Podcast Transcript: How Suitable is ChatGPT for Businesses? | ITPro
Welcome to the IT Pro podcast, where we discuss the suitability of ChatGPT and other generative AI models for businesses. ChatGPT, launched in November 2022, has become a popular use of advanced AI, with businesses and the general public exploring its capabilities. However, it is important to consider what kind of information you provide to ChatGPT and whether implementing it in your business is appropriate.
What is generative AI?
Generative AI is not a new concept and has been researched for over a decade. It is the idea of using AI to produce creative outputs, such as text or images, based on a prompt. OpenAI, founded in 2015, is a company that has created a product that can be used by businesses and consumers alike. ChatGPT is an AI model that can generate unique responses to natural language input provided by its training.
How does ChatGPT's training model work?
GPT-3 points to a large set of pre-trained data, collected from across the internet and other sources. However, OpenAI is very protective of what is in the model, and the average user does not have access to updates that OpenAI makes to the model in the background. ChatGPT does not learn from inputs, and users cannot train it themselves. This is a prudent decision as mass user training has previously caused problems for AI models.
How useful is ChatGPT for businesses?
ChatGPT can be useful for businesses as a basic text generation tool that can produce impressive output. However, it is important to consider the information you provide to ChatGPT and whether implementing it in your business is appropriate. It is worth noting that the version of ChatGPT that the average user accesses does not learn over time, and specific user training is not possible. Overall, careful consideration is needed to determine whether ChatGPT is suitable for your business needs.
