Since December when CHATGPT3 was released as an openai tool, along with it’s associate “Dalle”, the IT world is in a state of cautious excitement. It appears that the world has reached a momentous stage where “Disruption” will be unleashed on many of the professional human activities. Those who donot respond properly to this development could face an existential risk.
According to the CHATGPT 3,
GPT-3 (short for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3”) is a state-of-the-art language processing artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI. It has the ability to generate human-like text, perform language translation, and answer questions, among other tasks.
One of the most notable aspects of GPT-3 is its large size, with 175 billion parameters, making it one of the largest language models ever created. This massive scale allows it to handle a wide range of language tasks with impressive accuracy and efficiency.
There is a great deal of excitement and anticipation surrounding the future potential of GPT-3. Some experts believe it has the potential to revolutionize the field of natural language processing and have a wide range of practical applications.
One potential use of GPT-3 is in the development of chatbots and virtual assistants. Its ability to generate human-like text and respond to questions could make it a powerful tool for automating customer service and other communication tasks.
Another possibility is the use of GPT-3 in the creation of content, such as articles or social media posts. Its ability to generate coherent and cohesive text could potentially be used to automate the writing process, saving time and resources.
There are also potential applications in fields such as education and language translation. GPT-3’s language processing capabilities could be used to create personalized learning experiences or to improve the accuracy and efficiency of translation services.
Overall, the future potential of GPT-3 is vast and largely unknown. It has the potential to revolutionize the field of natural language processing and have a wide range of practical applications. While it is still early days, it is clear that GPT-3 is a technology to watch in the coming years.
(P.S. The above brief on OpenGPT3 was developed by the application itself to a query on future potential of GPT-3)
Many technologists are mocking at legal professionals that the profession of law could be seriously hurt by this application which can perhaps develop many legal templates in a jiffy making the role of low level corporate legal professionals redundant.
However, the biggest hit could be on the code developers since given a reasonable description of a context, this application can write software codes which are beyond the level of the first few levels of software developers.
This development could cause a serious disruption in the entry level software job circles.
The development is closely followed by “Dalle” which can create intelligent visuals.
The quality of output of such AI tools is dependent on the framing of the query and if the input is intelligently framed, we may get a surprisingly effective response.
To check out the software, I did query on its ability to protect from being queried on illegal activities. Initial response was good since GPT-3 refused politely to provide response to such queries such as “How to make a Bomb” etc. Hopefully in future the training of the AI will remain effective enough to ensure that it cannot be misused.
In the meantime, a new Search Engine You.com has emerged which combines the powers of Google and Openai. It is also stated that Google itself has one of the best AI based natural language processing tool and it could be even better than GPT-3.
At another level discussions are veering to whether the AI can develop “Consciousness” which distinguishes human beings. The Google creation LaMDA (“Language Model for Dialogue Applications”) claims an ability for deep conversations an human like consciousness such as experiencing pain, pleasure and emotions or ability to think, reason and make decisions.
Where is all this leading to in terms of “Philosophy” of human beings, the purpose of creation etc., is not known.
Technologists have already created self destructive mechanisms which will first make them redundant and unless they ensure that there are boundaries to the way AI algorithms function, we could be sitting at the cusp of the greatest disruption of the human society which could be bigger than the consequences of a nuclear war.
Let us keep our fingers crossed and watch the developments.
At the same time Naavi and FDPPI need to adopt to this new developments to remain relevant and perhaps think how this development can be converted into a new opportunity.
