GPT-3, a language generation model developed by OpenAI, is capable of generating human-like text on a variety of topics, and ChatGPT is the way we may interact with this model. While it represents a significant advance in the field of artificial intelligence, it is not without its limitations and challenges.
Groucho Marx made famous the quote in the title of this article: "These are my principles!. If you don't like them, I have others."
Although it seems one can trace the origins of this quote back before its own birth. This came to my mind when interacting with ChatGPT myself, and finding that I could regenerate the answer if I didn't like it, or introduce my own text and opinion to a reflection I had previously asked to the AI, merging it without complaint or reconsideration: "Look, this new text you are adding doesn't fit with the philosophical meaning of the rest of the text". No, ChatGPT is not raising that flag yet... unless you ask for it explicitly, in which case, yes, it has other principles.
While ChatGPT capabilities are jaw-dropping, and it is still under discussion the impact it can make in the world, it is also healthy to know its current issues and limitations. It is not an oracle, unless you want to believe in divine visions. It can, to some extent, represent a mirror of humanity, since it knows as much as the humanity knows, if all the knowledge in Internet was in one brain, which is remarkable, asthonishing, unthinkable..., but it doesn't have an opinion, a conscience. It doesn't provide advice (legal or any other). In the end, it is up to the reader to make a decision upon the information that is being offered by the AI, which is a lot, very fast accessed and cross referenced.
One issue that has been identified with GPT-3 is the potential for it to produce biased or offensive output as a result of being trained on a dataset that includes real-world biases. This is not a problem exclusive to GPT-3, and researchers are working on ways to reduce biases in natural language processing models.
There are several ways in which the bias issue could potentially be addressed:
Another challenge with GPT-3 is its size and complexity, which requires a significant amount of computational resources to run.
This can make it difficult to deploy the model in resource-constrained environments,?such as on mobile devices or in developing countries, although OpenAI is working on ways to make the model more efficient and easier to deploy.
There are also concerns about the potential risks of using GPT-3 in the public sphere. Some of these risks include:

OpenAI the same as the European Union and countries around the world are aware of these risks and they are taking steps to address them through responsible use guidelines and other measures. Some ways that these risks are being addressed include:
The training-serving skew of GPT-3 refers to the difference between how the model was trained and how it is used in practice. It can be difficult to completely eliminate skew between training and serving, and this is especially true for large language models like ChatGPT.
However, this skew can be minimized by carefully designing the training process and testing the model on a wide range of tasks.
GPT-3 has demonstrated good performance on various tasks, but it is not clear how it will behave with subpopulations such as people with disabilities or speakers of languages other than English.
It is important for OpenAI and other researchers to carefully evaluate the model's performance on these groups and address any issues that may arise.
Finally, OpenAI is working on a continuous training pipeline for GPT-3, which will allow the model to be updated and improved over time. This will involve adding new data to the model's training set and fine-tuning the model on specific tasks. By maintaining a continuous training pipeline, OpenAI hopes to ensure that GPT-3 remains a state-of-the-art model and continues to advance the field of natural language processing.
In conclusion, ChatGPT is a powerful and innovative language model that offers a unique perspective on the human condition.
Like the Oracle of Delphi, which ancient Greeks relied on for divine visions, ChatGPT provides answers to our questions and reflects back to us the knowledge and experiences we have shared online.
However, it is important for researchers and developers to carefully consider and address the limitations and challenges of this and other AI models, including biases, efficiency and deployment, and potential risks and impacts. By working on these, OpenAI and other researchers can help ensure that ChatGPT and other AI models are used ethically and responsibly.
