Summary

ChatGPT is like a magical librarian that answers your questions, but it’s really a computer program. It’s been trained on lots of books and articles, so it can find the closest match to your question and give you an answer. Although it seems smart, it’s not perfect and can sometimes give dangerous or incorrect information. Despite its flaws, ChatGPT has changed the world, making expert knowledge available to everyone. It’s like a superpower that lets you learn anything, transforming how we learn and work.

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT, it’s like a magical librarian who can answer all sorts of questions for you, but it’s actually a computer program. Think of it as a very sophisticated Answering Machine, a voice menu with a series of options like “Press 1 for this, Press 2 for that”. But instead of pressing 1 or 2, you type your question. And ChatGPT comes up with correct, similar-sounding answers. Imagine having a giant book of all the Questions and Answers Humanity has ever had at your fingertips. That’s ChatGPT!

Why does it seem smart?

ChatGPT seems smart because it knows a lot of things. It has been trained by reading and learning from lots of books, articles, and other things people have written. So, when you ask it a question, it looks for the closest match in its “memory” and gives you an answer. That’s why you might be thinking it’s intelligent! It is not! It’s just a large book or an Excel spreadsheet with all Q&As. And we don’t think of spreadsheets as smart!

Is ChatGPT dangerous?

While ChatGPT is super helpful, it’s not perfect. Sometimes, it might start to say something it shouldn’t, like a bad joke or dangerous information. The All Humanity’s knowledge book has the answers to the most dangerous questions as well! “How to make a bomb?” “How to make a chemical or biological weapon?” “How to hack a computer, or engineer a regular virus?” “How to steal identity, clone a voice and steal money?”

OpenAi, the creators of ChatGPT, have tried to filter out those dangerous answers, but it’s a big challenge. And of course, on some questions, there were no answers found so ChatGPT hallucinates.

What does ChatGPT mean for us?

ChatGPT has changed the world in a big way! Now, everyone can have the knowledge of experts right at their fingertips. This means people can learn new things, solve problems, and be more creative than ever before. It’s like having a superpower that lets you learn anything you want!

Every Human on Earth is now a Q&A specialist. A programmer, a writer, a lawyer, a psychologist, a teacher, a scientist. Every Knowledge Economy job which relied on Q&A is now can be done by any average human with ChatGPT access. I believe the team at OpenAi deserves the Noble Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Oscar! It gave the knowledge of a few to all of us!

In conclusion,

ChatGPT is a fantastic tool that helps people find answers to their questions quickly. It’s like having a giant book of knowledge that you can access anytime, anywhere. While it’s not perfect, it has changed the way we learn and work. Thanks to ChatGPT, everyone can now become a superhero of knowledge!
