ChatGPT is like HTML for the internet age

We have recently done some development based on ChatGPT and would like to share some experiences.

ChatGPT is a language model, not a general artificial intelligence

ChatGPT, and GPT-3, are mainly a language model. In other words, he is like a 5-year-old child who speaks Chinese very well (of course English, French, German and other dozens of languages ​​are equally good), but he cannot be said to be intelligent.

The whole world knows what he is talking about, except himself.

The most basic principle is just like what I said: ​

The bright moon in front of the window__

What should be filled in that blank? I think most people have the word "light" in their minds. This is because all the articles we have seen in history give us the impression that as long as the "bright moon in front of the window" appears in the front, the possibility of "light" in the back is much higher than that of "bright", "bright", "fire", etc. Any Chinese character is higher than a comma or period, and I have never seen it followed by an exclamation mark. It can be said that ChatGPT is like a three-year-old child who follows the TV and likes to repeat "I love you like a mouse loves rice". The whole world knows what he is talking about, except himself.

ChatGPT is a liberal arts student who is extremely poor in mathematics

Although his language ability is first-rate, any problem that requires simple logic and modeling will stump him. An obvious example is that he is very poor at mathematics.

If you ask it what 1 1 is equal to, he can always answer accurately that it is equal to 2. Don’t think that he figured it out. He just saw too many multiplication tables and relied on his sense of language to say it.

If you ask him what is 1346 times 364, the calculation result he gives is different every time, sometimes it is 495504, sometimes it is 496644, sometimes it is 495884. The correct result is 489944, which is basically wrong. But from a regular point of view, the last digit and first of the multiplication it gives are generally correct, and there is not much difference in the number of digits. It can be seen here that he just read too many files and found that if a string ending in 6 plus multiplication plus a string ending in 4 are used as a sequence, a large proportion of the sequence of numbers ending in 4 will be That’s all.

So, ChatGPT is a liberal arts student who completely failed in science. Some people also commented in the group that ChatGPT is a child with a very high emotional intelligence and a very good eloquence. Unfortunately, he dropped out of junior high school.

It appears as a language model, not a general artificial intelligence. Even basic mathematics is beyond its capabilities, let alone reasoning.

But with the language model layer, it is much easier to develop other models on top, such as mathematics, logic and other models.

ChatGPT is more like HTML

Many people compare it to Google. But in fact, I think it is architecturally more like the HTML layer, or the View layer in the MVC (Model-View-Controller) system that everyone in the technology world is familiar with.

In the Internet era, it was a database, which used a dynamic language (PHP, or Python) to generate HTML as an interface with humans. In the era of mobile Internet, this presentation layer no longer uses HTML, but is drawn using frameworks such as SwiftUI. The capabilities provided by ChatGPT will allow future applications to still be database-driven, but through its language model, it will ensure that the output is customized content that is directly readable by humans. Architecturally, ChatGPT sits at the HTML level of the website.

So, ChatGPT looks very similar to a search engine, but in fact, it still lacks a layer of data provision from a real search engine. OpenAI will also continue to increase its data range, but I think this increase is more for optimizing the text model (that is, speaking Chinese more smoothly), rather than for the amount of data itself. Because, in the Internet world, content provision cannot solely rely on Google, but is provided by tens of millions of websites.

ChatGPT allows AI to finally have its Netscape Navigator moment

Many fields need a product to bring an extremely promising technology into the public eye. On November 28, 2022, the field of natural language processing finally ushered in this moment, we can call it the Navigator moment. Before Netscape launched the Navigator browser in 1994, the Internet basically required typing the command line through a terminal, and entering commands using ftp, telnet, mail and other software. Users needed to be at least proficient in typing, and there were very few users. Netscape Navigator, the first commercial browser, allows people to directly see the graphical page, and then just use the mouse to click endlessly along the blue underlined links. Suddenly the Internet entered thousands of households in just 10 years. From the perspective of chronological history, perhaps the biggest watershed in the Internet is the pre-browser era and the post-browser era. ChatGPT has finally pushed the level of human-computer interaction to a level that most people can use. It has to be said that it is a technology and company with great potential.
