With no sign of AI development slowing down, the problems with ChatGPT are even more important to understand.
With ChatGPT set to change our future, here are some of the biggest issues.
What Is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a large language model designed to produce natural human language.
Writing about your financial details or confidential workplace information comes with a risk.
In addition, leaving your data in the safety of OpenAI has proved to be a problem.
As reported byReuters, ChatGPT had 100 million monthly active users in January 2023 alone.
The watchdog organization suspected that European privacy regulations were being breached.
After investigating the issue, it requested that OpenAI meet several demands to reinstate the chatbot.
OpenAI eventually resolved the issue with regulators by making several significant changes.
These changes are a great start, but the improvements should be extended to all ChatGPT users.
OpenAI likely scooped up personal information when it first trained ChatGPT.
At the same time,Getty Images has sued Stability.AIfor using copyrighted images to train its AI models.
As people across social media will attest, ChatGPT can get it wrong multiple times.
OpenAIknows about this limitation, writing that: “ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible-sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers.”
In March 2023, ChatGPT was hooked up to the internet but quickly disconnected again.
When asked to describe the picture in a URL, it should admit it can’t complete the request.
Unfortunately, this means that the same biases in the real world can also appear in the model.
However, it was purposely kept behind closed doors because of similar safety concerns.
Among theapps that have integrated GPT-4are Duolingo and Khan Academy.
The former is a language learning app, while the latter is a diverse educational learning tool.
Or as an AI tutor that can give you tailored feedback on your learning.
This could be just the beginning of AI holding human jobs.
The types ofjobs most at risk of from AIinclude graphic design, writing, and accounting.
A huge cross-section of human jobs are seeing AI filtering into the workplace.
Sadly, doing whatever you like has led to hackers ramping up online scams.
Soon after ChatGPT was released, users flooded the site with answers they asked ChatGPT to generate.
Not to mention, many of the answers were incorrect.
To avoid the website being damaged, a ban was placed on all answers generated using ChatGPT.
The spread of fake information is a serious concern, too.
It’s a critical combination that amplifiesthe dangers of deepfake technology.
Despite experts warning of the dangers posed by AI, OpenAI isn’t showing signs of slowing down.
Threats to jobs and the potential to disrupt education are a few more problems that are piling up.
ChatGPT has produced its fair share of challenges for us to deal with in the present.
