ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer) is an AI model that belongs to the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), which is a branch of artificial intelligence . The so-called natural language refers to English, Chinese, German, etc. that people come into contact with and use in their daily life. Natural language processing refers to allowing computers to understand and correctly operate natural language to complete tasks specified by humans. Common tasks in NLP include keyword extraction in text, text classification, machine translation, and more.
There is also a very difficult task in NLP: the dialogue system , which can also be generally referred to as a chat robot , is exactly what ChatGPT does.
ChatGPT and the Turing Test
Since the emergence of computers in the 1950s, people have begun to study how to allow computers to assist humans in understanding and processing natural language. This is also the development goal of the field of NLP. The most famous one is the Turing test .
In 1950, the father of computing, Alan Turing, introduced a test to check whether a machine could think like a human, known as the Turing Test . Its specific test method is exactly the same as the current ChatGPT method, that is, to build a computer dialogue system , a person and the tested model talk to each other, if the person cannot tell whether the other party is a machine model or another person, it means that the model has passed According to the Turing test, the computer is intelligent.
For a long time, the Turing test has been
