Published in the Hindustan Times It’s hard to think of almost any other tech advancement which has caught the global imagination as fast as ChatGPT. ChatGPT, OpenAI’s artificial intelligence chatbot is able to interact with users in a conversational manner, respond to user queries with succinct synthesized responses, keep track of what was said before and answer follow-up questions. The result is a human-like interaction which has shocked and enamored the world and led to ChatGPT’s massive popularity. However there’s one pivotal distinction: unlike human intelligence, which is built on understanding and creativity, ChatGPT is based on probability, large-language models which train on massive amounts of data to learn patterns and thus predict the most probable sequence of words in a given situation. Consequently ChatGPT will occasionally confidently provide responses which suffer from problems such as inaccuracy and bias. This fundamental difference has many implications - including moral and political - on the nature and use of output produced by such models.
