New Delhi: You’ve probably heard about ChatGPT, a ground-breaking new tool that has gained attention since its late 2017 debut. It stands for Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer. Based on user inputs, the AI-powered chatbot provides answers. Users have used ChatGPT for anything from creating poetry to getting homework help. Some believe that ChatGPT poses a direct challenge to Google’s 149 billion dollar search engine, where it has long held the top position. Microsoft recently announced a 10 billion dollar commitment to extend its cooperation with OpenAI. Google is worried, as per several experts.
What is ChatGPT?
The chatbot ChatGPT was introduced in late 2020 by OpenAI, a business that Sam Altman and Elon Musk initially helped co-found. The language technology used by the bot is OpenAI’s GPT-3.5, an update of the GPT-3 model introduced in 2020. In its first week, ChatGPT had over a million users. The chatbot creates replies to text requests that sound human-like using machine learning. The bot was trained using a wide variety of material, including chats, books, and articles. A wide range of subjects and situations are understood by the chatbot.
As per Forbes, when asked ‘What is ChatGPT?’, the system ChatGPT replied, “ChatGPT is a large language model developed by OpenAI that has been trained on a diverse range of internet text to generate human-like responses to a given prompt. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) architecture and can be fine-tuned for various language tasks such as question answering, language translation, and text summarization.”
The chatbot unexpectedly succeeded in passing the Wharton MBA test. The instrument did an “excellent job at basic operations management and process analysis questions, even those that are based on case studies,” according to professor Christian Terwiesch, who designed the test, as per Forbes.
Why is Google worried?
The artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, which was made available to the public at the end of November 2022 and soon became a Twitter phenomenon, is generating a lot of talk among Google personnel.
Some of them are unsure about Google’s position in the competition to develop smart chatbots that can respond to consumer inquiries. After all, Google has long marketed itself as an AI pioneer and its primary business is an online search. The acronym LaMDA, which stands for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, refers to Google’s conversational technology.
Employees expressed worries about the company’s competitive edge in AI at a recent all-hands meeting in light of ChatGPT’s unexpected surge in popularity.
“Is this a missed opportunity for Google, considering we’ve had Lamda for a while?” was one of the questions at the meeting, according to a CNBC article.
In response to the query, Jeff Dean, the longtime head of Google’s AI division, and Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet, said that while their business has comparable capabilities, the cost, if something goes wrong, would be higher since consumers have to trust the responses they receive from Google.
