Is ChatGPT a great invention or is it being ‘hyped’?

The technology is not too new, but the breakthrough in business model and user experience made ChatGPT “popular” as soon as it was launched, and stirred up the race of many technology giants. 

Since its launch, ChatGPT has generated a lot of buzz. Even while many believe that Chat GPT will eventually replace human resources, it has progressively become a part of our daily life. But is ChatGPT really that potent, or is everyone just being overly dramatic?

Despite not being a technological advance, ChatGPT has been able to stay ahead of its rivals because of a business model that targets both B2B (corporate institutional customers) and B2C (individual consumers) as well as comprehensive customer information.

A ‘winning’ business model

Breaking all records to become the fastest-growing application in history (reaching 100 million users after two months of launch), ChatGPT, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrated chatbot tool developed by Open AI, implemented is a business model worth learning even though the technology is not so new.

Usually entering the market, businesses need to build a business model but to stay ahead of the competition, businesses need a winning business model. Open AI has done this.

ChatGPT was born to “hit” right at the pain of customers when they want to complete their “to-dos”. Thanks to that, this tool quickly attracted a huge number of users after only a short time.

Currently, the introduction of ChatGPT is seen as ushering in a new age in information search. Users can take part in data submissions as an alternative to one-way information search. The Google business model is likely the most vulnerable at this point. In addition, AI will flourish across a wide range of media, including games, graphics, audio, and audiovisual content in addition to text. Companies and organizations are compelled to adapt and accept the game as a result.

“Strength” is the first phrase that Mr. Vu Quang Hieu, Head of the Data Platform Department, ZaloPay in Vietnam, uses to talk about ChatGPT when it can fully answer user questions in all areas, even difficult questions. In addition to its power, ChatGPT also has its usefulness, in that a lot of people use this tool as a virtual assistant, providing content templates to write emails, write reports or compose presentations, etc. 

Difficult to be ‘human’

ChatGPT still works according to programming and human input, it is difficult to progress to level 4, which is thinking like a human.

According to experts, ChatGPT is a machine and works according to human programming, the answers of this tool are simply based on the data it has been fed. Of course, there will also be cases where this tool is out of control. For example, when a user intentionally refutes an answer, ChatGPT will also falsify the information content accordingly.

One consequence of ChatGPT affecting young people is creating a habit of receiving information quickly but “shallowly”. In the past, people may spend hours reading books and watching videos on YouTube to learn more about a topic.

However, with the introduction of TikTok, the information is now condensed into a 30-second video. Young people are misled into believing that they just need to watch for 30 seconds to learn something, whereas, in reality, they do not fully comprehend.

Jackson Ryan from CNET provided an excellent example: The Information Age used ChatGPT to write the complete account of it, and they published it online along with a brief introduction.

When the study offered somewhat complete information, it was deemed satisfactory; nevertheless, ChatGPT fabricated citations and gave them the name of an OpenAI researcher named John Smith when it was “written”.

This demonstrates the weakness of a significant language model like ChatGPT: the inability to distinguish between fact and fiction. Chatbots are unable to be taught to accomplish this. It is a word processor that has been programmed to construct logical statements.

This is the key difference between a chatbot and a human. As a result, ChatGPT (or the underlying large language model based on Open AI’s GPT 3.5) is essentially prevented from doing journalistic tasks like reporting news or making public comments. current subject. Ryan claims that claiming ChatGPT can “rob” journalists of their labour is a degradation of journalism.

When Kylian Mbappe won the World Cup in 2018, ChatGPT was unable to read the emotion on his face or interview him. They also were unable to board a ship for Antarctica and write about their experiences.

Given everyone’s interest in ChatGPT, it deserves praise. The OpenAI improvements made to the product are worth noting. But the main reason it attracts attention is that it’s so accessible.

Data is not ‘clean’

Without a doubt, OpenAI won’t have enough time to use humans to read and double-check all the data fed into the language model. Additionally, it violates the standards for creating models by automatically identifying hidden features in unlabeled language model data, such as GPT.

Therefore, when using ChatGPT, we must acknowledge that we are conversing with a training machine built from a variety of heterogeneous data and that there is no way to confirm its accuracy. A fundamental computer science principle should not be overlooked. Expecting a positive result from an input of junk is like saying “Garbage in, garbage out.”

Be a sober customer when using ChatGPT

There are many reasons to be excited about OpenAI’s most recent development, ChatGPT. However, some topics are worth talking about even though they are not immediately helpful. The first open-source model of its sort, which gave all developers (big, small, and hobbyists) access to the technology simultaneously, has the tech world excited. The way you use Chat GPT is the way to decide whether it’s top or not. 

Don’t rely too much on it because there will be cases where either you will find it very useful or you will be disappointed by it. Because in general, ChatGPT still works according to programming and human input.
