According to the news on January 30, during the two months since its launch, AI chat robot ChatGPT has brought a lot of topics to the industry.

ChatGPT chats fluently, can write fluent articles, generate effective computer code, solve humanities and arts problems, translate texts, and even pass postgraduate law exams and business management exams in well-known universities.

Free and easy to use ChatGPT successfully broke out of the AI circle and entered the eyes of the general public.

How amazing is ChatGPT? On November 30 last year, artificial intelligence company OpenAI released the chat robot ChatGPT. Unlike OpenAI's previous products, this time ChatGPT has adopted an open-source, fee-free model.

Free and easy to use, ChatGPT gathered more than 1 million users in less than a week, and the speed of its circle of fans shocked the entire AI industry.

The fire of ChatGPT made OpenAI's ability to absorb money soar.

Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI in 2019 in exchange for an exclusive license for OpenAI technology. Now OpenAI's valuation has soared to $29 billion.

The popularity of ChatGPT around the world has also shocked Google, the leader of the AI world.

Less than a month after the launch of ChatGPT, Google CEO Sundar Pichai issued a "Code Red" within the company and said it would overhaul Google's work in AI in 2023 around ChatGPT.

Even more exaggerated is the "blessing" ability of ChatGPT.

Just days after US headline company BuzzFeed announced plans to use ChatGPT creator OpenAI to generate and personalize some of its content and enhance its experience, its tepid share price nearly tripled in two days.

Behind the information that there is no breakthrough in technology, what is the level of AIGC (AI generated content) technology represented by ChatGPT?

According to the official website of OpenAI, ChatGPT is based on the GPT-3.5 pre-training model, which uses the training method of "using human feedback reinforcement learning (RLHF)", including: human question machine answer, machine question human answer, continuous iteration, so that the model has the ability to judge the generated answer.

Compared with the GPT-3 model, the main improvements of ChatGPT include: being able to remember previous conversations, realizing continuous conversations, being more in line with real human conversations, admitting mistakes, and rejecting inappropriate requests; new training increases the ability of code understanding and generation, and ChatGPT has basic knowledge related to programming.

Reviewing the technical route of OpenAI, since 2018, OpenAI has released a series of Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) pre-training language models.

The parameters of GPT-1 (released in 2018), GPT-2 (released in 2019) and GPT-3 (released in 2020) reached 117 million, 1.5 billion and 175 billion respectively. Since then, OpenAI has invested a lot of effort to enhance GPT-3 through code training and instruction fine-tuning. ChatGPT is considered to be based on a fine-tuned version of GPT-3, or GPT-3.5.

The so-called layman watches the hustle and bustle, the expert watches the way.

To the bigwigs of AI technology, ChatGPT is nothing new. Google, Meta, DeepMind, domestic Baidu and other companies have launched similar technology level of "chat robot" services.

Yann LeCun, chief scientist of Meta and winner of the Turing Award, believes that ChatGPT is not a great innovation in terms of underlying technology. Although it is revolutionary in the eyes of the public, it is just a well-designed and well-assembled product.

In Yann LeCun's view, the Transformer architecture used by ChatGPT is pre-trained in a self-supervised manner, self-supervised learning can be traced back to before the advent of OpenAI, and Transformer is the invention of Google, which is the basis of large language models such as GPT-3. ChatGPT uses human feedback reinforcement learning (RLHF) technology, which was also pioneered by Google DeepMind Labs.

Speaking of ChatGPT, Wu Hua, chairman of Baidu's technical committee, agreed that "ChatGPT is not a subversive innovation in technology", but Wu Hua said, "it is an innovation in the way we interact."

Wu Hua believes that in the way of presentation, ChatGPT makes it easier for users to interact and can interact in a natural language way, which has a "revolutionary" understanding for everyone. ChatGPT's innovative model of user interface and interaction "has implications for us, too."

In fact, for a new technology application, innovation in the way it interacts with the user community can also bring a leading advantage. This has been verified in the field of software and hardware products. In the field of hardware, from keystrokes to touch, and then to voice control, every step of the innovation in the form of interaction has spawned a new competitive landscape in the industry. This is especially true in the field of software, where a better interactive experience can easily win the favor of users.

Now, for domestic users, there are still many restrictions on the use of ChatGPT.

Domestic large science and technology companies have been immersed in the research and development of AIGC technology for many years. With the east wind of ChatGPT, it is time to step up efforts to study how to make AIGC technology fly into the homes of ordinary people and let ordinary users use it.

"ChatGPT+" opens the door to imagination, the explosion of ChatGPT, so that ordinary people feel the convenience brought by AI, the industry derived from the "ChatGPT+" effect.

Microsoft CEO Nadella revealed that he plans to integrate artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT and DALL-E into Microsoft's products, including Bing search engine, Office family bucket (including Word, PPT, Excel, etc.), Azure cloud service, Teams chat program and so on.

An unnamed employee revealed that a small working group of Amazon Cloud Technology began testing ChatGPT's performance on customer support issues and found that it was "doing very well" and was "excellent" in writing troubleshooting guides for database engineers.

There are also users who use ChatGPT + Stable Diffusion (AI graphic tool) in combination. That is to say, ChatGPT is required to generate random art prompt, and then prompt is used as the input of Stable Diffusion to generate a highly artistic painting.

Some people also put forward "ChatGPT+WebGPT". WebGPT is a high-level version of the web crawler, which extracts information from the Internet to answer questions and provides corresponding sources. The resulting information produced by "ChatGPT+WebGPT" can be updated in real time, making it more accurate to judge whether the facts are true or false.

In response to ChatGPT's collapsing performance in solving math problems, Stephen Wolfram, a computer scientist and father of the Wolfram language, wrote that he is combining ChatGPT with his own Wolfram | Alpha knowledge engine, because the latter has strong structured computing power and can complement each other perfectly.

The essence of these "ChatGPT+" effects is that the AI industry has been shouting "AI enabling" for so many years.

It is undoubtedly worth looking forward to what new ways and experiences "ChatGPT+" can bring to existing products and services. The success of ChatGPT also provides a reference for more enterprises in exploring the commercial landing of AIGC.

Excitement and wait-and-see although ChatGPT excites people in the AI technology community, academia is wary of ChatGPT.

ChatGPT is free and easy to use, and can generate original text on almost any topic based on simple tips, raising academic concerns about plagiarism and that ChatGPT will help students cheat in exams.

Such concerns are not unnecessary.

A recent survey of 1000 students over the age of 18 conducted by Study.com showed that 48 per cent of students completed quizzes with ChatGPT and 53 per cent wrote papers with ChatGPT. Young people are accepting new technology much faster than they can imagine.

Recently, the Paris Institute of political Science announced a ban on the use of ChatGPT because ChatGPT can generate coherent articles or papers to prevent student fraud and plagiarism.

Earlier, the Stack Overflow of the world's second-largest programmer dating site officially banned users from directly generating "spam answers" using ChatGPT, otherwise it was blocked.

Baidu founder Robin Li said that AIGC may subvert the existing content production model and generate AI original content at a cost of 1/10 and a production speed of a hundredfold.

Microsoft CEO Nadella said that the current AI will trigger an industry-wide "platform shift", just as it has shifted to mobile devices and cloud computing platforms over the past 15 years.

When every new technology enters people's lives, it is always accompanied by excitement and doubt. Then let the ChatGPT fly a little longer!
