What is Artificial Intelligence...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science dedicated to developing systems capable of performing tasks typically associated with human intelligence. These systems are designed and trained to learn, reason, make decisions and solve problems autonomously, based on large amounts of data and very complex algorithms.
AI encompasses a variety of techniques, including Machine Learning, Deep Learning, natural language processing, computer vision and robotics. Its main goal is to enable machines to reproduce human functions, such as recognizing patterns, understanding language and interacting with the environment. As such, this technology is used for a variety of purposes, from virtual assistants to autonomous vehicles and medical diagnostics.
...and how does it relate to Chat GPT?
Closely related to AI, Chat GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) is a language model based on Machine and Deep Learning, which was developed by OpenAI, a start-up founded by Elon Musk in 2015.
These models have the ability to assimilate impressive amounts of information, which are then used to generate statistically probable answers. They are often considered to be the first step towards general artificial intelligence, capable of performing actions that usually involve human intelligence, such as:
· Interpreting information
· Answering questions
· Creating original texts and images
· Solving mathematical or logical problems
· Translating texts
· Creating and correcting programming code
· Participating in conversations
How does one use GPT Chat?
The Chat GPT command prompt is a text interface that allows you to interact with the language model using written commands. Here, users can ask questions, request information, and make specific requests in a direct and interactive way.
However, to make the most of this tool, it is essential to be careful when using it, following the "13 principles for proper interaction with Chat GPT":
1. Choose the role (and the area in question) to be adopted by Chat GPT
2. Specify the desired tone
3. Define the intended format
4. Clearly express the objective
5. Indicate the target audience
6. Establish limitations
7. Validate mutual understanding of the content (i.e. by the user and by Chat GPT)
8. Request perspectives according to need
9. Provide historical information, if applicable
10. List relevant keywords or phrases
11. Specify technical terms to include or avoid
12. Make clear what you don't want
13. Give examples of structure and context styles
Despite being a great resource, using Chat GPT requires constant critical thinking and the validation of obtained information. This is because its answers always reflect a specific point of view, and can also be ambiguous or out of date since the tool has only been trained with data up to 2021. Furthermore, it is still a machine which is subject to flaws, preconceptions, and other problems.
It is important to recognize that these models are no substitute for human thinking. Unlike us, they are not creative, they cannot discern between the possible and the impossible, let alone assess what is morally acceptable. Above all, this is what separates us from machines!
