OpenAl's large-language model, ChatGPT, has attracted 100 million monthly active users worldwide about two months after its launch, making it the fastest-growing consumer app in history. However, behind this success, ChatGPT is not only a breakthrough in a new generation of chatbots, but also brings great changes to the information industry. Its appearance symbolizes a revolutionary turning point in artificial intelligence and is likened by the industry to the iPhone moment in the era of artificial intelligence. In addition to understanding human problems and instructions and fluently engaging in multiple rounds of conversation, ChatGPT has shown the ability to solve a variety of general problems in more and more areas, such as writing poetry and programming in multiple languages, generating abstracts, automatically making data tables, and correcting grammatical and expression errors in articles.
Its success has sparked a new round of technology competition in the field of artificial intelligence. Microsoft, Google, a search engine, global tech giants such as Alibaba and JD.com have all begun to develop and integrate. ChatGPT is expected to evolve into a new generation of operating system platforms and ecosystems in the future. This change is similar to the mobile Internet, from personal computers to mobile phones, most of the computing load will be taken over by the new generation of information infrastructure with the big model as the core, which will affect all levels of application and infrastructure, triggering huge changes in the entire industrial structure.
However, with the advancement of technology and its widespread adoption, ChatGPT also faces challenges. It may produce factual errors, knowledge blind spots, and common sense bias, and also face general risks of artificial intelligence such as training data source compliance, bias in data use, and generating false information, copyright, and disputes.
In addition, ChatGPT has the ability to be applied to public opinion information warfare, which may occasionally generate incorrect information, produce harmful instructions or biased content. In the face of these challenges, the industry has expressed the need to develop technology while controlling the application boundaries of ChatGPT and establishing regulations for AI-generated content.
