- OpenAI’s ChatGPT is a free AI-powered chatbot that uses GPT-3 language model and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to generate text.
- It has sparked an explosion of interest in AI and its potential impact on society.
- OpenAI’s API is a leader in terms of offering access to AI capabilities, but its cost limits exploration and discovery.
- ChatGPT is a threat to homework, as it can generate “original” text from regurgitation for free.
- AI output is probabilistic, unlike calculators which are deterministic, and it is important to catch it when it gets it wrong.
- AI-generated content is a step beyond user-generated content, but currently has a low rate of accuracy.
- Stack Overflow has temporarily banned the use of ChatGPT to create posts on the site.
- The role of the human in terms of AI is not to be the interrogator, but rather the editor.
- Homework assignments should focus on verifying and editing AI-generated answers, rather than regurgitating them.
- Zero trust information is the only systematic response to Internet misinformation that is compatible with a free society.
