On November 30, 2022, OpenAI released the ChatGPT chatbot, and perhaps at that time, no one, not even the company's executives, expected that users would appreciate it so much. Now it's been a year since the release of ChatGPT and during this time it has made a lot of changes in the world of technology.
Unlike its previous examples, ChatGPT is a versatile chatbot and can be used for various tasks from text writing to data analysis. This chatbot can be considered a companion, an intelligent personal assistant, a teacher, a friend or a good advisor.
In this article, join Digiato to introduce you to the story of the popular OpenAI chatbot and see what changes ChatGPT experienced during its presence in the market and what impact it had on people's lives. We also depict the possible path of this chatbot in the future.
A fundamental evolution in generative artificial intelligence with ChatGPT
When OpenAI started in 2015, Sam Altman and Elon Musk wanted to create artificial intelligence that would benefit humanity. They also talked about focusing on security and user privacy. At first, the OpenAI team trained and developed a large language model (LLM) based on the Google Transformer architecture, which can generate various texts based on natural language input.
The first official OpenAI product was the GPT-1 language model, introduced in 2018, which uses a variety of data, including the Common Crawl and BookCorpus datasets, to generate complete answers in response to user queries. Although this model attracted the attention of many enthusiasts with its high ability to process natural language, it had significant weaknesses.
GPT-1 was prone to producing duplicate texts; This means that if users asked a question outside of the information taught to this language model, they would not receive specific answers and we usually saw repeated answers. You also couldn't count on the GPT-1 for a long conversation; Because after only a few minutes, the recognition power of the language model would drop and it would not provide a suitable answer.
After a year, OpenAI introduced a more optimized model of the first version, called GPT-2, which supported updates in producing a coherent and fluent language. Also, by using 1.5 billion parameters and receiving a large set of data such as web pages, books and other textual sources, this language model provided comprehensive answers to various questions and users experienced long conversations with GPT-2.
Using the experiences of the previous two models, OpenAI decided to develop GPT-3, and on May 28, 2020, we saw its official introduction. In this version, apart from text generation capabilities, there were features such as language translation. Also, the Playground tool was added to the OpenAI language model set with the release of GPT-3 to make it easier for developers to work with APIs.
With the success that OpenAI had in introducing past models, the company's decision to release a chatbot seemed certain, and on November 30, 2022 we saw the official introduction of ChatGPT based on GPT-3.5. With the official introduction of this chatbot, the artificial intelligence industry entered a new phase of development and the popularity of ChatGPT increased day by day. The reception of this program was such that the number of users of this version reached one million people after 6 days and experienced the fastest growth of a program with the number of monthly users of 100 million.
This growing interest and popularity made the creators of ChatGPT plan to provide a subscription version of the chatbot. Finally, ChatGPT Plus was introduced on February 1, 2023, and for a monthly payment of $20, users will have a wide range of features such as faster response times, off-peak hours, and priority access. Of course, the most important thing is to use the GPT-4 language model in the paid version; This model was introduced on March 14 for Plus users.
In addition to the above, adding the API functionality to this popular artificial intelligence allowed developers to use the capabilities and processing of this chatbot in their programs and build software based on ChatGPT without worrying about technical issues or specific coding details.
Despite the publication of numerous statements to stop the development of ChatGPT for 6 months, the company that created it continued to improve its popular chatbot and by introducing ChatGPT Plugins, it took an important step in this artificial intelligence's access to up-to-date information, performing calculations and using third-party services. In addition, various security features such as disabling chat history were added to ChatGPT, and over time, iOS and then Android versions were also publicly available on the Apple Store and Google Play.
Despite the important improvements in ChatGPT artificial intelligence, there were shortcomings such as the lack of access to new data and the availability of limited information (until September 2021). For this reason, the OpenAI team solved this problem by providing the Turbo GPT-4 version so that ChatGPT can use real-time data to respond to user requests. Also, by providing GPTs, you will be able to customize more in working with API interfaces.
Effects of ChatGPT on our life
We all want to have an assistant who is available 24/7, provides us with any information and data we want, consults and talks to us like a close friend. All these things can be seen in ChatGPT, and it is basically for this reason that this chatbot is considered very popular among users; Because his behaviors and responses are very similar to humans.
