I have been using ChatGPT for a long time in China. Every time I communicate with Xiaobai, even people who use ChatGPT, I feel confused. Just this weekend, I will organize a popular science article about ChatGPT for you. Anyone who understands or uses ChatGPT must read it~~~
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI-powered natural language processing tool that lets you have human-like conversations with chatbots and more.
ChatGPT learning English example
Who created ChatGPT?
ChatGPT was created by artificial intelligence and research company OpenAI. The company launched ChatGP on November 30, 2022
OpenAI is also responsible for creating the popular drawing model DALL-E and the automatic speech recognition system Whisper.
What is the official operating cost of ChatGPT?
GPT-3 costs about $1.4 million to train once.
For some larger LLMs (Large Language Models), training costs range from $2M to $12M.
It costs ChatGPT about $7 million per day to keep it up and running.
Electricity costs around $50,000 a day
Is ChatGPT free?
At present, there are two official versions of the prescription
1⃣️ GPT3.5
Each registered user account has a balance of 5 US dollars for red users. After the use is completed, a credit card needs to be bound for bill payment. However, the official has clearly stated that the availability of the service is not guaranteed. If the pressure on the computing power is too high, first limit the flow of this part user.
2⃣️ GPT4.0
At present, due to computing power issues, 4.0 is only available to plus members, and the cost is 20 US dollars per month. The use of web pages is currently limited to 25 times per 3 hours.
How big is the impact of ChatGPT?
This is a big deal. Disruption at the Internet level.
“ChatGPT is terribly good. We’re not far from dangerously strong artificial intelligence,” said Elon Musk, one of the founders of OpenAI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on Twitter that ChatGPT had more than 10,000 users in its first five days after launch.
ChatGPT is the fastest-growing app of all time, according to an analysis by Swiss bank UBS. The analysis estimates that ChatGPT has 100 million active users just two months after its launch. By comparison, it took TikTok nine months to reach 100 million.
Is there a tool to recognize ChatGPT text?
The need for a ChatGPT text detector has become increasingly apparent due to concerns about students using ChatGPT to cheat. OpenAI, the AI research company behind ChatGPT, has released an imperfect free tool to solve this problem. OpenAI's "classifier" tool correctly identified only 26 percent of AI-written text with a "probably AI-written" feature. Additionally, it provided false positives 9 percent of the time, incorrectly identifying human-written work as AI-written.
Other AI detectors exist on the market, including GPT-2 output detector, writer AI content detector, and large-scale content AI content detector. However, ZDNET tested all three tools and the results were not satisfactory. All three tools have been found to be unreliable sources of discovery AI, repeatedly giving false negatives.
While tools are insufficient to detect text generated by ChatGPT, a study showed that humans can detect politeness by looking for it in the text. The results of the study show that the writing style of ChatGPT is very polite. Unlike humans, it cannot generate responses that include metaphors, sarcasm, or sarcasm.
Using ChatGPT, it says it's fully loaded, what does it mean?
Many flocked to it due to the buzz it created due to its advanced features. When too many people use it, it gets overloaded and cannot handle requests. That doesn't mean you can never access it. It just means that it should be tried later when the site is less visited.
If you want to skip the wait and get better access, there is an option to choose. As of January 4th, OpenAI has a ChatGPT pro plan, ChatGPT Plus, which allows users general access even during peak hours, experience faster response times, and priority access to new features and improvements, but requires a monthly fee of 20 Dollar.
How should ChatGPT be used?
The model has many capabilities beyond answering simple questions. ChatGPT can write papers, write speeches, write business plans, do questions, and even write code according to requirements.
- create application
- Write code
- production build
- Write Excel formulas
- Summarize & Extract Article Content
- write a cover letter
- Do PPT【Example】
There are too many functions, and I will show you how to use each function in succession, please continue to pay attention
How does ChatGPT work?
ChatGPT runs on a language model architecture created by OpenAI called the Generative Pretrained Transformer (GPT). According to OpenAI, the specific GPT used by ChatGPT was fine-tuned from models in the GPT-3.5 series.
However, with a ChatGPT Plus subscription, you can access ChatGPT using Open AI's most advanced model, GPT-4.
This type of generative AI model is trained on vast amounts of information from the Internet, including websites, books, news articles, and more.
The language model was fine-tuned using supervised learning and reinforcement learning. The use of reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) is what makes ChatGPT particularly unique. According to OpenAI, with RLHF, a human AI trainer provides the model with a dialogue in which they act as both the user and the AI assistant.
What is the difference between ChatGPT and a search engine?
ChatGPT is a language model for conducting conversations with end users. Search engines index web pages on the Internet to help users find the information they are looking for. ChatGPT does not have the ability to search for information on the Internet. It uses information learned from the training data to generate responses, leaving room for error.
Another major difference is that at this stage ChatGPT can only access information until September 2021, while regular search engines like Baidu have access to the latest information. So if you ask ChatGPT who won the 2022 World Cup, it won't be able to give you the answer like Baidu.
But the answer given by Baidu is the existing information on the Internet, which cannot be automatically generated based on user content, but ChatGPT can automatically generate the content you need based on your prompts, rather than completely someone else's.
What are the limitations of ChatGPT?
As powerful as it looks, ChatGPT still has limitations. Such limitations include the inability to answer questions worded in a particular way because it requires more wording to understand the entered question. An even bigger limitation is the lack of quality in the responses it provides - which sometimes sound plausible but have no real meaning, or can be overly verbose.
