In Conversation with ChatGPT

I recently learned about ChatGPT, and it's been interesting.

As my data science instructor happily talked to us about this amazing AI tool launched in Nov of 2022.

Since it's launched ChatGPT has grown, and today Microsoft just invested 3 billion dollars in OpenAI ( the makers of ChatGPT). This also proves that AI is here to stay and content creation by AI is worth a lot to companies.

ChatGPT was developed by OpenAI, a research company founded by Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Wojciech Zaremba and John Schulman in December 2015. For some of you, some of the names may not be relatable, but believe me if there was a team to know they would be it. Specially if you have an idea and you wanted investors who understood vision and the future of technology.

Now in my quest to to understand ChatGPT, I decided to do what any sensible person would do. ASK ChatGPT!

So here it is, I asked and it answered:

First, what exactly is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI. It is trained on a dataset of conversational text and is able to generate human-like responses to a wide range of inputs. It can be used for tasks such as chatbot development, language translation, and text completion.

What is the best way to use ChatGPT?

The best way to use ChatGPT will depend on the specific task or application for which you are using it. Some possible ways to use the model include:

1. As a chatbot: ChatGPT can be fine-tuned on a dataset of conversational text and used to generate responses to user input in a chatbot application.
2. For text completion: ChatGPT can be used to complete a given prompt or sentence, making it useful for tasks such as text generation, language translation and summarization.
3. For Language Understanding: ChatGPT can be fine-tuned on a specific dataset and used to understand the intent of the text or to classify the text in to different categories.

It's important to note that in all the above cases you need to fine-tune the model on specific dataset to make it more accurate and relevant to your use case.

What are some fun facts about ChatGPT?

• GPT (short for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer") is a type of language model developed by OpenAI.
• GPT-3, which is the third iteration of the GPT model, has 175 billion parameters, making it one of the largest and most powerful language models to date.
• GPT-3 can generate text that is often indistinguishable from text written by a human, it can also be fine-tuned to perform specific language tasks, such as translation, summarization, and text completion, with remarkable accuracy.
• GPT-3 has been used to generate poetry, music, and even source code with good results.
• GPT-3 was trained on a dataset of more than 570GB of text data, which includes a diverse range of content such as books, articles, websites, and more.
• GPT-3 is so powerful that it can understand different languages, it's able to generate text in multiple languages and even translate text from one language to another with high accuracy.
• GPT-3 has been used to create chatbots, language understanding models, text completion models, and more.
• GPT-3 has the ability to answer questions and perform research tasks, it can be used to quickly find answers to questions without the need to manually search for them.
• GPT-3 has been used to create creative writing tools, such as poetry and songwriting and even screenplay.
• GPT-3 has been used to create models that can generate code, this is done by fine-tuning the model on a specific dataset of code and then using it to generate new code based on a given prompt or context.

I continued to ask about code generating data, websites, and 30 ways to use ChatGPT. It not only answered but provided me an extensive list. Another key learning on ChatGPT is that although it provides you answers you still have to dig deeper. It allows you to regenerate answers, at which point ChatGPT provides you a different answer and sometimes the same answer worded differently.

If you want to learn more about ChatGPT, I suggest you "Ask ChatGPT". As for Microsoft very impressive investment it's no surprise. The company owns tools like word and outlook which both can gain improvements by incorporating an AI technology like ChatGPT. As a matter of fact many companies will gain when incorporating AI in a manner that can help it save time and money. In a world where content is king and companies are creating content at the speed of light AI text generating tools like ChatGPT may prove to be invaluable.

If you have a marketing department and looking to create something like a social media calendar with post ideas, guest what? ChatGPT will create a fairly decent plan with some starter content in under 3 minutes!

While you have to still keep in mind the ethics of this technology. Schools recently banned it fearing students will use it to create essays, and various agencies are looking at how extensive the tools goes beyond text.

I have to say that it's nice to ask and get an answer. After all who doesn't like a content creation 24/7 copywriter at a fraction of the price!

So get ready, get set and ask away! your next campaign, website or NFT may just be a product of ChatGPT.
