Everybody is talking about ChatGPT and other similar tools. What are they and how can they be used?
ChatGPT, as well as Bard, Bing, DALL-E, Midjourney, Codex and many more, belong to a machine learning category called Generative AI (GenAI). The idea of a GenAI is to generate something, for example text, images, videos, audio, and 3D models. GenAI learns patterns from existing data to generate new and unique outputs. It does not really “know” things, it just uses those patterns and combines them.
A technology called transformer neural network was first introduced in 2017. Large Language Models (LLMs), that for example ChatGPT uses, are based on this transformer architecture and have made significant advancements in natural language processing. The acronym GPT comes from words Generative Pre-trained Transformer. We will discuss the technology in later issues of ORAWORLD.
In this article we will talk about how a GPT tool can be used and what are the risks and limitation you should be aware of. We will use ChatGPT as an example. (Page 12)
