OpenAI has unveiled ChatGPT just a week ago, and it already has accumulated more than 1 million users around the world with its advanced features: from instantly composing complex essays and computer code to writing marketing proposals and interior decorating schemes. He can even create poems and jokes , an ability previously thought to be relegated to humans.
Capabilities that are incredible, and raise doubts about whether Google will retain its monopoly on online search for a long time to come.
“A year or two since the collapse”
“Google may be just a year or two away from total disruption,” the Gmail developer tweeted 6 days ago Paul buchheit. “AI will eliminate the search engine results page, which is currently the main source of revenue for Google.”
In summary, Buchheit believes that theartificial intelligence of ChatGPT will do to Google (for web search) what Google did for the Yellow Pages. And I more or less agree with him.
How does ChatGPT work?
For the uninitiated, ChatGPT works by applying an algorithm called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). It relies on human responses and conversations (millions of conversations) to create a new model presented in an intuitive chat interface with some degree of memory.
In other words, a "humanized" search engine, with the brain of a supercomputer. At this point we could give him the voice of Scarlett Johansson and see what Jouaquim Phoenix thinks about it (if you understand what I mean).
Any examples? ChatGPT writes haiku. He elaborates reflections in poetic or ironic form. He composes raps in the style of well-known artists. He writes essays, short essays, short stories and content that simulate, or represent, abstract thinking skills.
It can change everything
ChatGPT's literally superhuman capabilities could redefine economics as we know it. Ending up replacing many operational figures in the most disparate roles, from creativity to journalism through website construction and design.
This presents quite a few risks. One of OpenAI's first investors is Elon Musk, who greatly fears the emergence of an "omniscient" artificial intelligence. And in ChatGPT the new owner of Twitter sees a "dangerous force".
How to use ChatGPT?
To use ChatGPT, you can simply create a profile on OpenAI.com and type a question. As proof, The Post asked the bot “Which city has the best pizza?”
His response: “It's hard to say which city has the best pizza, as personal preferences play a big role in determining what makes a pizza the best. Some cities famous for their pizza are New York, Chicago, and Naples, Italy. However, the best pizza for you may come from a small local pizzeria in your city.
Give it time, and Google will have to run for cover.
