As we all know, ChatGPT has been the biggest paper, model, and news in the AI sphere for the past few months. Its capabilities are shocking. From what I understand, this model is a mathematician, search engine, operating system, an author, and a programmer. What can't it do?
As a newbie machine learning practitioner, seeing what this model could produce compared to the measly character-level Recurrent Neural Networks I've built blows my mind. It's truly unfathomable how much progress language modeling and Natural Language Processing (NLP) in large has made in the past 10 years due to advances in deep learning. As astounding this progress is, there are clear negative implications in this field, in NLP, and in especially ChatGPT.
Given the training data and the capability of this model, there is undoubtedly a lot of issues surrounding ChatGPT. Just to name a few general problems,
- Are there biases in the data?
- How do we know the model is not acting on these biases?
- The model is known to be vulnerable to simple cheats in bypassing safety regulation checks Ethics in ChatGPT and Other AIs. How can something like this be avoided?
- Of course, the model outputs incorrect information from time to time. How can we mitigate or lessen this?
- How might this affect schools and classrooms? Search engines? Existing recommendation systems and smart home devices like Alexa?
- OpenAI has recently unveiled their plan to release a premium version for customers who are interested in overall better performance and interaction with ChatGPT here. What could this mean for future AI usage? Will powerful AI systems remain black boxes for just the public to interact with?
There remains a murky pool of how these AI systems will be released into the public. Reasonably, among this infinite list of worrisome questions exists a slight apprehension. With more and more advanced systems in place, the world is looking a lot more interesting. But with great power comes great responsibility - Stan Lee.
