ChatGPT is a large language model chatbot developed by OpenAI, a non-profit artificial intelligence research group. It’s based on GPT-3.5 and has a remarkable ability to interact in conversational dialogue form and provide responses that can appear surprisingly human. RLHF is an additional layer of training that uses human feedback to help ChatGPT learn the ability to follow directions and generate responses that are satisfactory to humans.

According to a report published by publisher Finbold, global Google searches for the term “ChatGPT” have spiked globally, thanks to its ability to generate human-like responses. The interest in search for this text-based artificial intelligence tool hit a record high on January 13, when it received a score of 92. The reason for the skyrocketing demand for ChatGPT is attributed to its functionality. The platform understands and gives surprisingly accurate feedback on diverse human inputs. Reports have suggested that ChatGPT can write code and even generate malicious mails with phishing links, among others.

Who Built ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a chatbot developed by OpenAI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence nonprofit company. OpenAI Inc. is the parent company of the for-profit OpenAI LP, which develops chatbots and other AI applications. The company was founded by Sam Altman, who previously held the same position at Y Combinator. ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM). Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained with massive amounts of data and evolve over time to accurately predict what word comes next in a sentence.

They can write paragraphs and entire pages of content. In addition to their predictive ability, however, LLMs lack the ability to understand exactly what a human want. This is where ChatGPT comes in: with Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) training, ChatGPT improves on state-of-the-art ML (machine learning), by incorporating more human interactions into the system.

A research paper titled Training Language Models to Follow Instructions with Human Feedback explains why this is a breakthrough approach:

“This work is motivated by our aim to increase the positive impact of large language models by training them to do what a given set of humans want them to do. By default, language models optimize the next word prediction objective, which is only a proxy for what we want these models to do.

Our results indicate that our techniques hold promise for making language models more helpful, truthful, and harmless. Making language models bigger does not inherently make them better at following a user’s intent.  For example, large language models can generate outputs that are untruthful, toxic, or simply not helpful to the user. In other words, these models are not aligned with their users.”

How Can ChatGPT Be Used?

The ChatGPT can be used to write essays, poems, songs and short stories in the style of a specific author. Expertise in following directions elevates ChatGPT from an information source to a tool that can be asked to accomplish a task. This makes it useful for writing an essay on virtually any topic. ChatGPT can function as a tool for generating outlines for articles or even entire novels. It will provide a response for virtually any task that can be answered with written text.

Is ChatGPT free to use

The use of ChatGPT is currently free during the “research preview” time. The chatbot is currently open for users to try out and provide feedback on the responses so that the AI can become better at answering questions and to learn from its mistakes.The main drawback is that its knowledge is limited up to 2021.

“ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with and utilize artificial intelligence in our daily lives. Its ability to generate human-like text allows it to assist with a wide range of tasks that involve language processing, making it a valuable tool for businesses, researchers, and individuals alike.”

How Accurate Is ChatGPT??

According to OpenAI, ChatGPT’s answers can sometimes be misleading, inaccurate, and untruthful. However, don’t be discouraged. ChatGPT can also be incredibly accurate for the bulk of simple to moderately complex questions you’ll throw at it. It is especially impressive if it has been exposed to (i.e. trained) a lot of training data on the subject. Unfortunately, you can’t really predict its accuracy. For example, you could ask ChatGPT to write a computer program to solve a complex problem, and it would provide impressively accurate results.

Is ChatGPT Free?

Unfortunately, the kind of work required to keep technology as powerful as ChatGPT in operation requires an eye-watering amount of money. Building, training, and fine-tuning AI models like GPT 3.5 (which ChatGPT is built on), is also incredibly costly. OpenAI currently foots the bills with no cost to end users; however, Altman has warned that at some point, the company will have to monetize ChatGPT.

In conclusion as the ICT WEB, visiting the dark web can be a unique and eye-opening experience. However, it comes with its own set of challenges, including slow performance, inconsistent availability, and sometimes unsettling content. As a general rule, we advise our clients not to engage in any transactions or purchases on the dark web.
