View chatGPT from a dialectical point of view
Note: ChatGPT in this article can also be understood as other related artificial intelligence robots to a certain extent
0. What is ChatGPT (objective explanation)
ChatGPT (full name: Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer), a chat robot program developed by OpenAI in the United States, was released on November 30, 2022. ChatGPT is a natural language processing tool driven by artificial intelligence technology. It can conduct conversations by understanding and learning human language, and can also interact according to the context of the chat. It can really chat and communicate like a human being, and can even write emails and video scripts. , copywriting, translation, code, writing papers and other tasks.
——From "Baidu Encyclopedia"
ChatGPT is a chatbot that uses artificial intelligence technology for language conversations. It is built on the OpenAI GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) model, which can conduct multiple rounds of dialogue through natural language understanding, generation and dialogue management technology. ChatGPT can intelligently answer users' questions, provide information and suggestions, and can also conduct small talk, with certain language understanding and expression skills. ChatGPT can be used in customer service, education, entertainment and other fields to improve efficiency and convenience.
——Answer from ChatGPT
You should already know what ChatGPT is, or be very familiar with it.
I won’t go into too much detail on the principle and usage of ChatGPT here. Since November 22, there have been countless blogs on CSDN introducing these.
What I want to say is, when its development is inevitable, or when it is a done deal, how should we deal with this field that we have never explored?
Well, maybe we can use the five pairs of basic categories of materialist dialectics to analyze it first.
(The following paragraph is not the point, just read the conclusion) (At the same time, I feel that I may make mistakes)
(Although the materialist dialectics is right, why can’t I understand it...)
1. Analyze the five basic categories of materialist dialectics
1.0. Content and form
The content determines the form, and the form reacts to the content.
For ChatGPT, chatbot is its "form" and artificial intelligence is its "content".
Chatbots may determine the future development direction of this artificial intelligence, such as the emphasis on natural language is a must.
And artificial intelligence is its most essential core. There is still a large gap in the exploration of this field, and it is difficult for us to predict its future.
1.1. Phenomenon and essence
Essence determines phenomena, any essence is expressed through phenomena, and any phenomenon expresses essence from a certain aspect.
In November 2022, just 5 days after ChatGPT was launched, more than 1 million users registered.
By the end of January 2023, the monthly active users of ChatGPT have exceeded 100 million.
Why is there such a great demand for ChatGPT in the world?
Everyone will have their own answers, or ideas.
For example, we have to deal with a lot of meaningless and boring tasks, such as dealing with a report, a speech, a line...
For example, ChatGPT can greatly improve the efficiency of repetitive labor. If you are familiar with something, you still have to "output" for review...
But, what caused this? Is it a personal concept, the "guidance" of the company, or does society have to make us like this?
1.2. Cause and effect
A cause is a phenomenon that causes a phenomenon, and an effect is a phenomenon that is caused by a phenomenon. Any cause must cause a certain result, and any result must be caused by some causes.
Obviously, ChatGPT can greatly reduce our burden in various aspects and in various senses.
So people will be willing, or inclined, or even rely on using ChatGPT.
This is completely normal. In other words, who wouldn't love to use a tool like this?
So, we welcome ChatGPT so much.
But what will this tool bring? If people rely on artificial intelligence, if one day it is unavailable, how will people work, how will they act, and how will they make decisions?
In other words, if we are immersed in the hotbed of ChatGPT, will we lose our independent thinking ability and behavior ability?
1.3. Necessity and chance
Necessity refers to the unmovable trend in the connection and development of things, which is inevitable under certain conditions, and accidental refers to the uncertain trend in the development of things.
Combined with the plot of "The Wandering Earth 2", in the movie, the development of the "550" series of artificial intelligence is inevitable, and Tu Hengyu's persistence led people to develop 550W, which is the so-called "villain". If there is no request from Tuhengyu, maybe 550W will be developed, but it may be later.
Tu Hengyu's behavior has promoted the development of the artificial intelligence industry, which can be counted as "accidental". That is to say, "occasion can sometimes hasten the coming of necessity".
