Based on statistical probability, it functions like a supercharged predictive text, putting one word before another. Despite having no real knowledge, it still sounds terrifyingly human and credible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-11r1m41-RichTextComponentWrapper ep2nwvo0\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">But if you push yourself further, play harder, and try to make it &#8220;steal your job,&#8221; you might land with a (comforting) bang.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/techrobin.com\/chatgpt-in-data-science\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ChatGPT In Data Science &amp;#8211; 5 Ways ChatGPT Can Assist Data Scientists<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-dm4ypg-ComponentWrapper-HeadlineComponentWrapper egtrm1f0\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-component=\"subheadline-block\">\n<h3 id=\"Stirring-debate\" class=\"ssrcss-y2fd7s-StyledHeading e1fj1fc10\" tabindex=\"-1\"><strong><span role=\"text\">Stirring Debate<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-11r1m41-RichTextComponentWrapper ep2nwvo0\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">A few weeks later, Radio 4 called to ask me to make a documentary on ChatGPT because it might even be helpful.

It seemed that the era of &#8220;it&#8217;s to techie\/no one understands it\/people are afraid of AI\/our viewers aren&#8217;t interested in technology&#8221; had abruptly ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">The ability to test this sophisticated generative AI had altered the situation. Everyone was in a frenzy as people played with it, academic institutions debated what uses they should permit, and professionals wondered what it meant for them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">As is well known, it frequently hallucinated and got things wrong, but the problem was that it also got things right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-11r1m41-RichTextComponentWrapper ep2nwvo0\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I had the luxury of listening to the world&#8217;s top academic analysis and discussing what AI means for us. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This subject matters to me and ought to matter to all of us, so I didn&#8217;t want to keep it to myself.

As soon as we had bagged the visitors and addressed the problems, new situations arose. Some were hypothetical, while others presented problems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">We spoke with experts, people who were embracing it creatively, people who were leery, and some people who were just curious about what it would mean for their careers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">We experimented with writing an introduction, questions, and a conclusion for the program. You can interpret its work however you like, but what seemed impressive at first frequently descended into the absurd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">&#8220;Good day, tech enthusiasts\u2026&#8221; is not my usual greeting of choice. Perhaps it should be, or perhaps AI is smart enough to know better, and perhaps we are already losing our capacity for sentience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">We have only seen this technology in its initial form. Indeed, it is impressive, representing a significant turning point for AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\">I certainly don&#8217;t discount the boundless opportunity and potential that will result.

How very human of me to think I was being too picky. Testing it came with the warning that we are learning together, and there may be some mistakes and surprises since it has been known to reflect the spirit of its interrogator, but it did come with that caveat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The subtleties of human behaviour and the complexity of human thought cannot be accurately replicated by ChatGPT or any of its competitors.

However, they have a lot of options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite my misgivings about it, ChatGPT was occasionally useful in producing the documentary. It could not distinguish between a passing remark and a &#8220;this needs to be in,&#8221; so I could not bounce ideas off of it or give things some thought.
