ChatGPT to Eliminate a Lot of Current Jobs

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, believes that artificial intelligence technology will reshape society as we know it, adding that he worries that AI chatbots could "eliminate a lot of current jobs".

According to ABC News, he believes it comes with real dangers but can also be "the greatest technology humanity has yet developed" to drastically improve our lives.

We've got to be careful here. I think people should be happy that we are a little bit scared of this," Altman was quoted as saying.

When asked why he was "scared" about forming his company, he said that if he wasn't, "you should either not trust me or be very unhappy that I'm in this job".

"It is going to eliminate a lot of current jobs, that's true. We can make much better ones. The reason to develop AI at all, in terms of impact on our lives and improving our lives and upside, this will be the greatest technology humanity has yet developed," said OpenAI CEO.

In addition, he discussed the possible effects of chatbots powered by AI on education, including their potential to encourage laziness among students.

Education is going to have to change. But it's happened many other times with technology. When we got the calculator, the way we taught math and what we tested students on totally changed".

Moreover, Altman and his team want users to think of ChatGPT as a "co-pilot," in any field, someone who can help you write complex computer code or solve problems, said the report.

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3 and GPT-4 families of large language models and has been fine-tuned (an approach to transfer learning) using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.

ChatGPT was launched as a prototype on November 30, 2022, and quickly garnered attention for its detailed responses and articulate answers across many domains of knowledge. Its uneven factual accuracy, however, has been identified as a significant drawback.Following the release of ChatGPT, OpenAI's valuation was estimated at US$29 billion in 2023.

ChatGPT was originally released in November 2022 using GPT-3, but GPT-4, the newest OpenAI model, was released on March 14, 2023, and is available for ChatGPT Plus users.

Premium service

OpenAI launched a paid version of ChatGPT, "ChatGPT Professional", in January 2023 for $42 per month. They promised that the updated, but still "experimental" version of ChatGPT would provide access during peak periods, no downtime, priority access to new features, faster response speeds and no restrictions.

GPT-4, which was released on March 14, 2023, is available via API and for premium ChatGPT users.However, premium users are limited to a cap of 100 messages every four hours. Microsoft has also confirmed that versions of Bing using GPT had in fact been using GPT-4 before its official release.

Limitations

ChatGPT suffers from multiple limitations. OpenAI acknowledged that ChatGPT "sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers". This behavior is common to large language models and is called artificial intelligence hallucination.The reward model of ChatGPT, designed around human oversight, can be over-optimized and thus hinder performance, otherwise known as Goodhart's law.

ChatGPT has limited knowledge of events that occurred after 2021.According to the BBC, as of December 2022, ChatGPT is not allowed to "express political opinions or engage in political activism". Yet, research suggests that ChatGPT exhibits a pro-environmental, left-libertarian orientation when prompted to take a stance on political statements from two established voting advice applications.

In training ChatGPT, human reviewers preferred longer answers, irrespective of actual comprehension or factual content. Training data also suffers from algorithmic bias, which may be revealed when ChatGPT responds to prompts including descriptors of people. In one instance, ChatGPT generated a rap indicating that women and scientists of color were inferior to white and male scientists.