If we want to mention all the capabilities of ChatGPT, we have to dedicate another article to it, however, it is necessary to review the most important contributions of this chatbot together to understand how fast ChatGPT is progressing and developing.
OpenAI chatbot is a practical assistant in tasks such as learning and writing news articles and can prepare the desired content in just a few minutes along with the most up-to-date data. Whether you're looking for resources for research or student projects, ChatGPT will instantly display the desired and relevant links. In literary discussions, you can have a literary debate with ChatGPT, which has a high poetic quality, and realize its high cultural potential.
Regardless of the literary and written discussion, this chatbot is an important piece for many companies, employees and managers in the work and business field. ChatGPT assesses your work skills, challenges your critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and is ultimately an important factor in increasing employee productivity, efficiency, and collaboration. Therefore, if you are looking for an idea developer, critic and assistant, you should definitely open an account on ChatGPT artificial intelligence.
Although the general public is paying attention to the positive side of artificial intelligence, some experts are concerned about its progress and the influence of various chatbots, including ChatGPT, in the business world. Expressing their concern about this, they believe that many job opportunities will be lost if artificial intelligence is developed more and more, and the ability of humans will no longer be visible.
The possible risks of ChatGPT are not limited to those listed; Rather, its scope probably includes the security and privacy of users. Cybercriminals, hackers, and even some terrorists can use this chatbot to spread misinformation, phishing, and false advertising, and target users' privacy.
The survey of companies has resulted in different results. The American research company Gartner announced in its surveys that 68% of managers believe that the benefits of artificial intelligence outweigh its risks; This is while, according to MalwareBytes, about 81% of people familiar with ChatGPT are concerned about possible security and safety risks of this chatbot, and 63% have no confidence in the results and information displayed by ChatGPT.
Regardless of the threats and benefits of artificial intelligence, it cannot be hidden that the presence of ChatGPT has had a great influence in encouraging other giants in the field of technology to join the artificial intelligence industry. Meta, Anthropic, Google, and Microsoft are all familiar names, and now we hear more about them with the development of chatbots and productive AI tools.
About 8 months ago, Google unveiled the Bard chatbot and then by adding its extension to YouTube, it can answer questions about videos. Another competitor to ChatGPT is Entropic's Claude 2 chatbot, which stands out from other chatbots by emphasizing user safety and producing more optimized outputs. Other competitors to GPT Chat include Microsoft's BingChat, which uses GPT-4, and Llama 2, a large open-source language model of Meta.
What will the future of ChatGPT look like?
The lesson that the artificial intelligence industry has taught us is the unpredictability of this field. Until a few years ago, no one thought that artificial intelligence would improve to such an extent and that its presence would be felt in our life and business. Despite not accurately predicting the future, ChatGPT AI still has room for improvement and development.
In the field of education, ChatGPT can become a more complete teacher and provide students with more personalized and interactive experiences, including tutoring, feedback and test evaluation. Also, if you are a copywriter or writer, you will see many improvements in writing stories, designing advertisements and posters.
ChatGPT is a great work assistant for managers and employees, and in the near future, these people can use AI chatbots to develop their business, optimize projects, marketing, create different strategies, and improve customer service and satisfaction. Of course, these cases are not limited to education or advertising, and predictions indicate the penetration of this chatbot in other sectors, including health and treatment, sports, and people's social relations.
Another goal of companies active in the artificial intelligence industry is to achieve comprehensive artificial intelligence, or AGI for short, which can be an example of a humanoid artificial intelligence. “Shane Legg”, a researcher in the field of machine learning, claimed about 13 years ago that humans can achieve AGI by 2028, but some other researchers state that the achievement of this technology is further away and in the next decade.
Conclusion
In this article, we reviewed the history of ChatGPT and its growth process, and also talked about the current and future effects of this chatbot. Although artificial intelligence has made human work easier in many fields, artificial intelligence researchers still express their concern about the threats of artificial intelligence and consider the development of various chatbots and their capabilities as dangerous.
We have to wait and see what direction the future of artificial intelligence will take, will there come a day when AGI will replace humans? Can we imagine a new and advanced future with artificial intelligence? We will get answers to our questions over time.
