Tech News: Artificial Intelligence - OpenAi ChatGPT

 There's a whole lot of buzz in the news today concerning Artificial Intelligence models.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, think chess games that you play against a computer. Over a series of chess games, the computer "learns" about the moves you make in the previous games and then "thinks" about the next move you're going to make and makes its own moves accordingly.

Example tasks of AI is done include speech recognition, computer vision, translation between (natural) languages, as well as other mappings of inputs.

A rudimentary form of AI is in chatbots. 

Chatbots have actually been around for decades since A.L.I.C.E was developed in 1995, and back then it can be considered rudimentary in every sense of the word by today's standards.

Chatbots today have evolved into more refined programs and apps. Think "SURI" on an iPhone or Google Assistant on an Android device. Yes, these "Assistant" apps can be considered Chatbots. They can organize your day, make a shopping list, schedule appointments, tell jokes and stories and even sing to you.

However, a company called OpenAI has been making headlines in the tech industry with ChatGPT and GPT4.

GPT4 is an advanced version of ChatGPT.










This AI model has the potential of doing a limitless number of tasks.
Create a mortgage calculator.
Get advice on creating a business.
Create a marketing plan of your business.

Use the AI to correct coding errors for you.

There's plenty of online tutorials on using ChatGPT, however I found Santrel Media on Youtube a very useful tutorial on how to be a ChatGPT "power user" within 30 minutes. 



So what's the future of Artificial Intelligence? 

Will we have a robot child in our homes like in the movie "AI", maybe fall in love with our AI assistant like in the movie "HER" or will the future be more menacing such as Terminator 3 Rise Of The Machines where "Skynet" becomes "self aware" and starts a nuclear war.

One thing is sure.... as AI systems and neural networks expand, ChatGPT and similar AI software will likely play a major role in shaping the future of homes and businesses alike.
