Ep. 42 Chat-GPT. News about Natural Language Processing: from Hal9000 (2001: a Space Odyssey) to Chat-GPT.

Welcome to this week in the news. In this episode, we will comment on one announcement made by OpenAI about a new AI chatbot (Chat-GPT) capable of interacting with humans using chatbot commands. (user prompts)

Quick Disclaimer:

2001: a Space Odyssey (Hal 9000) is a Sci-Fi Movie that you may not be related to if you are a Millennial or if you are not a sci-fi aficionado. ??

Let’s go!

Typical expectations about Natural Language Processing /NLP

We are used to AI as a disruptive technology with a solid use case: evaluating information and finding trigger events that can be responded to in real-time with automation tools.

Indeed, this is a powerful and convincing way to use AI.

On a broader approach, we see Artificial Intelligence as a disruptive technology between two scenarios: on one side; we imagine the possibility of having a Humanoid with Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) interacting with us under the three laws of robotics.

On the other hand, we imagine a piece of Software capable of working with autonomy, providing relevant information to humans to support a decision-making process.

OpenAI announcement of Chat-GPT

This week’s news is a quantum leap between the two stages: An AI-based algorithm capable of responding to humans using a chatbot interface (user prompts).

Remember Hal9000 2001: a Space Odyssey?

Hal 9000 (2001: a Space Odyssey) was an AI entity capable of interacting with humans in natural language.

Chat-GPT is an OpenAI chatbot announced by OpenAI this week (the same team who developed Dall-E) capable of responding to humans using chatbot commands to open questions. (user-prompts)

I’m not going to say that it is one step behind Hal9000, but it is an incremental step in developing AI artifacts playing roles with an important level of autonomy.

An example of an interaction with Chat-GPT

I played myself with the artifact, and this is the interaction we had:

Why does this interaction with Chat-GPT matter?

Do you think this was a simple interaction??

Not really. Think of this. I played very hard with Chat-GPT as my question explored:

• Emotions: (How are you doing?)
• Relevance (This week’s news)
• Boundaries (Tell me what you are confident to talk about)
• Opinions (The three laws of Robotics)

The most important piece is this: Chat-GPT is an artifact that can improve its responses over time; it learns from each interaction.

I would love to have the same interaction with Chat-GPT a year from now and compare the responses to my questions. (emotions, relevance, boundaries, and opinions)
