Move over Shakespeare, here comes ChartGPT. New storyteller and apparently, pretty good BS’er.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Rebecca Heilweil<\/a> <\/em>– A few weeks ago, Wharton professor Ethan Mollick told his MBA students to play around with GPT<\/a>, an artificial intelligence <\/strong>model, and see if the technology could write an essay based on one of the topics discussed in his course. The assignment was, admittedly, mostly a gimmick meant to illustrate the power of the technology. Still, the algorithmically generated essays \u2014 although not perfect and a tad over-reliant on the passive voice \u2014 were at least reasonable, Mollick recalled. They also passed another critical test: a screening by Turnitin, a popular anti-plagiarism software. AI<\/strong>, it seems, had suddenly gotten pretty good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It certainly feels that way right now. Over the past week or so, screenshots of conversations with ChatGPT, the newest iteration of the AI<\/strong> model developed<\/a> by the research firm OpenAI, have gone viral on social media. People have directed the tool, which is freely available online, to make jokes, write TV episodes, compose music, and even debug computer code \u2014 all things I got the AI<\/strong> to do, too. More than a million people<\/a> have now played around with the AI<\/strong>, and even though it doesn\u2019t always tell the truth or make sense, it\u2019s still a pretty good writer and an even more confident bullshitter. Along with the recent updates to DALL-E<\/a>, OpenAI\u2019s art-generation software, and Lensa AI, a controversial<\/a> platform<\/a> that can produce digital portraits with the help of machine learning, GPT is a stark wakeup call that artificial intelligence is starting to rival human ability, at least for some things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think that things have changed very dramatically,\u201d Mollick told Recode. \u201cAnd I think it\u2019s just a matter of time for people to notice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re not convinced, you can try it yourself here<\/a>. The system works like any online chatbot, and you can simply type out and submit any question or prompt you want the AI to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does GPT even work? At its core, the technology is based on a type of artificial intelligence called a language model, a prediction system that essentially guesses what it should write, based on previous texts it has processed. GPT was built by training its AI with an extraordinarily large amount of data, much of which comes from the vast supply of data on the internet, along with billions of dollars, including initial funding<\/a> from several prominent tech billionaires, including Reid Hoffman and Peter Thiel. ChatGPT was also trained on examples of back-and-forth human conversation, which helps it make its dialogue sound a lot more human, as a blog post<\/a> published by OpenAI explains.
