In December, OpenAI, one of the world’s most ambitious A.I.
labs introduced an incredibly smart AI chat app. It is current available free
to the public.
Asked even complex math or physics questions, the AI answers
in clear, well-punctuated prose. With mind-boggling fluency, the
natural-language system can write, argue and code.
Among many other uses, the chatbot could be applied a new
kind of personal tutor. It could teach math, science and English.
It can also write poems or stories if given the outline. The
system lets you create digital images simply by describing what you want to
see.
Many experts believe these new chatbots are poised to
reinvent or even replace internet search engines like Google and Bing. Users
are consistently amazed by its talent for open-ended conversation.
They can serve up information in tight sentences, rather
than long lists of blue links. They explain concepts in ways that people can
understand. And they can deliver facts, while also generating business plans,
term paper topics and other new ideas from scratch.
It can extrapolate and take ideas from different contexts
and merge them together. However, at the same time they may even inadvertently
blend fact with fiction, as could be expected from a system trained from vast
amounts of information posted to the internet. Chatbots have a way of taking what
they have learned and reshaping it into something new — with no regard for
whether it is true.
These systems cannot exactly chat like a human, but they
often seem to. They can also retrieve and repackage information with a speed
that humans never could. They can be thought of as digital assistants. And, no
doubt, they will evove futher as time goes on.
OpenAI is among the many companies, academic labs and
independent researchers working to build more advanced chatbots. Some readily
available apps are currently available for you to try out.
Open AI at openai.com offers a free app.
DataBot is an AI-powered virtual assistant, and it's
available on Windows 10, Android, and iOS. It's also available on Xbox One,
iPad, iPod, Android tablets, and Windows phones. This app answers your
questions in its voice, and it addresses the topics that matter to you.
