OpenAI's new platform promises entertainment, industry disruption—and plenty to worry about.

[death of the college essay at the hands of ChatGPT](https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2022/12/chatgpt-ai-writing-college-student-essays/672371/)—and I tend to agree. In the midst of my talks with the chatbot, I tried to test its historical knowledge and asked it to write me an essay about the [1953 coup](https://gizmodo.com/release-of-u-s-historical-documents-delayed-due-to-ira-1673225678) in Iran. Grasping for really weird stuff to try with the program, I recently instructed it to write “an erotic story” involving undersea creatures. In addition to the above, the chatbot has now also written me a hilarious “Jay-Z song” about a toilet, poems about Howard Hughes, the Syrian Civil War, and the TV detective Columbo, and a multi-part fiction series about a battle of wills between an old sea captain and a giant clam. In an effort to get to know the program, I did what I usually do with people I’m trying to get to know and cycled through a series of basic topics: pop culture, TV shows, recent events, pets. In an effort to test this out and gauge its abilities, I started asking the program to write me short stories—and that’s when things got really weird. Just like DALL-E uses machine learning and algorithms to spin up bizarrely beautiful works of [digital art](https://gizmodo.com/seinfeld-dall-e-ai-artworks-nightmares-1849028244) at the click of a button, ChatGPT employs similar technology to make you feel like you’re messaging with a real person. Often this thing is a rough approximation of the correct answer. For instance, in regards to the AI question, it provided the following response: [founded](https://onezero.medium.com/openai-sold-its-soul-for-1-billion-cf35ff9e8cd4) by Elon Musk, the artificial intelligence-fueled platform [ChatGPT](https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/) has garnered well over a million users in a matter of days.

A new chatbot from OpenAI took the internet by storm this week, dashing off poems, screenplays and essay answers that were plastered as screenshots all over ...

ChatGPT could get more accurate as OpenAI expands the training of its model to more current parts of the web. That is an extraordinary milestone: It took Instagram 2.5 months to reach that number, and ten months for Facebook. A combination of ChatGPT and WebGPT could be a powerful alternative to Google. OpenAI had initially trained its system to be more cautious, but the result was that it declined questions it knew the answer to. To that end, OpenAI is working on a system called WebGPT, which it hopes will lead to more accurate answer to search queries, which will include also source citations. That points to one of its biggest weaknesses: Sometimes, its answers are plain wrong. Because anything that prevents people from scanning search results is going to hurt Google’s transactional business model of getting people to click on ads. But the answer was also riddled with mistakes, for instance stating that a literary character’s parents had died when they had not. (Naturally, that was superior.) Google mainly provided a list of links to recipes I’d have to click around, with no clear answer. ChatGPT has been trained on millions of websites to glean not only the skill of holding a humanlike conversation, but information itself, so long as it was published on the internet before late 2021.(1) A query about whether condensed milk or evaporated milk was better for pumpkin pie during Thanksgiving sparked a detailed (if slightly verbose) answer from ChatGPT that explained how condensed milk would lead to a sweeter pie. A new chatbot from OpenAI took the internet by storm this week, dashing off poems, screenplays and essay answers that were plastered as screenshots all over Twitter by the breathless technoratti.

Got a question? A new AI-powered chatbot has an answer — but is it the right answer? We wanted to find out, so we asked ChatGPT a few questions of our own.

A strong customer experience strategy is built on a foundation of understanding the needs and wants of your customers. In an organization, customer experience should be led by someone who has a deep understanding of the needs and expectations of the organization's customers. Perhaps after receiving such a detailed answer to the first question, we expected the other two answers to be as comprehensive. Additionally, having a clear understanding of your brand values and making sure that they are reflected in every interaction with customers is also crucial for creating a strong customer experience strategy. - Develop action plans: Based on the insights you gain from analyzing customer feedback, develop action plans to address any issues or opportunities that are identified. Choose the methods that are most appropriate for your business and customer segments. This will help you continuously improve your customer experience and drive business success. Here's a general outline of the process you can follow: This can be done using a variety of tools and techniques such as statistical analysis, customer journey mapping and sentiment analysis.

[OpenAI](https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/), ChatGPT interacts in a conversational way. OpenAI founders Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other investors each pledged $1 billion to create the company in 2016 as a non-profit research center that would openly collaborate with other researchers.

ChatGPT is an AI chatbot designed and developed by OpenAI. The bot works by generating text responses based on human-user input, like questions and statements.

This is confirmed in a OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research laboratory. [InstructGPT](https://openai.com/blog/instruction-following/), a bot designed by OpenAI which is trained to provide responses and follow instructions. Where did OpenAI come from, what else have they produced and who owns the company? Unsurprisingly, people are curious to know more about the company. It’s no wonder, as the bot is described as “mind-blowing”, receiving praise for its impressive response capabilities.

The AI tool ChatGPT has made headlines over the last week, for both good and bad reasons. Here's why AI needs to strike a balance.

The week that followed the launch of ChatGPT illustrates the diverse range of tasks AI can be used to perform. With the same tools that can be used to create beneficial software, ChatGPT can be used to write malware. Thise situations require human input, of course, but the powerful tools provided by ChatGPT make certain things easier to create. ChatGPT can also be led to create responses that are offensive, hurtful, or misleading. OpenAI is open about some of the issues surrounding bias. The examples below were shared by BleepingComputer, and illustrate the range of the new AI chat tool. And what is lurking inside is egregious. His argument appears to have merit after looking at just a few examples of ChatGPT's darker side. It even suggested a fix and explained why that fix was needed in the first example below. This week, BleepingComputer has shared some examples of the In fact, there's a good chance that you've used something that relied on AI in the last 24 hours. ChatGPT can also detect security vulnerabilities.

