MWhat is programming
The company has set up an online demo and people are raving about it.
In short, ChatGPT is a chatbot that can "answer follow-up questions, admit mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests."
This pretty much sums up why ChatGPT is so special: "admit", "dispute" and "reject" are unusual verbs to describe LM behavior. However, this is not an exaggeration in the case of ChatGPT (countless examples that I will share soon confirm this).
ChatGPT is, by far, the best chatbot in the world. He can write essays and poetry. It can find great subjects for AI art models. He can play roles. He can write code, find a bug, explain it, fix it, and explain the solution. And he can combine ideas in the weirdest ways

The higher capabilities of the model and its better alignment compared to, for example, the base model GPT-3, make it look more human. In turn, this makes him more believable - though that doesn't necessarily imply that he's more reliable, and therefore trustworthy.
Like all other LMs (e.g. GPTs, Galactica, LaMDA), it makes things up, can generate hurtful completions, and produce misinformation. None of these deficiencies have changed significantly (ChatGPT is better but it's built from the same principles).

But that's not my goal today. I won't bore you with another warning about why we shouldn't trust these models or with an article on critical thinking.
In this article, I'll share with you a compilation of the most interesting results and implications that people have learned from ChatGPT (with my comments, of course).
And, to top it off, I'll take you on a trip. I want to explore a hypothesis: what if AI models became so good at hiding imperfections that we could no longer find faults or shortcomings in them?

The wild implications of ChatGPT
In case you haven't been checking Twitter lately, people have spent the last two days talking about ChatGPT nonstop. I will review their results and conclusions. Once you see what I'm about to show you, you'll understand why the above assumption isn't so crazy after all.
essays are dead
I agree 100% that essays, as a form of assessment, will soon be dead. I have written about this before and how neither teachers nor the education system are ready for this. With ChatGPT, this is now a generally accepted statement:
