“The Horror. The Horror.”–Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando), Apocalypse Now

While writing this book, ChatGPT exploded onto the scene, providing me with a perfect opportunity to test many of the concepts detailed in the book.ChatGPT changes everything concerning our expectations for a world dominated by AI and Big Data. Unlike previous AI usage that worked behind the scenes to optimize business and operational use cases such as GPS navigation, hiring, financing, and college applications, ChatGPT is front-and-center, engaging in intelligent conversations with humans. And while ChatGPT may make mistakes today, we know that AI is a learning technology, and ChatGPT and other Generative AI products will learn and grow exponentially.ChatGPT and GPT-4 have created a massive debate regarding what we should do to contain or control AI before it’s too late. AI Industry leaders such as...

What are ChatGPT and Generative AI?

Generative AI is an artificial intelligence system that relies on unsupervised or semi-supervised learning algorithms to create new original digital content (e.g., articles, program code, poetry, photographs, artwork, and music) by learning from existing data or content.ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is a Generative AI chatbot launched by OpenAI in November 2022. It is built on OpenAI's GPT-3.5 family of Large Language Models (LLMs) and fine-tuned with supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.ChatGPT uses supervised learning to train its LLM. The supervised learning model uses the labeled data gleaned from websites and digital books to identify statistical language patterns buried in the massive data sets to train a LLM. The LLM then leverages these statistical language patterns and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to generate human-like responses.ChatGPT also uses Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) to continue...

Beginner Level 101 (Mother-in-Law Level)

If I had to explain ChatGPT to my mother-in-law, I’d say that ChatGPT is a simple concept that does four things exceptionally well:

1. Analyzes the public internet and creates a contextual knowledge base.

For example, ChatGPT accesses and is trained on all recipes, ingredients, instructions, and expected outcomes on public cooking websites.

1. Determines relevant language usage patterns and relationships.

In our cooking example, ChatGPT uses its AI brain to analyze all the cooking websites to identify relevant patterns and relationships concerning recipes, ingredients, cooking instructions, and expected outcomes.

1. Parses user requests to determine user intent (better than most humans).

In our cooking example, my mother-in-law types in a cooking request. ChatGPT reads the request and uses its AI brain to determine my mother-in-law’s intent and what she is asking.

1. Predicts what content is most relevant based...

Role of LLMs

A LLM is an artificial intelligence algorithm that can learn language patterns and relationships between words and phrases in textual data. It uses those patterns and relationships to predict a given context's next word or phrase.LLMs, such as GPT-3, are the backbone of intelligent AI chatbots like ChatGPT. Key aspects and concerns of an LLM include:

• Training data: LLMs are trained on vast amounts of text data, such as digital books, articles, and web pages. The LLM uses this data to learn patterns in language (word and position of words in sentences, paragraphs, and articles) and develop the ability to understand and generate human-like text.
• Natural Language Process: These intelligent AI chatbots leverage a NLP system to understand and generate human-like language
• Applications: LLMs have a wide range of applications, including language translation, content generation, text summarization, language generation, answering questions, and more.
• Architecture: LLMs...