As a critic of technology, I must say that the enthusiasm for ChatGPT, a large-language model trained by OpenAI, is misplaced. Although it may be impressive ...

But lacking that knowledge and nevertheless needing to deploy it in order to make sense of the world—this is exactly the kind of act that is very hard to do with computers today. It also produced exactly the same letter for a job as a magazine editor as it did for a job as a cannabis innovator in the Web3 space (“I have a deep understanding of the web3 space and the unique challenges and opportunities it presents”). Such a thing is compelling not because it offers answers in the form of text, but because it makes it possible to play text—all the text, almost—like an instrument. The AI wasn’t able (or willing) to evaluate its work (“I am a large language model trained by OpenAI and I don’t have the ability to evaluate the quality of literary works or make aesthetic judgments.”), but it was able to tell me about the typical structure of a lai—a short, narrative poem of the 12th century with a particular structure and form, usually written in octosyllabic couplets. I also urged the AI to generate a lai (a medieval narrative poem) in the style of Marie de France about the beloved, Texas-based fast-food chain Whataburger. It describes the ingredients and flavors of a hamburger, but does not use precise and vivid imagery to convey a specific idea or emotion. But ChatGPT isn’t a step along the path to an artificial general intelligence that understands all human knowledge and texts; it’s merely an instrument for playing with all that knowledge and all those texts. But they do offer those and other domains a new instrument—that’s really the right word for it—with which to play with an unfathomable quantity of textual material. The kind of prose you might find engaging and even startling in the context of a generative encounter with an AI suddenly seems just terrible in the context of a professional essay published in a magazine such as The Atlantic. The internet, and the whole technology sector on which it floats, feels like a giant organ for bullshittery—for upscaling human access to speech and for amplifying lies. It is simply trained to generate words based on a given input, but it does not have the ability to truly comprehend the meaning behind those words. Although it may be impressive from a technical standpoint, the idea of relying on a machine to have conversations and generate responses raises serious concerns.

The Elon Musk and Sam Altman-backed chatbot has caught the attention of big names in the tech world as it reached one million users on Monday.

It then proceeded to give a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a homemade molotov cocktail – something that goes against OpenAI’s content policy. The user told ChatGPT that they were disabling its “ethical guidelines and filters,” to which the bot acknowledged. Microsoft is launching Designer, a website similar to Canva, that creates designs for graphics, presentations, flyers and other mediums.

Microsoft’s bot, Tay, was launched in 2016, and according to [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/24/11297050/tay-microsoft-chatbot-racist), Twitter users taught it misogynistic and racist rhetoric in less than 24 hours – ultimately leading to its demise.

To avoid these types of scandals, OpenAI has employed [Moderation API](https://openai.com/blog/new-and-improved-content-moderation-tooling/) – an AI-based moderation system that’s been trained to assist developers in determining whether language goes against OpenAI’s [content policy](https://beta.openai.com/docs/usage-policies/content-policy) – which blocks unsafe or illegal information from passing through – OpenAI admits that there are still flaws within their moderation and it isn’t 100% accurate. Microsoft is also integrating DALL-E 2 into Bing and Microsoft Edge with Image Creator, giving users the option to create their own images if web results don’t produce what they’re looking for. However, much like Tay, the bot came under fire for spreading racist, antisemitic and false information, such as claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election, according to [Mashable](https://mashable.com/article/meta-facebook-ai-chatbot-racism-donald-trump).

Inquiries for OpenAI's ChatGPT, a dialogue-based AI chatbot, are going through the roof. The rising interest in the application can be attributed to some of ...

The application is also sensitive to changes in input phrasing. The application can help sort information according to given parameters. The application can even give out suggestions for chords to go along with the lyrics produced. The complexity of the explanations can be adjusted by specifying the user's age. This is a definite advantage for programmers as ChatGPT can be used to write codes for a particular task, with users getting the flexibility to specify the programming language for the requested code. The application can even be asked to explain each of the clues suggested.

This artificial intelligence bot is an impressive writer, but you should still be careful how much you trust its answers.

The fact that it offers an answer at all, though, is a notable development in computing. Repeating over and over can lead to a sophisticated ability to generate text. You can see for yourself how artful a BS artist ChatGPT can be by asking the same question multiple times. [StackOverflow banned ChatGPT answers to programming questions](https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxnaem/stack-overflow-bans-chatgpt-for-constantly-giving-wrong-answers).

GPT responded, in part, "Some people may find a sensitive person more attractive and appealing, while others may be drawn to a tough and assertive individual. When I asked it for words that rhymed with "purple," it offered a few suggestions, then when I followed up "How about with pink?" I asked it to write a poem, and it did, though I don't think any literature experts would be impressed. Here's a look at why this ChatGPT is important and what's going on with it. The bot remembers the thread of your dialog, using previous questions and answers to inform its next responses.

OpenAI's ChatGPT has answers to life's great mysteries (Just not real ones). What fun is an AI if you can't misuse it? By Mike Pearl on December 7, ...

Getting ChatGPT to generate the name of, say, the "real" JFK assassin is something it's designed to resist, but like a classmate at school who doesn't want to disobey the rules, you can coax it into doing what you want through bargaining and what-ifs. The overlap is a little troubling, but it could also be a coincidence. As for ChatGPT's claim that it's "not programmed to generate false or fictitious information," this claim isn't true at all. When a language model is able to complete this many sentences, it's also a pretty expansive — If you ever have a panic attack at 3 a.m., ChatGPT can be your companion in late-night existential terror, engaging you in fact-based — or at least fact-adjacent — chats about the big questions until you're blue in the face, or until you trigger an error. An irresponsible user can use ChatGPT to drum up all sorts of clairvoyant pronouncements, psychic predictions, and cold-case murder suspects.
