Doomsday Is Coming: ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence (AI)

ChatGPT is an AI learning algorithm developed by OpenAI, sponsored by Microsoft. More specifically, it is generative artificial intelligence that is capable of not only providing information but also interacting with the user organically through conversations. Additionally, it assists them in various fields such as coding, writing emails, or even creating content for companies. Its revolutionary aspect lies in its ability to absorb and learn large amounts of data and then utilize that information to synthesize information or other content–previously thought to be too “creative” or complex for AI to reproduce–that is requested by the user.

Technology is developed by humans and subsequently angled to benefit humans. There are a number of factors that contribute to people’s lives. ChatGPT may be utilized as a tool for students and educators, as the novel device is capable of answering inquiries based on known facts, and only on confirmed facts. ChatGPT allows learners to quickly review texts using the summarization command. ChatGPT is constantly improving, as the AI is capable of answering questions in 95 different languages. Unlike other AIs of a similar nature, which are only capable of a dozen languages. ChatGPT learns through machine learning, meaning interaction with humans is a learning opportunity for the robotic intellect. This allows ChatGPT to constantly evolve, allowing individuals to consume the service according to their needs.

Although ChatGPT has a number of advantages, it also has very clear disadvantages and limitations. For instance, ChatGPT is unable to comprehend complex games or concepts such as chess or wordplay, even if the user explains the concept in detail. Many ChatGPT users around the world have tried to make ChatGPT understand some games, such as chess or wordplay. The AI model said it clearly understood the concept; however, when the user tried to play the game with the model, it was shown that the AI software failed to understand the game's rules. It is also subject to the common limitations of chat AI which is the inability to connect and interact with users. When humans communicate with each other, both individuals can learn and share their emotions. However, one-sided communication between ChatGPT and users keeps ChatGPT from gaining new insights and perspectives. If ChatGPT could only provide an understanding of existing statistics and knowledge, it would be severely limited to generating creative ideas. It would also be limited to recreating the past.

Alongside ChatGPT limitations, there are potential threats that might follow. One of ChatGPT’s most impressive capabilities is that it can help certain jobs be done more efficiently while maintaining quality. However, this also means that some jobs might be completely replaceable with ChatGPT. For example, artists who sketch and paint for months can easily be replaced by websites that produce AI-generated art in just a few seconds. Not only in the field of art, but ChatGPT also brings threats to the academic world. With ChatGPT, students no longer have to think on their own, produce original works, or study for an exam. It has been confirmed that over 60% of college students are currently using ChatGPT to complete their assignments. This shows that ChatGPT has already taken over students’ learning opportunities. In addition, the novel AI proved itself capable of passing the bar exam, raising concerns regarding job opportunities. Similar concerns have existed since AI development-the fear of job replacements in the future. Now, as Chat GPT takes an additional step towards proving itself superior to humans, the problem, yet to be solved, remains a mission for developers.

Our society is expected to be significantly impacted by ChatGPT in the future as concerns rise. Bill Gates, the CEO of Microsoft, claims that with ChatGPT’s ability to generate optimized responses to various and complex topics, its development could pave the way for more advanced AI systems in the future and alter how humans interact with machines and the internet. Indeed, as ChatGPT gains more knowledge through frequent updates, a wider range of people will receive help from this quick and practical tool. Which might lead to the replacement of physical books and dictionaries, as well as information-related technologies. Moreover, the development of ChatGPT but also diverse AI language models would facilitate access to information, which would increase productivity. However, as aforementioned, there are also potential risks and challenges to consider. Generally, in terms of artificial intelligence, human employment will decline continuously as substitutes are present for human jobs. There certainly will be a risk of one’s privacy being compromised. Above all, to ensure that its impact on the future is positive, the vitality of usingChatGPT in a responsible and ethical manner is highlighted.
