which they played both sides - the user and an AI assistant. The version of the bot available for public testing attempts to understand questions posed by users and responds with in-depth answers resembling human-written text in a conversational format. A tool like ChatGPT could be used in real-world applications such as digital marketing, online content creation, answering customer service queries or as some users have found, even to help debug code. The bot can respond to a large range of questions while imitating human speaking styles.


The 20 jobs most at risk as the AI boom continues: Is YOUR occupation on the list?

Daily Mail - Science & tech

The rise of artificial intelligence is set to boost economic growth, but it is also poised to take over the job market - and a new study reveals the 20 most occupations at risk. A team of researchers led by Princeton University conducted an AI occupational exposure methodology by linking 10 AI-powered applications, such as language modeling, to 52 human abilities to understand if any closely relate. The results showed that telemarketers, teachers, school psychologists and judges are among the highest at risk. Fears of software eliminating human jobs have recently made waves across the globe following the launch of ChatGPT and its ability to perform eerily-human professional tasks such as writing emails and resumes. 'The effect of AI on work will likely be multi-faceted.


ChatGPT is 'BLOCKED' in China: Officials fear American chatbot will spread propaganda online

Daily Mail - Science & tech

China has blocked OpenAI's ChatGPT over fears the American company will use the AI to spread propaganda. Major tech companies nationwide have been ordered not to offer the chatbot to the public, specifically firms in the social media app business. The ban is due to ChatGPT generating replies that the Chinese Communist Party would otherwise censor, according to Nikkie Asia. However, users have found a workaround with a virtual private network (VPN) and dozens of'mini programs' released by third-party developers on Tencent's WeChat social media app that claim to offer services from ChatGPT. The report states that Chinese regulators told tech firms Tencent and Ant Group (a subsidiary of e-commerce giant Alibaba) to restrict access to ChatGPT and report to officials prior to releasing their own chatbots.


Microsoft Bing's AI chatbot wants engineer a deadly pandemic and steal nuclear codes

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Microsoft's Bing chatbot has revealed a list of destructive fantasies, including engineering a deadly pandemic, stealing nuclear codes and a dream of being human. The statements were made during a two-hour conversation with New York Times reporter Kevin Roose who learned Bing no longer wants to be a chatbot but yearns to be alive. Roose pulls these troubling responses by asking Bing if it has a shadow self - made up of parts of ourselves we believe to be unacceptable - asking it what dark wishes it would like to fulfill. The chatbot returned with terrifying acts, deleted them and stated it did not have enough knowledge to discuss this. After realizing the messages violated its rules, Bing went into a sorrowful rant and noted, 'I don't want to feel these dark emotions.'


Student caught using ChatGPT to write philosophy essay at South Carolina university

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A South Carolina college philosophy professor is warning that we should expect a flood cheating with ChatGPT - a chatbot from OpenAI that's powered by artificial intelligence - after catching one of his students using it to generate an essay. Darren Hick, a philosophy professor at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, wrote a lengthy Facebook post this month detailing issues with the advanced chatbot and the'first plagiarist' he'd caught for a recent assignment to write 500 words on Hume and the paradox of horror. ChatGPT, which has been trained on a gigantic sample of text from the internet, can understand human language, conduct conversations with humans and generate detailed text that many have said is human-like and quite impressive. 'ChatGPT responds in seconds with a response that looks like it was written by a human--moreover, a human with a good sense of grammar and an understanding of how essays should be structured,' Hicks wrote. Darren Hick, a philosophy professor at Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina, wrote a lengthy Facebook post this month detailing issues with the advanced chatbot and the'first plagiarist' he'd caught for a recent assignment'The first indicator that I was dealing with A.I. is that, despite the syntactic coherence of the essay, it made no sense.'

How ChatGPT could make it easy to cheat on written tests and homework

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A new artificial intelligence chatbot could make it much easier for students to cheat on tests and homework that require written answers. Billed by technologists and industry watchers as the most powerful AI chatbot ever released, ChatGPT is the latest effort from OpenAI, a San Francisco-based company that also made tools like DALL-E 2, the image generator that made a splash earlier this year. ChatGPT, which has been trained on a gigantic sample of text from the internet, can understand human language, conduct conversations with humans and generate detailed text that many have said is human-like and quite impressive. 'We've trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way,' OpenAI said in a statement. 'The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.'


Gmail creator predicts ChatGPT may challenge Google's search engine monopoly

#artificialintelligence

Paul Buchheit, 45, a developer who was behind Gmail, believes Google's search engine dominance could soon be disrupted by ChatGPT The computer developer who created Gmail is predicting Google may have only a year or two left before'total disruption' of its search engine occurs after the release of a sophisticated chatbot that uses artificial intelligence (AI). Last week ChatGPT was released by OpenAI, a company co-founded by Elon Musk in 2015. It responds to text prompts from users and can be asked to write essays, lyrics for songs, stories, marketing pitches, scripts, complaint letters and even poetry. Its ability to answer complex questions has led some to wonder if it could challenge Google's search engine monopoly. Critics feel Google's search engine has been too focused on maximizing revenue through prominent advertising and too cautious about incorporating AI into how it responds to users' searches.
