ChatGPT, what is this new technology?

ChatGPT is a powerful language model developed by OpenAI that has the ability to understand and generate human language. It is revolutionizing the way we interact with machines and has a wide range of potential applications. In this article, we will take a closer look at what ChatGPT is, its potential uses, and also test how it works.

What is ChatGPT?

By the end of 2022, AI research and development company, OpenAIlaunched a chatbot tool capable of accessing large databanks on the web onto the international market.

This is ChatGPT, an AI that allows you to obtain a variety of information on practically all topics found on the Internet and also generates texts, sentences or word lists according to the user's needs.

The magazine CNN defines this chatbot as "a language model trained on a large amount of online information to create its responses", it is the evolution of the text generator Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 or GPT-3 (another OpenAI model).

How does ChatGPT work?

ChatGPT is a machine learning based language model. It is trained on large amounts of text to understand the context and structure of the language. In this way, it can autonomously generate text, answer questions and perform tasks related to natural language processing.

ChatGPT requests

When you get to the main Chat page, you will have a text bar similar to regular chats and there you can type your request; whether you require a paragraph, text or want to ask a specific question. Some examples of requests that can be made in ChatGPT include:

• Generation of coherent and natural text in a variety of subjects and styles. For example, it can be used to generate articles, news, e-mails, etc.
• Automated responses to answer questions in areas such as technical support or customer service. 
• Machine translation.
• Summarization of long texts such as articles, news, etc.

Results

The process is just as if you were chatting with a person. The AI types little by little and gives you the option to regenerate the answer in case you need something more specific. It is a fast process in general. 

In addition, the AI gives you the ability to rate their responses, give written feedback on their performance, delete previous requests or chats, and switch your screen to dark mode for convenience.

A development opportunity or a threat to knowledge?

Every new technology is susceptible to both benefits and disadvantages.

Some of the benefits of using this AI are the access to various sources of information to enrich or generate texts, which also facilitates the optimization of processes in companies, for example, communication. Likewise, it provides access to information from all over the world, making it easier to make contrasts between sources without missing any detail. 

However, doubts have been raised regarding the conscientiousness of its use. Institutions such as those in the educational sector have stated that, given the boom generated by ChatGPT, many students began to use it as a way of omitting the actual writing of texts. In other words, AI is being used as a means to disengage from real learning by substituting text production processes.

The solution to this problem lies in the user's willingness to self-evaluate the information provided by the platform and use it as input for their own creation instead of copying and pasting texts. 

This is also the case for searches performed on search engines such as Google and Bing. Exactly, this is a matter of conscience and ethics as well, since all technology must be used responsibly.

A dialogue with the chatbot: What is ChatGPT according to itself?

Curiosity was killing us! So we decided to test how ChatGPT describes itself. Below, we'll show you the AI's answer to our question:

At the end, we thanked the chatbot for its response and it cordially replied with a "You're welcome! If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask." Truly exceptional...

Now that you have seen an example of ChatGPT in action and you know how it works, what do you think? Would you use this AI for your texts? 

Remember that the technological tools we have access to are varied, but it is up to us how we use them and if we turn them into an opportunity to grow.
