ChatGPT Explained - The AI revolution is happening right now... [ chat gpt ]

Key Takeaways

a number of tech firms are working on the future of chat Bots an AI platform trained to engage in conversation and one in particular has gone viral practitioners are surprised by how quickly these modern systems are developing and some of them are starting to think we may have systems as smart as humans in as little as 10 years chargpt could wipe out his job too literally my line of work you know apps design work your product design work well seven years ago Sam Altman Elon Musk and others pooled more than a billion dollars to research AI that benefits humanity and then three years ago Microsoft threw in another billion talking about AI I realized like oh well this is a genie that once it's out of the bottle you're never getting it back in that's true so for as long as I can remember AI was always just around the corner the future was supposed to have all these robots that took over all the menial tasks replaced all manual labor and allowed us to sit back and do the important knowledge work that only humans could do but in reality it seems that artificial intelligence is better at replacing our knowledge work than our physical labor openai is a company that created Dolly an AI image generator just type in any prompt and it will create it and more recently openai released chat gbt an AI chat bot here's what Elon Musk said after a few days of using it Chad GPT is scary good we are are not far from dangerously strong AI so what can it do well this is where it gets a little bit weird you can ask it any question and it will explain it you can ask it to explain it to you like you're five years old to break it down simply you can ask it to explain it to you using a certain style of speaking like a surfer or a cowboy in an old western you can have it write essays legal contracts sales emails song lyrics you can have it translate languages you can ask it to summarize books or videos or podcasts and two bullet points it can write a cover letter and a resume for you in 30 seconds flat it can create song and lyrics in any musical style or it can imitate any artist you want to name it can help you debug code and it could also just write code for you by typing in a prompt it can help you create simple scripts that you can use to create plugins apps and automate the things you do on the web all this without you needing any technical knowledge to do it I asked the chat GPT to write a thousand word script for a documentary about the power of Chad gbt with some specific bullet points I wanted to mention and It produced it flawlessly including having parts for the narrator of voice over as well as some people that are being interviewed about how they use a chat gbt now we had software that could file your commands or some prompts for for a long time Google Assistant Alexa as well as some new home devices however for the most part those were pre-written commands if you ask Google for the weather it triggers a function that was written by a human being that handles that request this new breed of AI is a little bit different it draws on its knowledge to answer questions the answers are its own in the sense that the people who designed it don't necessarily even know what it's going to say when you sign up they warn you a number of times we don't know what this thing is going to say don't blame us it learns from the massive amounts of data on the internet and with time and feedback it gets better and better whatever you can do now it's just the starting point and its exponential learning curve and people are noticing fast Netflix took 41 months to reach 1 million users Facebook it took 10 months for Instagram to reach a million users it took two and a half months chat GPT reached a million users in five days that's a record there's a massive amount of people using it every day and the numbers growing rapidly the reason this is important is because the AI learns through human reinforcement each time somebody asks it a question or prompts it somehow the AI is rewarded for giving satisfactory answers over time and with millions and millions of people asking millions and millions of questions this AI keeps getting better and better here's some ways in which Chad GPT will completely change the world some of these applications are already live and some are being rapidly developed keep in mind this software has been only available to the public for a bit over a month at this point one is legal work and negotiations already people are using Chad GPT to create legal forms contracts terms of service for their websites people have used it successfully to negotiate getting out of parking tickets lowering their cable bills and sending scary sounding legal emails a company called do not pay is already using the stack to help people cancel subscriptions reverse fees and also help people Sue companies that engage in predatory practices two education and mentoring education will be completely flipped upside down with this first you can write any paper essay whatever you can get answers to your homework assignments in seconds this AI has been tested on its ability to pass certain Advanced exams in various fields and it's capable of passing more of them than it should be able to on the flip side it provides incredible tutoring potential especially for kids and students that either have special learning needs or simply don't have the resources to go to school Chad GPT can create coursework lectures for the students to read and then answer any questions they have or explain any hard to grasp Concepts it will go at whatever speed the student needs to learn at you won't get bored if it goes too slow and it will slow down and keep explaining a subject for you for whatever amount of time you wanted to right now it's free but it will likely have some fee later in the future but the cost to provide this AI to let's say a learning institution will be negligible any kid with a laptop and internet connection anywhere in the world can have a world-class tutor helping them again keep in mind this is out of the box so to speak let people train this AI for this specific task for a few years and it's going to be infinitely better already we have technology that can create speech from text we also have video that is generated with AI so if it's better for students to see see a