Now, the development of artificial intelligence is also unchangeable and is "inevitable". Maybe there will be some accidental turning point in the future that will affect or change its development. This is something we can do.
1.4. Reality and possibility
The reality contains the development direction for the future, and new possibilities will continue to be generated, which may contain the factors and basis for the development to become a reality. Once the subjective and objective conditions are ripe, it may be transformed into a reality. We must base ourselves on reality, look forward to the future, analyze the various possibilities of the development of things one by one, give full play to our subjective initiative, and strive to turn good possibilities into reality, while avoiding bad possibilities.
For now, the development direction of ChatGPT and others is unknown. It is possible to develop automatic programming, more human-like chatbots, data analysis fields...or all of the above.
It depends on the choice of openai
2. The benefits of using ChatGPT will bring us
2.0. Reduce labor burden
If, we need to write a speech for entertainment. But rather than expending our own energy to write, we hope to use such a tool more.
Although it is not very well written now, it can still be used after modification.
In other words, when writing some "knowledge point summary", it may be more convenient than searching and modifying everywhere.
You should know more about the specific usage method, so I won’t go into too much detail
2.1. Provide inspiration and ideas
When there is no way to start a composition or article, you can use ChatGPT to stimulate your own ideas
, but it is not recommended to rely too much or refer to it completely.
As shown in the picture:
and can be used to arrange the schedule (although it looks not very smart)
(don't care if there is a typo)
3. Possible disadvantages of using ChatGPT
For the society,
it will cause problems such as employment difficulties, but this is not the focus of today's discussion
For Organizations: Privacy Breaches
On April 4, 2023, based on multiple media reports, since March 11, when South Korea’s Samsung Electronics allowed some employees of the semiconductor business department to use ChatGPT, three leaks of confidential information broke out within 20 days. Of the three leaks of confidential information, two were related to semiconductor equipment and the other was related to internal meetings.
It is certain that ChatGPT collects sensitive information for analysis in various aspects, but will this information be leaked?
If our data is confidential, we need to consider whether to send it to GPT for analysis and sorting, etc.
For individuals
, if we use calculators for a long time, our oral and mental arithmetic ability will definitely decline.
In the same way, if you rely on artificial intelligence in your life, will your thinking ability, way of thinking, judgment, cognition, and even your three views be affected?
If you are used to relying on GPT, what if one day it gives a wrong answer, and you think it will not make a mistake, just do it?
If you subtly change your ideas, thoughts and even beliefs, what will happen?
What will happen if GPT is rooted in your life, and suddenly one day, openai refuses to provide services?
Can you imagine the above problems?
Summarize
ChatGPT will bring us a lot of convenience, but at the same time, it will also bring irreversible decline in thinking level and affect cognitive ability.
The brain needs to think in order to progress, rather than blindly obeying and being "brainwashed".
If everything is decided by artificial intelligence, what is the difference between us and puppets without feelings and thoughts?
Control the application of artificial intelligence to benefit human beings, instead of controlling human beings, controlling human thoughts and concepts.
ChatGPT is, and is only a tool for human beings, although it is very convenient.
Even if we can guarantee the stable operation of artificial intelligence, we can still achieve its objectivity and fairness.
We are still not sure whether it will affect our "thinking ability, way of thinking, judgment, cognition, and even three views."
The way to defeat a ChatGPT is not to make unbiased and obedient bots, in some respects we cannot surpass artificial intelligence.
Yes, we can't.
However, in the final analysis, the robot is just composed of countless 0s and 1s on the computer.
Use robots to beat robots? joke.
To quote a line I read in a novel:
Do you use the knowledge they taught you and the weapons they gave you in an attempt to defeat them?
But the greatness of human beings is that we have faith, and we will not be bound forever by low-level desires.
Maybe we can't surpass AI, but we can't be swayed by AI.
anyway. ChatGPT is not so terrible, if we use it reasonably, it will benefit human society.
