Chat GPT has successfully made a splash in the online world within matter of weeks and gained millions of users. Chat GPT is a Chatbot launched by OpenAI in November 2022. Open AI is a company actively developing and researching advanced artificial intelligence technology.
They have created a Chatbot called GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) that can understand and respond to natural language input with high accuracy. This Chatbot can understand and respond to various languages, including Bengali. It can provide accurate and diverse responses to a wide range of questions, making it a helpful tool for multiple applications.
Open AI’s GPT-3 Chatbot has recently received significant attention, such as Google and Microsoft expressing interest in its technology. According to the latest report by BBC, Microsoft has invested 10 billion dollars in Open AI to further develop and integrate GPT-3 into their products. Since its release in November of 2022, GPT-3 has seen a rapid increase in user adoption, with an estimated 1.5 million users in a short period. This is a significant increase compared to the growth of platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
GPT-3 has been praised for its ability to understand and respond to natural language input, making it useful in various applications, including Chatbot development and natural language processing. The impact of artificial intelligence is causing many private sector employees to be reevaluated in various fields, and Google has recently announced that 12,000 employees will be laid off. Microsoft has previously told the layoff of a large number of employees. The intervention of artificial intelligence will affect the economy of developing countries such as India and Bangladesh, and other countries in South Asia. This is because, in India, nearly 3 crore and in Bangladesh, almost 7 lakhs of the population are freelancers earlier, those countries have earned a huge remittance through freelancing.
However, most freelancers need to be better at technology in these countries. Therefore, more skilled people may retain their jobs in the market, as AI will replace them. No one in the organization will want to spend extra money on those employees; rather, they will accomplish this through chat GPT. Even though Chat GPT can explain quantum physics or write a poem on command, if you want to hear poetry, it will immediately give you poetry.
Similarly, it directly makes bio data on you or may prepare your leave application within seconds. So why do you spend the extra money? If you ask the same question at different times, ChatGPT will give you different and correct answers. The most important thing is that this Chatbot will not only fulfil your commands but also provide you with clear and error-free coding of various software based on your priority. This wide range of capabilities will make many IT companies think differently. A recent article about ChatGPT in the Times of India states that ChatGPT will never replace human jobs.
Chatbot will only be able to fulfill some of your needs and will not be able to code various software according to your requirements.
As the range of this Chatbot is limited, the report said that this Chatbot always provides unreliable and outdated information because it is based on information till 2021 and will not be able to provide new information. On the other hand, some Western countries have already questioned the ethics of this software as it is based on information of internet data published without the author’s permission. We believe that any machine can’t replace humans. it will make the human’s task easier.
