Everyone is talking about the new AI bot named ChatGPT. Whether you’re a business owner or your career title involves a lot of writing, you need to know about this tool.
So, what the heck is it? ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot system that the OpenAI research lab released. You can ask the chatbot any question, and your response is written in essay form. Right now, the chatbot is in test or review mode, but eventually, OpenAI expects this tool to be able to write all legal documents, articles, essays and lesson plans, and even code. Be worried if I just listed anything you do for a living.
For one day, I used ChatGPT to do all my writing. First, I asked the bot to write an article on Brittney Griner’s release. The bot was able to write a very well-spoken article. The catch is it wrote an article on her talks about leaving the WNBA to play for a Russian team. You have to give specific instructions to get the results you want. I got more specific and asked ChatGPT to write a 30-second broadcast script about the current housing crisis. It was at a read rate of 30 seconds, including an intro to welcome viewers to the show. The overall content was half accurate but did not inform enough to use.
Then I asked it to write a javascript code for a calculator. I’ll let you know if it works. I tested a few other things. ChatGPT can create a usable business contract, a love letter to your person, and a college essay; expect a C for your grade.
There is one major catch to this new technology, which is likely why you still have a job. The ChatGPT can not provide information about specific people because it can not browse the web. It’s a large language model trained by OpenAI and can only answer questions it’s been taught. Another con is you can’t overwork the bot, or it will ask you to slow down with the questions.
In conclusion, your job and mine is safe for now. Eventually, as most technology does, the bot will grow to be able to be more accurate. ChatGPT will grow to be an aid to teachers, law firms, media companies, content creation, and engineers.
