Thoughts on ChatGPT and AI Tools

What is ChatGPT

• ChatGPT is an AI application that can answer any question you ask it. OpenAI trained it on human generated content up until 2021. It is something called a Large Language Model (LLM) where it generates some text based on the question.
• One surprising thing about chatGPT is how good it is at providing answers to questions. Normally, you would need to search Google and read through multiple pages to find an answer. ChatGPT provides you a single answer, as if it were an expert.  So you don't have to navigate through multiple pages to find the information you need.
• I've tested ChatGPT  by chatting with it about facts, code, soft skills, and creating plans. It gave great to good answers for most. 
• It is not perfect.  If you know what you're asking about you will know its limitations. Even with these limitations, it is immediately useful for lots of things. For me it is most useful for organizing things I already know, remember things that I knew of but forgot and helping with coding syntax instead of having to look up documentation. 

Where is the immediate impact

• It is a great companion to our work. It can be a great tutor when you're learning something.

• It writes code and creates essays so well, it seems that it will affect any test based on textual input. Think school essays, online coding tests etc.

• ChatGPT together with other AI tools like DALL-E, MidJourney will change creative fields. 

• You can know generate poems, stories, create artwork all through AI. 

• You can create animations and videos with prompts and scripts. 

• You can create designs and copy for your product. 

• AI generated content will explode. It will difficult to know what is AI created vs human generated.

• It will democratize all these skills so people who are bad at these can already do an OK job using these AI tools. 

• Good creators, developers, designers, story tellers, editors, animators will always have demand. Because after all AI is doing for now is regurgitating what these masters have been doing.

What about the future

• AI has exceeded human capacity in some games like Chess and GO. It makes moves which a human thinker can't think of. 
• With more progress, AI will also be able to create great content. The downside is that AI will also create useless content. It will again need humans to review the output to choose the best ones. And may be combine them to create an even better one.

Final Point

In summary, with this AI revolution, we will add a few more tools in our toolset to create things faster and better.
