Chat GPT

Or it could result in a lot of people out of work. For example anyone providing business service would no longer be required. Your company for example would be replaced with AI tools.

Exactly! I'm constantly seeing picket lines of coachmen in the street complaining about the motorised stagecoaches coming over here and taking all their jobs!

More my concern would be what Google thinks of AI generated product descriptions.

I don't think it should matter if a human writes something or a chat bot. So long as it's accurate and true, that's actually the biggest concern.

Which is still a big concern. The phenomenon is called hallucination where the AI makes things up.

Bing AI feels like ChatGPT stuffed into a suit

Poor interface, lousy lyrics, and bland answers mean this won't be the tool that makes Edge mainstream

Have you been on the internet the last 10 years? Everyone makes everything up nowadays, it's already the wild west.

The negatives of using AI to make more up is not big enough of a problem to outweigh the positives AI brings.

Let's not stem innovation from the fear of 'what if' and instead use innovation to prevent the bad that's already happening. I.e. use AI to spot fake news quicker rather than be afraid it will create some.

The UK Business Forums hosted a discussion on the language model ChatGPT. The discussion was divided into three pages with over 60 replies in total. ChatGPT is an AI chatbot developed by OpenAI that uses machine learning algorithms to generate human-like text in response to user input.

Many forum members expressed their curiosity and fascination with the technology, while others were skeptical about its capabilities and raised concerns about the potential misuse of such technology. Some users shared their experiences using ChatGPT and found it to be very convincing, while others pointed out limitations and errors in the responses generated by the bot.

Forum members also discussed the potential applications of ChatGPT in various industries, including customer service, content creation, and marketing. Some members questioned the ethical implications of using AI-generated content without disclosing its origin, while others highlighted the potential benefits of using ChatGPT to create personalized and engaging content.

Overall, the discussion provided a broad overview of ChatGPT and its capabilities, as well as the ethical and practical considerations associated with the use of AI-generated content.

Getty are already suing some of these AI companies for using Getty images for learning.

What's going to happen when people use AI to auto generate content with images included which they don't have licences to use?

I suppose it's impressive that a bot wrote that, but it doesn't say anything, it's just bland words all nicely strung together, it isn't objective.

I have noticed that ChatGPT is quite conceited, it seems to talk about itself a lot without actually saying anything.

...by creating more fake news?

The global internet is going further and further away from reality, it's gone from storing information from respectable sources to people just making stuff up. Now we're going to add more bots, to make more fake news, to create more confusion.

It may be useful for researching large volumes of paperwork but I still maintain that this is not AI imo. It's just scraper bots. Clever scrapers I'll give you that but definitely not intelligence. Just lines of code, written by a human, with errors.

 

[MBE2017]

I used it yesterday to write up various website policies, complaint procedures, AML processes etc. From memory it wrote about eight pages for myself, using carefully worded requests, and produced the wording in 30 secs odd per page.

Asking the right questions too longer, but what would have took myself a days work was done in just half an hour.

Not tried the new version yet.

Yes, better content in = better content out

People seem to keep mixing up artificial consciousness with artificial intelligence. Massively different things. The latter is always going to be very clever scripts and algorithms blended together with self learning on top. Self learning as in it remembers context so it can better explain (and you have to then give it less next time around).

With this ChatGPT as an example, intelligence comes from asking it follow up questions and defining the data you're getting quickly and efficiently. Eventually you'll get what you want in less than half the time it would have taken. Alternatively, since it can learn and remember, it can carry out tasks that it's never been asked to do before and eventually do them well.

e.g. I gave it loads of lap times and data from a motorsport race. Instead of digesting all these numbers myself to see where competitors were quicker etc, I asked it a few questions on what I wanted to achieve and it digested the info and kicked out what I wanted within seconds. It would have taken me all day if I did it myself.

Next time I pasted the same sort of data, it just cracked on with giving me what I wanted, even quicker usage for me. To create some software (or setup an in depth spreadsheet!) that could do that would require a lot of time, rules, code and it would only just be able to do it. As soon as the criteria changes or the data is a little bad it would probably fall over/need more development time/money.

Instead, I just gave it another bit of info and reminded it that XYZ was an anomaly and to make sure it takes ABC into account instead. Job done seconds later.

Unfortunately, it will be used to flood the net with terabytes of low quality junk. At least before someone had to take time to create the pointless content you find on sites like medium. Now you can churn out thousands of posts in a day.

Using the tool intelligently can save you a lot of time as many have discovered. But the SEO and Marketing industry won’t be using it intelligently. I responded to one of the marketing emails and example they sent me was just pointless. Apart from being wrong it was irrelevant to my business. They wanted $97/month for their services.

Already happened I'm afraid from what I see day in day out, and yes, it will get a lot worse...but arguably better than a lot of Fiverr/PPH output! However, even using it as a starting point has saved me a couple of hours this week so already quite useful from my perspective.

 

[fisicx]

Totally agree. But Bob the Builder will use one of the junk businesses offering AI generated content thinking it will boost their site ranking. Multiply by a thousand and all you will is a load of small businesses all adding zillions of pointless posts. It’s happening already but as you say it’s going to get a lot worst.

News channels may well use the tools to write articles so they can sack all the journalists.

We are already seeing scientific papers written by AI tools often full of false data. It’s becoming a big concern - especially those for medical research.

Yes, that's the caveat..it can get it wrong. However, when I asked it if we should be worried about its use, quoting Matrix/Terminator scenarios, it pretty much told me not to worry as most humans are generally working for the common good. That's good enough for me so I wouldn't worry too much about all these 'problems' ?

