ChatGPT｜Do you think we should be afraid of artificial intelligence?

Once the topic of artificial intelligence is mentioned, what do you immediately think of? Should you be afraid of artificial intelligence? I used to think that this matter was still far away, but I didn't expect it to be so close to us.

Hello , everyone, I am Charles . It is undeniable that the development trend of artificial intelligence has become more and more mature, and it has been applied in many scenarios in many cases. The development of AI is an indisputable fact, especially on December 1 last year . The online artificial intelligence ChatGPT is really frightening ...

What is ChatGPT?

OpenAI

ChatGPT was developed by OpenAI , which was founded in 2015 by Elon Musk , Sam Altman and others . Once this artificial intelligence came out, it immediately became the object of discussion. News about this artificial intelligence on the Internet is generally overwhelming.

1. Some people say that our jobs have been eliminated by this artificial intelligence.

2. Some people say that even the jobs of programmers are not guaranteed.

3. Some people say that Google is doomed.

So ... is that really the case?

What does this mean for me?

For a moment, it seems that the world is about to go extinct ( the scene where Terminator destroys the world )

Unlike previous AI software, ChatGPT seems to know everything, and the answering speed is extremely fast and fluent. It is definitely a human-computer interaction language model that is closest to human thinking so far.

ChatGPT is not just a chat robot, but an artificial intelligence that knows astronomy and geography, can deal with a wide range of problems in the shortest time, interacts in a dialogue way for questions asked by users, and gives answers. Whether it is writing papers, script novels, poems, or even writing programs and debugging , etc., it will not be difficult.

source of information

Most of the content of this artificial intelligence comes from the Internet, including hundreds of thousands of Wikipedia entries, community posts and news. It can be said that his intelligence is very limited by the storage capacity of his data database. How big is it, and after data collation and analysis, answer your questions in human terms.

After I tried it for a while, I was really shocked, the usability is extremely high, you can even use it to write Apps , write code, at that moment I really felt that I can rely on him for dinner! For everything I don't understand in the future, just ask him.

Indeed ChatGPT really has many potential uses, including:

1. You can develop it into your virtual avatar: let it talk directly to customers, make it part of customer service, and provide timely information to your customers.

2. Second, use it as your personal virtual assistant: with just a few tweaks, it can answer certain types of questions.

3. Third, turn it into your text generation tool: writing copywriting, writing articles, writing papers, etc.

Everything sounds perfect, doesn't it?

The way he answers questions, now ChatGPT is threatening the Google search engine. Google CEO Pichai has told some teams to switch directions and actively develop AI -related products. It’s okay to calm down and think about it. If it really replaces Google’s search engine, then Google’s advertising revenue business model will receive a very big impact, and it can even be said to be fundamentally subverted.

Think about it, compared to a list of blue links. Organized information, logical explanations, talking to people in a way that people can understand, providing information, and completing simple writing tasks. This is no different than the biggest reason to be more attractive to use. Imagine what it would be like if you now had a computer that could answer any question the way a human would?

imperfect place

Does that mean ChatCPT is perfect? No, for now, there are still many imperfections. For example , the knowledge of ChatGPT only comes from the statistical laws in the training data, rather than having complex and abstract understanding abilities like humans. So if you believe in the answers given by ChatGPT without thinking and understanding at all, you will be misled every minute. Such as manipulating financial markets by spreading misinformation.

Even Elon Musk (Elon Musk) himself said that ChatGPT can use the Twitter database, and we all know that Twitter spam is quite rampant. This means that ChatGPT will definitely learn a lot of content that lacks factual verification, and will be used to generate false news and spread maliciously.

Although it is said that there are imperfections, some people will still say that it is too bad and many jobs will be replaced. Doing homework, writing papers, even being a programmer is screwed. Regarding this point, I still have some other views.

Yes, he can indeed create content and write code.

But at the current level of development, he is only a human assistant and cannot achieve real creation. To put it bluntly, ChatGPT is not capable of doing some work that requires creativity, thinking or personal judgment. He more often plays the role of helping to think. Giving us the answers he sorted out in the database cannot really think creatively or generate new ideas.

In other words, you are still the master who gave the order.

Besides, it is not a happy thing to completely rely on ChatGPT to write papers or write code. The purpose of writing articles is to prove that you can think, but if you shorten the (writing) process and hand over your thinking to an artificial intelligence, then Does this paper still make sense? Of course, you can definitely use ChatGPT as a tool to help you think, but you can't let this tool represent you.

in conclusion

Going back to the original question, "Should you be afraid of artificial intelligence"? This does not seem to be a question that can be answered immediately. The only conclusion I can give is that it all depends on the speed of development of the times and one's own evolutionary ability.

In any case, I believe that one day, AI will replace some jobs, especially some highly repetitive jobs. But even if that day does come and your industry is replaced, I believe a whole new industry will emerge. The emergence of Uber is the most typical example. Question are you ready?

Finally, as long as you think about it carefully, all industries / jobs are actually inseparable from people's most basic needs, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation. It is because of these needs that various new business activities and new jobs have meaning.

So, don't think so much, let's look at this matter with an open mind, learn new skills honestly, and prepare well for the day that comes, then you will never be out of date.
