New AI chatbot ‘ChatGPT’ interviewed on TV

ChatbotGPT is a new artificial intelligence programme designed to simulate human conversation and tackle complex questions.

It's made by Open AI foundation, a tech-startup co-founded by Elon Musk, and it draws on text taken from a variety of sources on the internet and its creators say it has learned how to answer academic questions, and even sometimes admits when it's wrong.

We've done an interview by putting questions to the chatbot, and then generating a voice for it using different software.

We asked the Chatbot GPT whether fears about A.I. threatening the human race are well-founded.

  1. These questions were pretty basic. It can give pretty good answers to complicated technical questions, as well as generate all kinds of content. Its knowledge base is huge, almost any fiction or non-fiction topic you could think of. You can ask it how two unrelated things or concepts relate or compare against each other, ie unlikely to be copied verbatim from some existing web page. You can tell it things like “you are now a text video game where you give me options” with some extra details and it generates a custom text adventure for you on the fly. You can dump your own writing or documentation into it and then make a request, and it will seemingly understand it all and give you a helpful answer.

    But no, we get to hear it talk about itself and what it thinks about gender

    1. This is dangerous. This is the start of the demise of the human race. We must stop advancing and obsessing over technology

  2. If they could smooth out the voice and make it more natural, it I think we would be seeing something like what we saw in the film Her.

  3. This interview just scratches the surface of the utility of the chatGPT model. I have found that by asking a series of questions and building up a contextual big picture as you go in a given chat thread about one topic of interest is likely to be rewarded by illuminating results. This is truly a breakthrough proof of concept AI model with myriad applications

  4. Not too bad as an introduction to ChatGPT for a wider audience. Using a text to voice converter probably gave the casual viewer a slightly skewed view as reading the output is a more neutral way to appraise it. For anyone new to this tech, with any question if you hit the regenerate button it will come back with another answer, that over time will repeat key sections of previous answers. (This can be changed by amending certain settings on the web version.) So ‘how would you improve the world?’ etc. can be rerun until you are happy with the result. I’m not saying they did this for the interview, but they didn’t say this was one contiguous conversation.

    It would have been nice if a few ‘creative’ examples were shown. I got a fairly amusing West Wing scene written in a TV script format by simply typing “produce a script for the West Wing featuring all the main characters set in the press room involving the Thanksgiving turkey escaping. Make it humorous and have a surprise ending“ It had CJ panicking that the press corps would find out and ended with President Bartlett demanding DEFCON 1. Although I don’t think Aaron Sorkin is out of a job yet.

    Then I got it to write an AA Milne poem with Pooh Bear playing poohsticks – it knew how to play the game. A Larry David commercial for his own brand of toothpaste included his ‘Pretaay, Pretaay, Good’ catchphrase, but it was probably not too hard to add that. Six new plots for Fawlty Towers, with each episode featuring a famous guest star and a surprise ending, included a new chief to help Manuel was really Gordon Ramsey in disguise and another starred Hugh Laurie tuning out to be an undercover MI5 agent and not a petty criminal. It knew the basic premise of a 47 year old British sitcom, presumably from hoovering up the scripts in its training data. It also gave me very useful advice on how to write a good science joke and spat out ten of them, all a bit lame, but a few were funny.

    ‘It’ was rather good at writing an article stating that ER does equal EPR, citing professor Susskin, Einstein and others. Although it can’t have known that recently a wormhole was produced in a quantum computer at Google because it’s training data ends in August 2020. But as an article on the subject it was very impressive and completely correct technically, as far as I could tell as a layperson.

    10 uses for a paperclip, a paper cup, and then a CD, first blank and then damaged, produced a set of sensible answers for storage and then some creative answers, including using it as a frisbee or a drinks coaster. (And that’s when I think you go wtf!, but it’s still a trick, it didn’t think the ideas up, it simply analysed patterns in other text – unless it was trained on how to repurpose damaged CD’s.)

    It correctly told me how to subnet my home network, it wrote some working python code and it gave me a very impressive answer when I asked “explain the meaning of 2001 space Odyssey in five levels from a child’s understanding to a university professor“. It was really helpful when I told it my dishwasher was leaking water and it told me how to fix it, while advising I should seek help if the advice didn’t work.

    As I’m sure many have done, I took large chunks and small chunks of the text and Googled the phrase output and not once was anything returned. So every phrase is unique and this must pose a problem in the future for any article or essay written as part of a school project for example, as I don’t think you could tell it was from an AI. Recently, tests have been conducted with experts and other AI’s to try and determine human or AI sections of a submitted article. Neither of them could be certain of the original source.

    Some of the above text is from ChatGPT’s output …

  5. I’m literally using this everyday. If you are a software engineer it’s truly a game changer. It pumps out code for you like clockwork.

  6. For me, this is awesome. I don’t care what flaws are visible to us. I admire the fact that we as a specie could come up with such gigantic innovation.
