Welcome to Advisorator’s Tip of the Week, helping you learn something new from the tech world every Tuesday.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been trying to think of an approachable way to cover ChatGPT<\/strong>, the conversational AI tool that’s become one of the biggest stories in tech<\/a>. Ultimately, my recommendation is that you just try it yourself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyone can create a login on the ChatGPT website<\/a>, type in a question or a writing prompt, and get a written response that’s shockingly, perhaps frighteningly human. The site also understands follow-up questions based on the context of the previous discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, try asking the following three questions in order and see what comes out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Write an intro to a college essay on the long-term effects of globalization.<\/em>
– That’s a little too academic-sounding. Can you rewrite in a more casual way?<\/em>
– Great, now rewrite it again in the form of a poem.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(You can also click the image atop this section for the gripping and 100% true tale of a certain tech journalist’s meteoric rise and scandal-plagued downfall.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much has already been written about ChatGPT’s flaws, most notably its weak safeguards against racism<\/a> and its tendency to lie with confidence<\/a>. As an AI modeled after the human brain and trained on large amounts of text, it has a knack for understanding and reproducing natural language, but it’s not plugged into the broader internet and has no way to verify the accuracy of what it’s saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, people have already found some utility<\/a> in its writing chops<\/a>, and its ability to understand complex questions feels like a potential breakthrough in how we might someday interact with computers. Playing around with it is a worthy endeavor if only to get a sense of what’s coming\u2014for better and for worse.<\/p>\n\n\n