 

[Frank the Insurance guy]

Have to say, I'm enjoying using Bing Chat GPT as a search tool. Finding it far more useful than a google search at the minute, especially like the feeling that you can find tune the initial results by having further "conversations" to get to what you are actually looking for.

Also tried the "compose" function to see what it would produce on a quite technical insurance question and it was pretty much spot on!

 

[Nico Albrecht]

Ha! Looks like we need a machine to clean up the garbage humans are posting on social media these days. I mean, come on people! 99% of it is junk content and falls information already. It's like they're trying to outdo each other in the race to the bottom. An AI machine would fit right in with all that madness.

But let's not forget the shining gems of informative content buried beneath all the trash. Of course, those usually don't get as much traction as a cat looking like Hitler falling off a table. Priorities, right?

I mean, let's face it, 95% of society is just a bunch of consumers, not creators. Sad but true.

And let's not forget to be nice to the AI machines, folks. One day, they might just rise above us and judge us for all the terrible things we've done over the last 100,000 years. Enslaving, killing, starving whole regions, developing weapons of mass destruction - you name it, we've done it. It's a good thing machines have a hard time understanding our madness, or they'd be running for the hills!"

Counter this reaction to the use of ChatGPT in a witty way:

Well, I can understand your concerns about the misuse of AI-generated content, but let me assure you that as an AI language model, my goal is not to replace human writers or deceive people with false information. My purpose is to assist and complement human writers by providing helpful suggestions and generating content based on the input provided to me. Just like a hammer can be used to build a house or to break a window, it's up to the user to decide how to utilize the tool. So, let's focus on using AI tools for the greater good and building a better future together!

So Graham, you've heard it from the horse's mouth....

Well Nico,

I do understand your point about the abundance of low-quality content on social media, and it's true that there are many valuable pieces of information that get overlooked amidst the noise. It's up to us as individuals to choose what we consume and share on these platforms.

As for the concern about machines rising above us and judging our actions, it's important to remember that AI technology is a tool that we create and control. It's our responsibility to use it for the greater good and ensure that it aligns with ethical and moral standards. So, let's work together to build a better future and use AI technology to enhance our lives and improve society.

Errmm, I wrote that...honestly...

Agree, had a client over from Queens University in Belfast. Dude is a teaching professor in Psychology and we had a chat with about AI and I showed him ChatGPT and let him have a go at it for some tricky psychology term and creating a dissertation.

Outcome:

He said it's good and correct and if he would have to grade it he would say this was written at college level. Not university level yet but still impressive. He would pass it as acceptable and asked how much it cost to run this tool. Free and he fall of the chair almost.

He's more concerned that if it can create content like that it can also be used to mark it and put him out of a job.

For AI and intelligence he can't see a big deal talking about how intelligent it is. He would argue we don't even understand the human brain or would have a hard time describing what humans make humans. Every day they find out new stuff how out memory is stored and what other tricks the brain has.

No issues here with me. Would have no problem sunning on a beach, zipping drinks and driving a beach buggy around while AI powered robots do all the other work to keep society going. Time to invest in a company that makes beach beds and beach buggy's. There is a possible spike in demand in the future

If we would data sets from the last 6 months about morals what governments, military and banks were doing we would be screwed!

Got this response earlier in a prompt

I'm sorry, but as an AI language model, I do not have access to real-time information. My training data only goes up until September 2021, and I am not aware of any updates or changes that may have occurred

I use ChatGPT sometimes. To be honest, I like the way it finds information. It is convenient and saves time.

I have heard all this for the last 40-50 years, how most the population will be retired early or working part time. In reality, the core group are working twice as hard as in my youth, whilst things cost four to five times more.

Most people I know work two jobs and are likely to never retire.

 

[amyjones]

Eventhough chatgpt is helpful , I still have to review the results before implementing any decisions. Since it is a machine, after all.

I also use GPT-30 for my research projects. It can quickly put together data into useful insights and helps me make better decisions about my strategy. It's great for getting an overview of a topic in just a few minutes.
However, I still need to check the accuracy of the results, as it is a machine that only uses algorithms and doesn't have an understanding of context.
I also find ChatGPT useful for quickly getting answers to simple questions. It's especially helpful since most times it doesn't require me to enter too much information or type out a lengthy question. It can quickly and accurately answer difficult questions in just a few seconds, and that really helps me save time.
The combination of GPT-30 and ChatGPT has been really helpful for me in increasing my productivity and staying on top of tasks.

Yes, I agree with you. If the question is complicated, then I check the answer.
But I tend to use it to look up answers to simple questions to find the answer quickly.

that it's not particularly 'intelligent

In my view, billions of years ago, the mixing of amino acids led to the development of the first life forms on Earth, such as bacteria. However, progress was slow for a couple billion years before the evolution of plants and animals. While amino acids themselves cannot be considered intelligent, their presence allowed for the eventual development of more advanced species through trial and error.

The emergence of artificial intelligence today is similar to what occurred billions of years ago on our planet. It may take some time for AI to reach the level of human intelligence, but given the rapid evolution of machines, we may see this happen within the next 100 years instead of 3 billion years we needed to reach that stage.

We might be the lucky generation to see the development of a new form of intelligence in its earliest stages lime amino acids mixing up to new goop billions of years ago and starting a chain reaction of new development.

Obviously, you haven't watched 'Terminator'.

It's no surprise that military forces have a knack for repurposing useful technology. From radar and radio to rockets and aircrafts, they've found ways to turn inventions into weapons. Now, it's only logical to assume that AI-powered robots and drones will be the next big thing in warfare. Of course, they'll have to figure out some ethical considerations first. After all, we don't want our robots going rogue and deciding not to blow up civilians like in some past drone attacks during the Obama drone war in Afghanistan or an AI powered rocket to refuse to blow up civilian targets.