human likeness teaching them we have that technology number three is business this is where it gets really interesting but also kind of scary because of the the sheer amount of people and businesses that it will make obsolete chat Bots can interact with your customers one-on-one helping them to select the right product answering their questions and pushing them to complete the sale on your web store they can follow up with them to make sure they receive the package and ask for reviews they can write all the content for emails and social media all the product descriptions Etc AI automation Consultants will be a very in demand industry for e-commerce owners for coding right now the AI can spit out real working code with just a prompt now it's not the same as coding up complex software all on its own but this gives the ability for anyone regardless of tech background to start coding simple scripts this AI can also help explain exactly what each piece of code does and what steps you would need to take to make that into a chrome plug-in for example this allows millions of people to start coding start learning for free in their spare time they're able to do it without attending college without paying for classes or having to schedule meetings with tutors if you hate getting those email opt-ins and pop-ups on websites you can take five minutes right now and create a plugin that will eliminate them you will have learned a new skill and also stopped a lot of frustration this alone can take our coding literacy from only a few percentage of people to a large portion of the population five any creative medium we we tend to think of people who create art and graphics and movies as being the creatives they are the people with the natural talent for being creative having a vision Etc a different way of thinking about this is that they are Adept at using whatever medium they produce their art in a person who paints beautifully spent a lot of time and effort to learn how to do that a movie director spent a lot of time working with cameras movie sets Etc but what percent of that is creativity versus just technical ability if everyone had the same exceptional technical ability to create images and graphic design anything they could explain well enough to a computer that would allow anyone to create whatever art or visual medium that they want to regardless of skill Chad GPT is also a potential death threat to Google here's an excerpt from The New York Times although Chad GPT still has plenty of room for improvement its release led to Google's management to declare a code red for Google this was akin to pulling the fire alarm some fear that the company may be approaching a moment that the biggest Silicon Valley outfits dread the arrival of an enormous technological change that could upend the business for more than 20 years the Google search engine has served as the world's primary gateway to the internet but with a new kind of chatbot technology poised to reinvent or even replace traditional search engines Google could face the first serious threat to its main search engine business one Google executive described the effort as make or break for Google's future and I gotta say I kind of agree as Chad gbt to calculate my daily calorie needs to lose weight I gave it my age height Etc it did that calculation while explaining very simply how that calculation was made what the rationale behind it was then I asked for a meal plan based on these calories as well as a shopping list and some recipes it did all that in seconds with no ads no pop-ups I didn't have to read some fluffed up article about Fitness and losing weight and whatnot it was just the info that I needed and nothing else and it was specific to me it was customized to me as I was making notes for this video I found myself and this happened repeatedly I would open a new Google search tab stop myself and then go to chatgpt and ask it the questions I had intended to search each time I would say challenge GPT served a much better experience than Google did out of the box this experience is infinitely better now it's important to understand that a lot of this these use cases that I'm talking about will be minor compared to how this technology will fundamentally change our society as you may know we recently had a breakthrough in Fusion Energy which could mean cheap abundant safe energy now energy and computational power are the potential limiting factors for the growth of AI if we have ai energy and supercomputers there are a lot of solutions that can be had if we just point it at the right problem for example with genomics and genetic engineering we know it's theoretically possible to fix a lot of the health issues we have by modifying our genetic code we can also design bacteria that can eat stuff that we don't like like waste Plastics and we can make it produce things that we need like biofuels generic companies like Lumina are already using AI to have breakthroughs in the field the potential is so big that the founder of openai refuses to make any long-term predictions because he says it's impossible to predict the exponential growth we are about to experience but he is saying that you should be paying attention here's his recommendation and so if someone kind of going back now to the one of the first questions I asked if you're a student or founder today if you could just if you were to point them in a single direction for how to prepare for this world would you say go work for company like open AI would it be um just start doing some AI research or just start anything in the field like start building come to open AI whatever you just like get like don't don't miss out on this one like just yeah speed no yeah yep makes makes a total sense if this stuff interests you click subscribe I think we're about to see some incredible change occurring in a very short time period I plan to be building businesses and Solutions in this field and contributing in whatever way I can but whether you choose to dive in or you just want to stay informed and not get left behind stick with me the biggest mistakes I've made in the past with regards to business and investing was to not go all in on a new tech that I knew in my gut was going to be big and I'm not going to make that mistake again and this feels like the biggest thing there ever was potentially my name is Wes raw thank you for watching
