The use of “Chat GPT,” interactive software with AI, is rapidly expanding among individuals and companies.
On the other hand, there are also voices pointing out the problem that it is difficult to notice errors because the answers are too human.
This dialogue software was developed by the American venture company "Open AI" and was released to the public free of charge in November last year.
According to Reuters, the number of people who used the service at least once a month reached 100 million in about two months after its release.
The feature is that AI learns a large amount of data, and when you enter a question, you can create a natural and persuasive sentence like a human being.
For example, when asked what is the best breakfast in the world, people will answer that there is no single answer as it is influenced by region, culture and personal preferences.
In addition, companies can learn a large amount of customer data and use it to propose products for online shopping and return procedures, and there are also services that can support procedures such as closing bank accounts and divorce mediation.
On the other hand, "Chat GPT" has problems such as answering wrong answers as if they were facts in areas where it has not learned enough, and it is difficult to notice mistakes because answers look like human beings at first glance. Concerns have also been raised.
What is Chat GPT?
Chat GPT, software for interacting with AI, is provided by an American venture company called Open AI, which conducts research and development on AI = artificial intelligence.
It was founded in 2015 with donations from entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk, CEO of electric car maker Tesla, and Peter Thiel, founder of electronic payment giant PayPal, and later invested by IT giant Microsoft.
"GPT" is an acronym for Generative Pre-trained Transformer in English, and refers to an AI model that can automatically create answers by learning a large amount of data.
The biggest feature is that you can immediately create an original answer every time with natural sentences as if they were written by a human being.
For example, ``What is the best breakfast in the world?'', ``Write a love letter perfect for Valentine's Day,'' and even ``For Japan's GDP = Gross Domestic Product to overtake China and become the second largest in the world again. You can also answer difficult questions such as “What should I do?”.
For example, when it comes to love letters, I asked, "What kind of love letter would you like? I will write the content according to your request."
When I replied, "This is the first letter to tell someone that I love you, to someone I haven't told you yet," he responded, "It's been a few days since I met you, but I'm attracted to you more and more." After writing in a sentence that I understood that it was a confession, I continued, "I feel happy when I am surrounded by your smile. I love spending time with you."
Also, when asked about how Japan can surpass China to become the second largest GDP in the world, he replied, "Many factors are involved. Below are some of the proposals." important," and "Japan is a strong country in the manufacturing industry, but it is important to further revitalize this sector."
However, at the moment, we have only learned data up to 2021, so for example, even if you ask about Russia's military invasion of Ukraine in February last year, it has the drawback of answering about Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014. I have.
Experts who are familiar with AI say that although the system is not currently connected to the Internet in real time, in the near future the Internet will be directly connected to this interactive software, and they will be able to learn and respond to events that have just happened from the news. I expect it will be like this.
According to Reuters, in the two months since Chat GPT was launched in November last year, 100 million people have used the service at least once a month.
It took about nine months for the video-sharing app TikTok and two and a half years for Instagram to reach 100 million users, and chat GPT is expanding at the fastest pace ever. and
Expert "It is important for users to learn how to use it correctly"
Oren Etzioni, CEO of the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, who is familiar with the latest trends in AI = artificial intelligence, said, "Although AI is also used in Google searches, it was operating behind the scenes. That was the advent of chat GPT. For the first time, we have demonstrated the capabilities of AI in a direct and visible way."
On the other hand, "There are negative aspects such as counterfeiting using AI. It is necessary to create a law that chats using AI must clearly state that they are AI. It's important to learn how to use it correctly," he said, pointing out the need for certain regulations and the importance of users learning how to use it.
