You need to know about Open AI and chatGPT if you don’t already.

Roger Montti from Search Engine Journal says chatGPT  it may be the most important tool since modern search engines.

What are they and what do they do?

OpenAI is an artificial intelligence research laboratory consisting of the for-profit OpenAI LP and its parent company, the non-profit OpenAI Inc. The company is focused on developing and promoting friendly AI in a way that benefits everyone. One of their most notable product is GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) a language model trained on a massive amount of data and able to generate human-like text. ChatGPT is a variant of GPT model fine-tuned for conversational purpose.

Their website states, “We’ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. ChatGPT is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.”

I signed up for a free account at https://chat.openai.com/. Using conversational language to make requests, I typed, “Write an article about why you should hire leadership expert Mark Sanborn to speak to your group.” What follows was returned in less than 30 seconds and has not been edited in any way. See what you think:

I found the result and time to deliver astounding. The A.I. searched the archive of data points loaded up to 2021 (it is not connected to the live internet), found and synthesized information from a number of sources and then produced what you read above. This isn’t a cut and paste job; this is a unique respond to my simple request.

Imagine the implications for you and your business. Imagine the great implications for the world at large. College professors know students are using chatGPT to write papers, and according to my sources, the results pass the plagiarism test that software is designed to identify.

You might immediately wonder if your team is using it for nefarious reasons, or at least passing off the results as their own work. Well, it is their own work in that they learned to use a tool that could do a more thorough job in searching available information and summarizing it. A savvy user can use OpenAI and/or chatGPT to leverage their own thinking by casting their intellectual net more widely and produce information more quickly.

Tips for using this amazing technology:

To get the most out of ChatGPT, it’s important to provide clear and specific prompts, and to be mindful of the model’s limitations. 

• Be specific: The more specific your prompts, the more accurate the model’s responses will be.

• Use context: Provide context for the model by including relevant information or background in your prompts.

• Be mindful of the model’s limitations: ChatGPT is a machine learning model and can make errors or provide unexpected results. Be prepared to verify any information provided by the model.

• Use the API: With the OpenAI API you can access to the model via an API endpoint, this way you can use the model for your projects without the need of training your own version.

(Again, be aware of the knowledge cut-off date, the model was last trained on 2021 and may not have knowledge of events or information that have occurred after that date.)
