One of the popular topics that swept the world in these weeks, it is the data -driven artificial intelligence system ChatGPT.It is said that at the Davos World Economic Forum held at the end of last month, the leaders of the participating business community and high -rise financial circles. The most talked about the Russian and Ukraine conflicts on the table, but the various impacts brought by ChatGPT.The ChatGPT officially released by the artificial intelligence laboratory Open AI at the end of November last year is in various fields, especially the educational community has set off a boom and fierce debate.
There are many discussions on the advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT on the market.AI did not launch ChatGPT as the entry point, and may find some answers.
The latest development of the ChatGPT effect is the new Bing search supported by Microsoft's release by ChatGPT; Google has also launched AI products BARD, which competes with ChatGPT. It is generally believed that a new round of artificial intelligence war has begun.If Open AI did not launch ChatGPT at the end of last year, people's most direct feels that there is no set of AI systems on the market to chat, search, and translate.It is used to write love letters, poetry and novels, write code, and even develop mini -games.
The most intense controversy around ChatGPT is the education community. Without this set of software, professors and teachers do not have to prevent students from using it to write papers. Do not worry about students' learning will be affected, and the accuracy of the content it generates.It is not necessary to redesign the courses for it, such as increasing oral test and classroom homework, abandoning student papers and opening up homework.
If OPEN AI has not released ChatGPT, will other AI laboratories or companies and technology giants not release a similar "generation" AI system?This may be a problem that is more worth pondering than the above -mentioned reduction of educators' distress results. Because after the ChatGPT boom broke out, the United States has AI developers who have come out to say that there are actually many companies and research laboratories developing such AI systems.AI is not a stand -alone.
In fact, ChatGPT uses "RLHF" (Illustration Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback, that is, reinforcement learning through human feedback), which is to allow humans to rank machine output to improve model performance, just likeGoogle's webpage ranking is the same, so this technology is not the first of Open AI, and the first is the DeepMind owned by Google.DeepMind's most talked about was to defeat the human champion player in Go a few years ago.It can now be used to overcome the challenges of the long -term existence of life sciences, helping humans predict the shape of protein, and so on.
In this case, if Open AI has not released ChatGPT, Google or other US technology giants, it should be released sooner or later, which will release similar "generation" systems, and people will not avoid the various impacts brought by ChatGPT.However, so far, the reaction from giants such as Microsoft and Google has inferred that it may not be the possible development of this assumption.
Of course, almost all of the breakthroughs in the global AI field have always come from large technology companies, mainly because they have super powerful computing power.For example, behind Amazon's Alexa voice assistant, there is strong AI technical support; Meta recently defeated human players in the strategy chessboard game DIPLOMACY due to its AI system Cicero, which attracted much attention.
But according to the most likely threat to ChatGPT, two major search engines that have urgently launched similar products Microsoft and Google. From the end of November to the present movement and statement, they did not use their own advantages to release similar systems.Plan and intention.After Microsoft released ChatGPT's reaction in Open AI, Microsoft has adhered to the consistent "useist" style of the launch window, simply incorporated the other party into it, and then incorporated the opponent's product into its own software system and then launched.Microsoft announced this time that it will invest in Open AI for $ 10 billion (about S $ 13.2 billion), and plans to use ChatGPT to improve software products and services.
As for Google, it has already built a language model similar to a chatbot or dialogue application named Lamda, which is similar to ChatGPT, and can talk to users in natural language.However, Google has not officially launched Lamda. After ChatGPT's recent popularity, it explained in the face of Western media inquiries that it has been evaluating the possible social impacts and potential hazards of such AI system innovation.
For Google's justification, the market is roughly interpreted on both sides.Interestingly, the interpretation of both parties points to Google will not first launch any similar AI system in the near future if there is no ChatGPT.From the perspective of accepting Google's debaters, Google's cautious attitude is reasonable. After all, as a growing technology giant with a growing business, when it adopts new technology, it will inevitably be subject to special attention or even challenges, not to mention that ChatGPT is indeed not perfectFor example, it may have been abused into a controversy in a tool to spread error messages or even hate remarks.
Google has actually faced a lawsuit of the two antitrust behavior of the US Department of Justice. One is that they are accused when arranging advertising sales on behalf of other websites, and use all aspects of the market to seek their own benefits. The second is to negotiate with customers.Get the distribution agreement exclusively for their search engines to reject competitors outside the door.It was fined three times because of market monopoly in Europe.Under the strict supervision of European and American officials, Google has step by step for the launch of controversial innovative products.
But there are also views on Google's speech.Systems such as ChatGPT can directly answer the query instead of simply pointing users to the recommended links, which will undoubtedly reduce the user's needs for search engines, that is, it will threaten the main business of Google and the growth prospects of Microsoft's Bing search engine.EssenceQuestioning Google Defense believes that Google does not want a new system to impact its current profit search business. After all, search business is important to Google. From it to 85%of the search market, 99,000 Google Search per second, with an average of 85 per day 85It can be seen from 100 million times.
AI technology enters the deep water area
Google's cautious attitude is instead of being afraid of the official control of the supervision. It is better to work hard to introduce such AI systems into consumer products to try to slow down the pace of the birth of such systems.
For Google's wrap, people will inevitably associate the story of Kodak's final decline because Kodak does not launch its own digital photography technology, and Nokia has ignored software development because of the popularity of hardware mobile phones.Management case.
Google's current situation is of course not comparable to Kodak of that year, but ChatGPT is a warning to a certain extent for it.
It can be strongly inferred that if the ChatGPT was not available at the end of last year, whether it is Microsoft or Google, it is unlikely to release a similar AI system in the near future.Any signs of doing so.In this way, Open AI released ChatGPT, which is of great significance in the development of AI.As a small starting company, it does not need to be maintained without a rich source of existing income.Therefore, in the absence of worries, it is more telescopic and guts than greater technology competitors, and the launch of products that may need to be improved.Such a courageous spirit will become more and more important in the current stage of AI technology entering the deep water area.

If ChatGPT was not available at the end of last year, no matter Microsoft nor Google, it is unlikely that a similar AI system will be released in the near future. Other American technology giants who are not directly threatened by ChatGPT will not show any signs of doing so.In this way, Open AI released ChatGPT, which is of great significance in the development of AI.
