As you probably know, OpenAI recently released the ChatGPT language neural network.
This service has already broken all the hype records. A few days after its launch, more than a million people are trying out ChatGPT. For comparison, it took Twitter 2 years to achieve this figure, Facebook 10 months.
ChatGPT is available for free use during the "feedback" period. Anyone can work with AI, just sign up here https://chat.openai.com/. The model uses only the information that was included in it before 2021.
It is based on the previous OpenAI text generator, GPT-3. ChatGPT creates a complex and abstract view of the data it is trained on. Roughly speaking, it understands what it is talking about. That's why it writes relevant content instead of just spouting grammatically correct nonsense.
Due to the adaptability of the bot, users have already found ways to use it in a non-standard way. So, let’s have a look at the most interesting ones:
1. ChatGPT can write an essay on any topic
Some universities are even worried whether writing an essay soon will be completely ineffective as a way to test knowledge.
Decades ago, students could copy encyclopedia entries, and more recently, they've been able to search the internet and delve into Wikipedia entries. ChatGPT offers new abilities for everything from helping with research to doing your homework for you outright. Many ChatGPT answers already sound like student essays, though often with a tone that's stuffier and more pedantic than a writer might prefer.
2. Can answer a complicated question in software development
It can also conduct a code review, pointing out mistakes.
There are more thoughts on AI-assisted development here.
3. Creates requests for other AIs to generate images
Midjourney and other neural networks require detailed and precise queries to get a quality result. Other AIs understand ideas from each other much better than a human does. Here is an example of how it works:
And here is the result. Not bad, right?
4. Helps you with the homework
ChatGPT can also complete any task you get at your educational institution. The new AI can be trusted with many typical school assignments, and it does them better than most students.
Another example from universities turned out to be especially cool: a microbiology professor compiled a test of ten tasks that, as he expected, require a deep understanding of the subject and the ability to abstractly understand where to use calculations, even when there is no explicit question about them. It turned out that ChatGPT passed his test by 95%, much better than the average student!
5. It can also write code for smart-contract
For example, he is fluent in the Solidity language for Ethereum. As they say, better than many developers. Perhaps working with the blockchain and creating a dApp will finally become available even for ordinary users.
6. It writes formal letters
ChatGPT can write any formal letter required. A user should simply set the conditions and according to them, the neural network will create a letter. It is necessary to mention that any letter written should be rechecked.
7. Can make up jokes
ChatGPT can tell you a joke, using some conditions written by a user.
8. ChatGPT can even write a book
ChatGPT knows the most popular movies, series, books, and video games. You can ask AI to write a script and it will cope with it perfectly.
As you may have already heard, an American designer Ammaar Reshi asked ChatGPT to generate a book, using his description and after that used the Midjourney AI to illustrate the book. He has published the book on Amazon, but now it is already out of stock.
Conclusion
Some people already believe that the new AI can be used as an alternative to Google. While Google search requires you to sift through multiple websites yourself and dig deeper to find the information you need, ChatGPT answers your question directly—and often does it very well.
It can already significatnly speed up the working process for content creators, software engineers and students).
There might be a new speciality like “AI-assisted developer” in the nearest future.
But be careful with using AI-generated answers without any verification, since GPTchat can always create grammatically correct text, still being nonsense. As with Google and other sources of information like Wikipedia, it's best practice to verify information from original sources before relying on it.
In my opinion, it is only the first step and in a few years, we will watch the rise of AI usage in such areas as software development, cinematography, literature and music.
So ChatGPT is doubtless showing the way toward our tech future.
If you find something else cool to do with this AI - please, share it in the comments below, I think everyone is interested.
