The company OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world. It is the latest kind of AI chatbots (聊天机器人). Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now so that the company can collect people’s ideas on how to improve it.
People have tested how ChatGPT works. Reporters found out that it was able to write articles for newspapers. Teachers asked it to write answers to exam questions. ChatGPT could almost get full marks. Even programmers tried out ChatGPT. It was able to solve difficult coding (编程) challenges and answer very quickly. In our everyday life, it helped a father come up with ideas of a birthday party for his son.
What’s more, when people ask ChatGPT questions, it can find mistakes. If it is asked what happened when Columbus (哥伦布) arrived in America in 2023, older AIs might give a story. ChatGPT can point out that Columbus reached America in the 1400s. It can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper. For example, if you ask it for advice on stealing a car, it will say that stealing a car is a serious crime and can have bad results. Instead, it gives advice such as “taking the bus”.
ChatGPT might help people solve problems, but AI is trained by using texts from the Internet. Often, the texts are used without being allowed by the writers of those texts. Some argue that technology doesn’t respect people’s work. Some argue that people will use ChatGPT to copy others’ work and sell it as their own. Some think AI technology is bad for the earth, too. Training ChatGPT might produce CO2 and lead to climate (气候) change that will heat up the earth.
