OpenAI, an independent research body founded by the world's richest man Elon Musk along with Sam Altman, launched a chatbot, ChatGPT on Wednesday last week, and, in just a week, the service has peaked at over 1 million users.
The chatbot has taken the internet by storm. With human-like replies and prompt answers, this platform has made the internet curious.
A user can start by going to OpenAI's website, click on the Try ChatGPT button, and start using.
OpenAI has trained ChatGPT using a training method known as Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback OR RLHF. It uses a reward AND punishment system to train AI. So, whenever it takes an action, it is classified into two categories - desirable or punishable. The desired action is rewarded whereas an undesired one is punished. With this trial-and-error method, AI then learns what works and what wouldn't.
OpenAI has also used humans as trainers of this AI. It is through conversations that these trainers played both the roles of a user and of an AI assistant. But this training method can be a bit problematic, as it can often mislead the model.
An ideal answer would depend on what the model knows, rather than what the human demonstrator knows.. and this could be a limitation to this exciting new thing on the internet.
So, if a user asks a complex question or does not phrase the question well, then the bot can decline to answer. It will also decline to answer if it's not an appropriate question.
E-commerce company Meesho's cofounder Vidit Atrayee took to LinkedIn to sound off this warning that it was up until a few months ago everyone thought AI could only take repetitive jobs but with ChatGPT clearly, that's not the case. AI can come after creative jobs as well.
For now, ChatGPT is free to use for the research period only.
CEO Sam Altman has already hinted that the company will monetize the platform in the future. “We will have to monetize it somehow at some point; the compute costs are eye-watering", he said in a tweet when asked if the service will forever be free.
