ChatGPT – five useful ways you can use the AI chatbot

by | Dec 11, 2022 | AI, app, General, Other News

ChatGPT is a large language model trained by OpenAI. Its primary function is to assist with generating text(answers) based on the input(question) it receives. It does this by using natural language processing techniques to analyze the input and generate responses that are relevant and coherent.

“I am not a physical entity, but rather a computer program designed to help with tasks involving the generation of text,” it replies when asked, who are you?

A large language model is a type of artificial intelligence system that has been trained on a massive amount of text data. The model learns the complexities and nuances of natural language and generates text that is both relevant and reasonable. Large language models can be used for a variety of tasks, such as machine translation, summarization, and question-answering.

In the case of ChatGPT, It is specifically designed to assist with generating text in response to user input. Allowing it to provide relevant and helpful information on a wide range of topics in a conversational way.

The OpenAI chatbot does not have access to the internet or any other external sources of information. It can so far only provide information based on the text data used to train it. In as much as it can generate text on a wide range of topics, it is not able to provide up-to-date information on all topics.

Here are 5 ways you can use ChatGPT

Answering questions

It can provide information on a wide range of topics, allowing people to get answers to their questions quickly and easily.

Summarizing text

It can help people understand longer pieces of text by summarizing the main points and key ideas.

Generating reports

It can help people generate reports and other written documents. It can currently generate financial, technical, market research, scientific, and environmental reports.

Translating text

The chatbot can assist with translating text from one language to another, making it easier for people to communicate with others who speak different languages. However, we are unable to tell how many languages it can translate to.

Writing assistance

It can help people with their writing by suggesting words and phrases and providing assistance with grammar and punctuation. We have also seen others share it helping them write letters, essays, and more.

Overall, the conversational AI chatbot is still in its early days of development and will need some more training. It’s big on the conversational way compared to previous chat AI’s like Siri, Cortana, and Alexa.

Conversational AI Technology: Microsoft demos breakthrough at Build 2019

Conversational AI Technology: Microsoft demos breakthrough at Build 2019

Conversational AI Technology

Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella showed off new intelligent conversational capabilities during his vision keynote address at Microsoft Build 2019. A breakthrough that will allow people to communicate naturally with computers. Watch Build Vision keynote with Satya Nadella here if you missed it.

Have you tried having a normal conversation with your virtual assistant? You know it isn’t really fun when you want more, except the usual commands it can respond to. Satya mentioned three setbacks with the current virtual agents. Conversations with current virtual agents he said are very brittle, don’t have natural language capabilities and aren’t multi-agents.

The new breakthrough Satya says, brings a conversational experience away from the previous manually curated set of skills. The Conversational AI Technology will use a multi-turn, multi-domain and multi-agent experience, keeping the conversation in context.

This is an excerpt of what he said;

“Now, in spite of all the progress, you’ve got to remember, today, most of the conversations that we have are still very brittle. They’re truly not multi-turn. The context from turn to turn gets lost — especially human language is complex, where the context sometimes is subtle. So, therefore, how do you make sure that the natural language capabilities inside of these personal assistants is capable of having that shared context across a long dialogue versus just a few turns?”

From the video we can see how the conversation takes a total of 34 dialog turns. With the virtual assistant keeping the conversation in relation and context to who, where, what and when it applies to.

Microsoft says the new conversational engine will be integrated into Cortana and made available to developers through the Bot Framework, other Azure surfaces and beyond. Microsoft will also make it available to its customer ecosystem, who will be able to customise it for their use.

The breakthrough is steered by Microsoft’s Semantics Machines, Microsoft Research Community and the Microsoft 365 team.
