Deep Dive: ChatGPT

ChatGPT became instantly viral upon becoming available for public use. Many are already saying this tool will completely transform how people create, work, and learn.

This is everything you need to know about ChatGPT from OpenAI!

Summary

ChatGPT is an extraordinarily powerful A.I. tool that has recently taken social media by storm with the launch of its open, free-to-use research preview period. The interface operates like a chatbot that you may be used to seeing on a shopping website, but it is able to interact with users in a much more lifelike and conversational way that feels like a 1-on-1 chat with another human. The tool’s ability to provide lengthy, thoughtful answers to questions has stunned users.

Under The Hood

ChatGPT was created by OpenAI (a company co-founded by Elon Musk), the same company that created DALL·E 2, the viral tool that uses written descriptions to create realistic images and art. ChatGPT is a large language model that was trained with a massive quantity of online information from which its responses today are based. It is a “sibling model” to InstructGPT, which is trained to receive prompted instruction and produce a response.

The OpenAI team trained the ChatGPT model using a process they call “Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). Human AI trainers effectively interacted with the tool and provided feedback to help fine-tune results. They also made use of a reward model during the training process that involved comparison of data between two or more model responses. Below is an outline of the iterative training process that occurred in three steps:

One of the priorities in creating ChatGPT was upgrading safety from previous tools that OpenAI developed. The team has seen substantial reductions in harmful outputs; the image below shows ChatGPT’s output vs. InstructGPT, an earlier model.

Uses

According to OpenAI, ChatGPT can “answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.”

Users have already been blown away by the outputs that the tool was able to generate. Some have walked away after comparing ChatGPT outputs to Google search results with the impression that Google search is toast, others have written essays, produced code, created apps, and developed health plans!

Verdict

Without a doubt this is one of the most impressive software tools I’ve ever seen. The implications are world-changing! Writers are having existential crises, coders are realizing that the A.I. takeover is real, and college essays are going extinct before our eyes. It will be incredibly interesting to see how this technology continues to evolve and what jobs are replaced by A.I. in the coming years.

I’m excited to figure out how this tool can further my productivity and enable me to heighten my capacity for projects. You all better get really comfortable with the idea of the future because from what I can tell, we’re already living in it.
