Notes About ChatGPT and Language Learning Models
Meetup Live Intro to ChatGPT
Host: Luigi Iacobellis: Trainer, YouTube Content Creator.
Topic: Write, Code, and Brainstorm using ChatGPT.
What is ChatGPT
Designed to simulate human conversation.
- Built by OpenAI
- Public release Nov 2022
- Text-only
- Premium version (paid subscription) features better performance, newer models, priority access, expanded character/word input limitation
How to use?
- Login
- Enter a Query
- Read the provided response
How does ChatGPT word?
- Language Models
- Model: "Generative Pre-Trained Transformer" GPT
- Go to OpenAI website for more details
- Natural Language Processing: Breaks down input, analyzes them, then generates a response based on contexts
Reinforcement Learning:
- Human AI Trainers work with the model to teach it how to act
Limitations?
- Responses will be limited to information based on when training ended and nothing newer
- May produce biased responses
- May produce incorrect information
Google Bard
- Similar technology.
- Does not include reinforcement training.
- Arguably not as capable as ChatGPT.
ChatGPT Demo Notes
Access ChatGPT: chat.openai.com (an account is required)
Send a Message input field: Where to enter prompts and queries.
Usage is predicated on inputing a prompt. A Stop button is available, and the chat session can be saved.
Use Cases:
- Social Content Creation: Webinar or Event descriptions.
- Brainstorming: Coming up with ideas or refining existing ideas into an actionable plan. Dinner ideas based on ingredients on-hand or types of food.
- Help Summarize Information: Supply diverse information and ask ChatGPT for a synthesis or summary.
- Analyze quantitative information: Paste a prompt with table-data (CSV etc) and ask for a summary, to get a narrative based on analysis of the data.
- Provide solutions specific to applications e.g. Excel to get a usable formula to use in your own spreadsheet without divulging any data from the table.
- Transcription Summary: Paste transcription into the query and ask for a summary. Note: There might be a limitation to the number of characters (possibly 500 words or 4000 characters).
Microsoft
Developed a partnership with OpenAI to incorporate ChatGPT into various products.
Edge:
- Click Bing icon then seelct Chat | Compose | Insights
- Chat: Chat-bot style interaction within the Edge browser w/ responses direct from OpenAI free-tier Chat-GPT.
- Compose: Ask for support writing a message. Tone and style can be selected to fit a response for the purpose.
- Insights: Was not demoed.
Tips
- When writing prompts, be more specific. More information in prompts to get better responses.
- OpenAI has a Discord Server where feedback can be submitted.
- Filler-text can be added into a query, and ChatGPT will skip over it and use the given context to generate a response.
- Group your questions in similar threads. Similarly, split longer and more complex prompts into multiple queries for more effective results.
- Trust but verify! Review output carefully.
- Provide as much detail into the prompt so the deep analysis on word matches will result in a better response.
- Tell ChatGPT to provide additional information, or use 'Regenerate Response' to get an alternative response.
One Thing Learned During Lui's Prez
The free tier of Chat GPT has many capabilities that I can use to:
- Simplify coming up with dinner ideas.
- Generate descriptions for planning documents for the volunteer radio team.
ChatGPT is integrated into Edge browser with a fully featured UI in a slide-out bar.
