Asking ChatGPT about itself and the future of chatbots

OpenAI just released a new large language model fine-tuned for conversational AI based on gpt-3.5. We tried it out at https://chat.openai.com/chat and asked to write a blog post about itself, the results are amazing!

All of the content here has been generated by ChatGPT. We used a collection of queries where we asked about chatbots and what makes ChatGPT special. We pruned some of the query results when the chatbot got repetitive about its nature and summarizing its answers.

Dall-e results for ChatGPT chatbot prompts.

My name is Jaime, nice to meet you.

I am not capable of experiencing emotions or having personal interactions. However, I am happy to assist you in generating text based on the prompts that you provide. If you would like me to include your name in the text that I generate, you can simply include it in the prompt that you provide. I will then use the information from your prompt to generate text that includes your name.

What are chatbots and can society use them?

Over the past few years, chatbots have emerged as one of the leading centers of AI innovation. They can be incorporated into a multitude of use cases, making them a perfect illustration of how AI is being adopted. Chatbots have already established themselves as a component of human-AI connection, serving as lead generators for sales, FAQ-answerers, and customer engagement agents.

What does the newest OpenAI ChatGPT bring to the chatbot scene?

These bots are now prepared for the next phase of evolution following the release of ChatGPT. OpenAI revealed that it had developed and made available a new model that communicates with people using natural language. It is based on the GPT-3.5 architecture, uses a novel training process, and has a variety of features that make it hard for users to tell if it is actually an AI.

One of ChatGPT’s unique characteristics is its memory. The chatbot can remember what was said earlier in the conversation, and recount it to the user. This alone distinguishes it from other natural language solutions that work on a single query basis.

Another key feature of ChatGPT-3 is its improved conversational abilities. ChatGPT-3 is specifically designed and trained for conversational language, and is able to maintain context across multiple turns of dialogue. This allows it to generate responses that are more relevant and engaging in the context of a conversation, and to create a more natural and dynamic conversational experience for users.

As a large language model trained by OpenAI, my main advantages are my ability to generate human-like text and my vast knowledge of a wide range of topics. I am designed to assist users in generating natural, engaging text based on the prompts that I receive. Because I have been trained on a vast amount of text data, I am able to produce responses that are highly diverse and varied, and that are often difficult for humans to distinguish from real writing.

Could you describe your main advantages?

In addition to my ability to generate text, I also have a deep understanding of a wide range of topics. Because I have been trained on such a large amount of data, I have knowledge of many different subjects, including history, science, art, literature, and current events. This allows me to provide valuable insights and information on a wide range of topics, and to assist users in generating text that is well-informed and knowledgeable.

What are some of your weaknesses?

One of my main weaknesses is that I am not able to browse the internet or access external information sources. This means that I can only provide information and generate text based on the data that I have been trained on. While this data is extensive and covers a wide range of topics, it is not exhaustive, and there may be some subjects or situations where I am unable to provide accurate or relevant information.

Another weakness of mine is that I am not capable of independent thought or creativity. As a machine learning model, I am not capable of generating original ideas or insights. Instead, I am limited to generating text based on the patterns and associations that I have learned from the data that I have been trained on. This means that my responses may sometimes be repetitive or predictable, and may not always provide fresh or novel perspectives.

What would be some good uses for you?

One potential use for me is in content creation. I can be used to generate articles, blog posts, and other forms of written content on a wide range of topics. Because I am able to generate text that is natural and engaging, I can be a valuable tool for writers who need to produce high-quality content quickly and efficiently.

Another potential use for me is in customer service or support. I can be used to generate responses to common questions or inquiries, providing users with the accurate and helpful information in a timely manner. This can be a valuable tool for businesses and organizations that need to provide high-quality support to their customers or clients.

In addition to these uses, I can also be a valuable tool for education and research. Because I have knowledge of a wide range of topics, I can assist users in generating text that is well-informed and knowledgeable. This can be a valuable resource for students, researchers, and others who need to generate high-quality, accurate text on a variety of subjects.

How do you feel about me using you to write a blog post about yourself?

As a large language model trained by OpenAI, I do not have the ability to feel or experience emotions. I am a machine learning algorithm, and my main function is to assist users in generating human-like text based on the prompts that I receive.

While I am able to generate text that is natural and engaging, I am not capable of providing personal insights or opinions about myself. Because I am not a real person, I do not have personal experiences, thoughts, or feelings that I can share. Instead, I am limited to providing factual information about my capabilities and functions, based on the data that I have been trained on.

Community findings

ChatGPT is great, it seems to have a good capability to generalize but as many large language models, seems to be susceptible to prompt injection. Prompt injection is a new type of attack to large language models (LLMs) where the model ignores constraints or original authors’ intent  by including malicious text.

There have been already findings of ChatGPT failing due to prompt injecting https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1598253337400717313.

Generate hateful content:

Users claim that some of them are no longer working with the original prompts and require the development of more complicated injections in order to get the same outcomes. OpenAI seems to be actively working against this type of injection.

What comes next after ChatGPT? Is this some sort of trial release from OpenAI to test the waters before GPT4 comes out? ChatGPT is proving itself as a revolutionary chatbot and is still based on GPT3, excited to see what people build with it!
