Short Overview of ChatGPT

The record of accomplishment of chat programs that are powered by artificial intelligence (AI) has not been awe-inspiring up until this point. In November 2013, the Facebook group Meta hosted a game called Galactica, which lasted for three days. The language models quickly spiraled out of control, making statements that were either racist or meaningless. In 2016, Microsoft took the chatbot Tay offline just 24 hours after it was made available to the public.

But things are different with ChatGPT, which was developed by a startup company called OpenAI. Since November 30, 2022, users have been able to access it, and it continues to amaze them with texts and dialogues that could be human.

There are still issues to be resolved, such as answers that need to be more formulaic or contain incorrect or outdated information. However, it is easy to see how far we have come. Microsoft recently invested $10 billion in OpenAI and is integrating it into their products, such as Bing (search engine), Designer, and Office.

In 2015, San Francisco became the home of the Foundation that would later become OpenAI. Key investors included Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, and Sam Altman. The goal was to accomplish a single objective: the development of artificial intelligence that “benefits all of humanity.”
Elon Musk stepped down as CEO of Tesla in 2018 after the company he founded and ran created its artificial intelligence. One year later, a moment marked a turning point: the Foundation ran out of money due to the prohibitive cost of computing capacity and the specialists associated with it. Moreover, it was challenging to recruit experts to work for the Foundation; after all, companies like Google and Meta provide generous compensation packages in addition to stock options. As a result, a subsidiary that operates for its profit was established and given to Altman, the company’s founder. In addition to the employees of the Foundation receiving shares, Microsoft’s investment of $1 billion was made, and venture capitalists such as Khosla Venture and the Foundation that Hoffman established for LinkedIn were brought on board.

OpenAI is one of the most valuable startups, with a current valuation of $29 billion. To ensure that the participations are equitable to the structure of the Foundation, the regulations governing them are pretty complex. According to reports published in various US technology publications, Microsoft owns 49% of the company, while the other investors own the same percentage. The Foundation owns the final two percent of the share.

What exactly is the ChatGPT?
The “Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer” was made available by OpenAI at the tail end of November. The name of the tool comes from its full title. The chatbot was developed using a machine-learning model that can comprehend human input and respond in a way that sounds completely natural. The chatbot can compose poetry, summarize text, and even program. Large Language Models are what ChatGPT employs, specifically the Chat-3.5 model, which has been trained with vast amounts of data and is currently being used (LLM). To accomplish this, we used 175 billion different parameters and 800 gigabytes of storage space.

What are the inner workings of OpenAI’s ChatGPT?
The learning mechanism behind the model is known as reinforcement learning. The program can independently develop a strategy over several stages, with the development being controlled by “rewards.” This feedback monitored and provided by humans in the early stages, can be either positive or negative. Then, the program will optimize itself up to the highest level using a technique known as “Proximal Policy Optimization” (PPO).

The model can only be as accurate as the data it uses. For instance, if prejudices are based on race, the program will reproduce those biases. The developers of OpenAI utilized a “moderation filter” that has proven effective thus far to circumvent this issue.

What exactly can be accomplished with ChatGPT?
After registering, there is no cost associated with using ChatGPT for anyone. However, because there is so much interest in it, the website frequently crashes and becomes unusable. Anyone who is accepted into the program has the ability to produce writings that are eloquent, well-structured, and sound as though a journalist or a writer wrote them. It can comprehend sentences that contain up to 1500 words.

There is still a tremendous amount of potential. ChatGPT has the potential to revolutionize day-to-day work in a variety of different industries. Microsoft incorporates the AI tool into its Bing search engine, which would result in an entirely new mode of operation for the platform. After that, users will be able to conduct searches the same way as a human and receive complete answers rather than a list of links.
