Not everything we call AI is actually ‘artificial intelligence’

Subject : Science and Technology

Generative AI:

Generative AI refers to unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning algorithms that enable computers to use existing content like text, audio and video files, images, and even code to create new possible content. The main idea is to generate completely original artefacts that would look like the real deal.
We just typed a few words prompts and the program generated the pic representing those words. This is something known as text-to-image translation and it’s one of many examples of what generative AI models do.

Generative Adversarial Networks or GANs:

technologies that can create visual and multimedia artefacts from both imagery and textual input data.
Text-to-image tools, such as Stable Diffusion, DALLE-2 and Mid journey, use image-text pairs from data sets such as LAION-5B.

Transformer-based models::

technologies such as Generative Pre-Trained (GPT) language models that can use information gathered on the Internet to create textual content from website articles to press releases to whitepapers. Example: ChatGPT, LaMDA by Google.

Concerns with Generative AI:

Generative AI has also produced worries about plagiarism, exploitation of original content used to create models, ethics of information manipulation and abuse of trust and even “the end of programming”.

What is ChatGPT?

Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT), is a chatbot developed by OpenAI.
ChatGPT is built on top of OpenAI’s GPT-3.5 family of large language models and is fine-tuned with both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.
ChatGPT can answer follow-up questions, and can also admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.
Currently, it is open in beta to all users.
ChatGPT has been trained to decline ‘inappropriate’ requests, presumably those which are ‘illegal’ in nature.
ChatGPT is capable of writing fiction but not at the level of humans.
Other chatbots include Google-led LaMDA.
- LaMDA, which stands for Language Model for Dialogue Applications, is a family of conversational neural language models developed by Google.
