Do homework, write essays... what else can ChatGPT not do?

　　"The rise of artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT will be as important as the birth of the Internet or the development of personal computers." Bill Gates said in an interview recently, "Artificial intelligence will become the hottest topic in 2023."

　　Bill Gates valued it so much, on the one hand, because of the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI. It is reported that OpenAI's machine learning and computing are deployed on the Microsoft Azure cloud, and on the other hand, it is also because of the super capabilities of ChatGPT.

　　According to public information, ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence technology-driven natural language processing tool released by the artificial intelligence research laboratory OpenAI.

ChatGPT's human feedback enhancement model technology uses human preferences as reward signals to fine-tune the model. It can conduct conversations by learning and understanding human language, and can also interact according to the context of chatting, chatting and communicating like humans, and even complete writing. Mail, video scripts, copywriting, translation, coding, and more.

　　In November 2022, once ChatGPT was launched, it quickly became popular on social media. In less than a week, the number of users exceeded 1 million, and the monthly visits reached 21 million.

Only two months after the launch of ChatGPT, the monthly active users at the end of January 2023 have exceeded 100 million, making it the fastest growing consumer application in history.

　　Writing homework, writing papers, writing speeches... ChatGPT has appeared in many fields. According to the news department of the authoritative academic journal "Nature", as of now, ChatGPT has appeared as a co-author in at least four published articles. in papers or preprints.

　　Elon Musk, one of OpenAI's original co-founders, tweeted: "It's a new world. Goodbye homework!"

　　"ChatGPT, as a tool, can be used in many industries, and at the same time, it can also be used for content production, which will greatly improve efficiency and greatly improve human life." Zhejiang University International Business School Digital Economy and Pan Helin, co-director of the Financial Innovation Research Center, told the reporter of Zhongxin Finance, "When it develops to a certain stage, it will also replace some types of work."

Issues such as technology, safety, and education have attracted attention

　　The use value of ChatGPT has been excavated by human beings, and the technology, security, education and other issues caused by it have also attracted attention.

　　Schools in New York have banned the use of ChatGPT over fears students could use it to cheat, the Guardian reported.

New York City Department of Education spokeswoman Jenna Lyle said the decision stemmed from "concerns about the negative impact on student learning, as well as concerns about the safety and accuracy of the content."

　　Due to the use of ChatGPT in papers, several well-known academic journals are also updating their editorial rules.

According to the Economic Times (ET), the journal Nature stated that software such as ChatGPT cannot be considered as the author of papers published in its journal.

　　"This is because any author attribution implies responsibility for the work, which cannot be assumed by AI tools," explains Nature.

　　It is worth mentioning that the professionalism of ChatGPT has also been questioned.

　　According to the Wall Street Journal, University of Texas professor Paul von Hippel found that ChatGPT can talk superficially about mathematics, but it can't really "understand" it in depth.

"It doesn't correct wrong math concepts, and it often introduces its own, sometimes making inexplicable math mistakes that a basic spreadsheet or hand calculator wouldn't make."

　　"It acts like an expert and sometimes convincingly imitates an expert. But it's usually a bullshit artist mixing truth, error and fabrication to sound convincing unless you have some expertise yourself." Hipper said.

　　In many conversations with ChatGPT, China New Finance and Economics also found that it tends to "correct nonsense" in answering some questions, and some questions cannot even be answered.

　　Meera Muratti, OpenAI's chief technology officer, also acknowledged in an interview with Time magazine that robots "could make up facts" when writing sentences, describing it as a "core challenge."

ChatGPT generates responses by predicting the logical next word in a sentence, she said, but technical, safety, educational and other issues also come into play.

　　"ChatGPT still has great limitations and cannot really reach the level of human thinking." Pan Helin said that at the same time, the current AIGC (using artificial intelligence technology to generate content) may be a technical blind box, and the content produced is impossible. predictable.

"Although it has improved a lot in terms of user experience, there is also a voice now that it is actually not as good as imagined."

　　In addition to professional issues, some people worry that because the relevant laws and regulations on AIGC are not perfect, and the user's usage boundaries have not yet been established, ChatGPT may be used for illegal and criminal activities.

　　Some foreign experts also believe that cybercriminals may use OpenAI's ChatGPT to develop new malicious tools, including information stealers, multi-layer encryption tools, and darknet market scripts.

Competing for a share of the pie, domestic and foreign companies have entered the game one after another

　　Although ChatGPT still has some limitations in terms of technology and security, its broad commercial prospects have attracted attention and are expected to set off a new wave of artificial intelligence.

　　Huachuang Securities believes that ChatGPT is expected to kick off the wave of AI industry.

This time, whether it is the introduction of ChatGPT content creation by the American new media giant BuzzFeed and Microsoft’s plan to integrate ChatGPT into multiple products, or the ChatGPT pilot subscription plan ChatGPTPlus released by OpenAI (a monthly fee of 20 US dollars), the effect and market recognition of ChatGPT, The significance of the wave of artificial intelligence is particularly significant.

　　"Although ChatGPT still has some areas that need to be improved, what the market sees from the ChatGPT payment revenue-generating model this time is the possibility that the commercialization route of AI will really come to fruition." Huachuang Securities said.

　　In Pan Helin's view, "This is a milestone event in the field of artificial intelligence. It is a very important promotion for the development of the artificial intelligence industry, and there will be a certain upsurge. Everyone will carry out applied innovation in various fields."

　　The reporter noticed that recently, many enterprises at home and abroad have entered the game one after another, vying to "get a piece of the pie".

　　A few days ago, Google announced an artificial intelligence chat robot technology called Bard, which will directly compete with ChatGPT; Microsoft announced the launch of the latest version of the Bing (Bing) search engine and Edge browser supported by ChatGPT; The robot service project "Wenxin Yiyan" is currently in the sprint before going online, and it is expected to complete the internal test in March.

　　360, which also has a search business, also responded on the interactive platform that the company plans to launch a demo version of ChatGPT-like technology as soon as possible.

　　In addition, companies such as Hongbo, Changliang Technology, Entropy Technology, Secoo Group, and Aofei Entertainment also stated that they will conduct research on ChatGPT-related technologies.

　　ChatGPT has also become the focus of investors.

　　On February 7th, US Eastern Time, Microsoft closed up more than 4%, and its market value soared by more than 80 billion US dollars; Google closed up more than 4%, and its market value also soared by more than 60 billion US dollars; US stock Baidu closed up 12.18%.

In addition, the Hong Kong stock Baidu Group closed up 15.33% on the 7th; the U.S. stock market Secoo closed up 124.4% on the 6th, and continued to close on the 7th; A-share 360 ​​and Hongbo shares rose by the limit for two consecutive days (7th and 8th).

　　In addition, Flush iFinD data shows that the concept of ChatGPT in the A-share market has risen strongly recently, and related concept stocks have "taken off" one after another.

However, companies such as Yuncong Technology, Dashi Intelligence, and Xinguodu have clarified that they have not cooperated with OpenAI or involved in the ChatGPT business.

The ChatGPT craze is still spreading, but the concept of ChatGPT has cooled down on the 8th, and the stock prices of many related stocks have fallen.

　　In the view of Huachuang Securities, under the trend of ChatGPT, the effect will always be an important foothold.

There are many companies engaged in large-scale model training at home and abroad. With the high attention of ChatGPT, it is expected that similar pre-training and pre-research models will appear in the market one after another. Similar models are expected to be comparable to ChatGPT in terms of model parameters and training data, but in the end The use effect is always the first goal, and the ability to productize is the key.