The model doesn't ask for clarification on ambiguous questions, it just guesses at the meaning of your question, which can lead to unexpected responses to the question.
"The main problem is that while ChatGPT generates answers with a high error rate, they may often seem good and the answers are fast, and it works for me, but it doesn't replace me yet.
Another major limitation is that ChatGPT's data is limited to 2021. The chatbot has no knowledge of events or news that have occurred since then. Therefore, some prompts will not render any results, such as "Who won the 2022 World Cup?
Finally, ChatGPT does not provide the source of its information. However, there is a workaround. [Dig a hole first, today I mainly write popular science articles, and fill it in quickly recently, please pay attention to my updated articles].
Can I chat with ChatGPT?
While some people use ChatGPT for complex functions like writing code, you can use ChatGPT for more everyday activities like having a friendly conversation.
Something as simple as "I'm hungry, what food should I eat?", or something as simple as "What do you think will happen in the next life?" Either way, ChatGPT is sure to give you the answer.
Why are some people worried about ChatGPT?
Concerns have been raised about AI chatbots replacing or atrophying human intelligence. For example, a chatbot can efficiently (though not necessarily accurately) write an article on any topic in seconds, potentially eliminating the need for human writers.
Also: AI can automate 25% of jobs.
Chatbots can also write entire full texts in seconds, making it easier for students to cheat or avoid learning how to write properly. This has led some schools to block access to it.
Another problem with AI chatbots is the possible spread of misinformation. Since the bot isn't connected to the internet, it can make mistakes about what information it shares.
Also: ChatGPT has zero intelligence, but it's a revolution in utility, say AI experts
The bot itself says: "My answers are not intended to be taken as fact, and I always encourage people to verify any information they receive from me or any other source." OpenAI itself also notes that ChatGPT will sometimes write "sounds plausible but is not true" or nonsensical answers".
Is ChatGPT a good thing or a bad thing ?
ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that has the potential to make people's lives easier and assist with everyday tedious tasks such as writing everyday documents or browsing the web for answers. However, certain technical details must be clarified before they can be used broadly to prevent negative outcomes such as the spread of misinformation. Typically, AI and ML models rely on extensive training and fine-tuning to achieve desired levels of performance.
What is GPT-4?
GPT-4 is the latest version of OpenAI's language model system, and it is much more advanced than the predecessor GPT-3.5 that ChatGPT runs on.
GPT-4 is a multimodal model that accepts text and images as input and outputs text. This is useful for uploading worksheets, graphs and charts for analysis.
Also: What is GPT-4? Here's everything you need to know
Currently, GPT-4's text input functionality is the only one available to the public. Users can use it by subscribing to ChatGPT Plus for $20 per month.
GPT-4 has advanced mental capabilities that allow it to outperform GPT-3.5 on a range of simulated benchmarks. It also reduces the amount of hallucinations produced by chatbots.
Is ChatGPT smart enough to pass benchmarks?
Yes, ChatGPT is able to pass a series of benchmark exams. A professor at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania used ChatGPT to take the MBA exam and the results were impressive.
Not only did ChatGPT pass the exam, but it scored an amazing B to B-.
Also: ChatGPT for the MBA exam. Here's how it does it
OpenAI also tested the chatbot's ability to pass benchmark tests. Although ChatGPT can pass many of these benchmark exams, its scores are usually in the lower percentiles. However, with GPT-4, ChatGPT scores much higher.
For example, ChatGPT in the 3.5 series scores in the lower 10th percentile on mock bar exams, while GPT-4 scores in the top 10th percentile. See the image below for more examples from OpenAI.
How involved is Microsoft with ChatGPT?
Microsoft was an early investor in OpenAI, the AI research firm behind ChatGPT, long before ChatGPT was released to the public. Microsoft first got involved with OpenAI in 2019, when it invested $100 million and then $200 million in the years since. Microsoft has expanded its partnership with OpenAI with a multi-year, multi-billion dollar investment.
Neither company disclosed the value of the investment, but sources said it would total $1 billion over several years, according to Bloomberg. In return, Microsoft's Azure service will become OpenAI's exclusive cloud computing provider, powering all OpenAI workloads across research, product and API services.
Microsoft is also using its partnership with OpenAI to revamp its own Bing search engine and improve its browser. Microsoft has unveiled a new Bing search engine that runs on the next generation of OpenAI's large language model tailored specifically for search.
What is the relationship between Bing Chat and ChatGPT?
In early February, Microsoft rolled out a new version of Bing, the standout feature of which is the integration with ChatGPT. When it was announced, Microsoft shared that Bing Chat is powered by a next-generation version of OpenAI's large-scale language models, making it "more powerful than ChatGPT."
Five weeks after the launch, Microsoft revealed that Bing Chat has been running on the most advanced Open AI model, GPT-4, since launch, even before that model was launched.
Because Bing's ChatGPT is linked to the Internet, the biggest difference from ChatGPT is that Bing's version has current affairs information. Another major advantage of the new Bing is that it links back to the sources it pulls information from, leaving less room for misinformation.
But it is also a pity that it is not accessible in China.
What is Google Bard and how does it compare to ChatGPT?
Bard is Google's AI chat service, a competitor to ChatGPT, Google's experimental AI chat service. In the more than a month since the announcement, Google has begun rolling out access to Bard via a waitlist.
But Bard currently does not support Chinese, and can only ask questions in English.
