Artificial Intelligence & ChatGPT

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence by machines. AI works by ingesting large amounts of labeled training data, analyzing the data for correlations and patterns, and using these patterns to make predictions about the future.

AI is a rapidly developing field, and there are many exciting new applications that are being explored. As AI technology continues to improve, it is likely to have a major impact on the way we live and work.

Basic Terms

Generative AI

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence technology that can produce various types of content including text, imagery, and audio.  Generative AI models learn the patterns and structure of their input training data and then generate new data that has similar characteristics. Though the technology was first introduced in the 1960s in chatbots, only recently has the simplicity of new user interfaces opened the tools to everyday users. 

Large Language Models

Large Language Models use a neural network with billions of parameters trained on large quantities of text from the internet to deliver human-like language results.  Large language models demonstrate considerable general knowledge about the world and can "memorize" a great number of facts during training. 

OpenAI

OpenAI is a non-profit research organization dedicated to developing and applying artificial intelligence (AI) for the benefit of humanity as a whole.  Their code, also called OpenAI. is an open-source solution that developers can use to power tools for text, code, and image generation. 

ChatGPT

According to ChatGPT itself, it is a language model developed by OpenAIIt is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture, which is designed to generate human-like text based on the input it receives. GPT models are pre-trained on massive amounts of text data from the internet, allowing them to learn grammar, language structure, and even some level of common sense reasoning.

AI and Chatbots

AI and Chatbots are computer programs that use artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) to understand questions typed in by an end user and automate responses to them, simulating human conversation.
