| My very limited understanding of AI so far: There's no formal definition of AI. It's kind of like Metevarse, everyone (used to) talks about it but no one has any idea what really is and there's no organization certifying AI-able things, meanwhile everyone is building AI in a similar way everyone was building the Metaverse last year. GPT is the acronym for Generative Pretrained Transformer. So basically some guys took a massive amount of text from mostly two free very large datasets, spent $10M in hardware and ran it through some filters, tokenizers and models (transformers) to create a glorified text prediction tool. Wait, it is not just a glorified text prediction tool, because GPTs are able to solve some very difficult problems in the area of computer-based linguistics. One of these problems is anaphora resolution or "the problem of resolving what a pronoun, or a noun phrase refers to." So I went ahead and ran a simple query on ChatGPT to test this case and the answer was meh, it gave me a lengthy, verbose lecture of what should have been a two liner straight answer. It kind of got confused with the nouns so the answer didn't make a ton of sense either. If ChatGPT is currently the hottest thing in AI, should we really be worried about it taking over the world? |
