Chinanews.com, February 8th (Reporter Li Jinlei and Wu Jiaju) ChatGPT is popular all over the world, and its active users have "hurricanely" exceeded 100 million within two months of its launch. Many people worry whether it will replace their jobs.

Even Google, Apple, and Microsoft can't sit still

  ChatGPT is a new chat robot model developed by OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence research laboratory.

  "ChatGPT is scary, and we are not far from a dangerously powerful artificial intelligence." Former ChatGPT partner and new Twitter boss Musk commented.

Bill Gates also commented in an interview with Forbes: The significance of ChatGPT is no less than the birth of PC and the Internet.

  Facing the popular ChatGPT, Google, Apple, Microsoft and other giants are in a hurry, and they can't sit still and they have made moves to "challenge".

  Google, which woke up early and caught up with the late episode, directly sounded the "red alert". Alphabet, Google's parent company, announced that it will launch an AI (artificial intelligence) chatbot service called "Bard" and more artificial intelligence projects.

  On February 2, Microsoft officially announced that all its products will integrate ChatGPT across the board.

According to Bloomberg News, under the influence of ChatGPT, Apple will hold its annual internal AI summit next week.

  Domestic companies are also following suit.

The name of the Baidu-like ChatGPT project is determined to be "Wen Xin Yi Yan", and it is planned to complete the internal test in March and open to the public.

  "ChatGPT is the latest development of the big language model. This time it is out of the circle mainly because it is indeed a qualitative improvement." Liang Zheng, deputy director of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence International Governance Research Institute of Tsinghua University and director of the Artificial Intelligence Governance Research Center, told Zhongxin Finance He said that in terms of landing and application, ChatGPT is considered reliable by ordinary people, and then they use it. This is a breakthrough.

  "In terms of its own performance and acceptance, ChatGPT is a commercial milestone," Liang Zheng said. Giants such as Google followed up one after another because they saw the enlarged window from 1 to 100, 1,000, and 10,000 to provide commercial services. Prospects are opened.

ChatGPT has been born for three months, why is it more popular now?

When it first came out, people in the circle said it was easier to use than before, but no one really took it as seriously as it does now.

The increase in investment by companies such as Google only happened this year, because they saw market opportunities coming.

ChatGPT says it will replace part of human occupations

  In the face of ChatGPT, major business giants are anxious, and ordinary people are also worried.

Many people worry whether ChatGPT's powerful capabilities will replace some professions, such as programmers, writers, painters, and so on.

  A reporter from Zhongxin Finance and Economics asked ChatGPT, "Do you think you will replace part of human occupations?", and ChatGPT replied that some occupations, especially those that require repetitive and precise tasks, may be affected by artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies. Impact.

  As for which occupations to replace, ChatGPT has a list: data entry clerks, repetitive office jobs, simple tasks on the factory line, telemarketers, simple customer service jobs, etc.

  ChatGPT says this is not a complete list, nor does it say that these occupations will disappear immediately.

It is important to note that as technology develops, so will new career opportunities, and some occupations may change, but not disappear completely.

  However, ChatGPT "comforts": humans are still creating new occupations and needs, and technology will also create new job opportunities.

Therefore, humans and AI will co-exist and collaborate, rather than replace each other.

Do people need to worry about job replacement?

  In this regard, Liang Zheng believes that ChatGPT, like other new technologies in the past, will replace some jobs and create some jobs, including becoming an auxiliary tool in many work links.

  "I don't think that ChatGPT will become a very scary thing after it comes out, and it will bring about social disruption. It should be a good thing." Liang Zheng said that ChatGPT is actually a cooperative relationship with humans, and it can be used like a machine. People's "hands" are freed.

It's actually a great tool.

  Liang Zheng said that ChatGPT has capabilities, but its flaws are also obvious. For example, if a phenomenon or event is not in its corpus, at present, it cannot be created out of nothing.

In fact, the language model first organizes the answers for you based on the corpus it has mastered. Whether it is reliable or not depends on people to make judgments.

  Artificial intelligence currently lacks human imagination, creativity, and empathy.

Liang Zheng said, for example, when human beings explore new scientific principles and new knowledge, ChatGPT can’t come up with it. It needs people to explore and put it in the knowledge base so that it can learn quickly.

The same is true for artistic creation. It seems that artificial intelligence can now create completely independently, but the materials it uses are traceable. It is a combination or a simulation, but real industry authors will feel that " It doesn't taste right", it doesn't feel right.

  As ordinary people, journalists from China New Finance and Economics are also "shivering". Will the reporter's job be replaced?

  Seeing ChatGPT's answer, the reporter felt a little relieved.
