It's kind of like Metevarse, everyone (used to) talks about it but no one has any idea what really is and there's no organization certifying AI-able things, meanwhile everyone is building AI in a similar way everyone was building the Metaverse last year.
GPT is the acronym for Generative Pretrained Transformer.
So basically some guys took a massive amount of text from mostly two free very large datasets, spent $10M in hardware and ran it through some filters, tokenizers and models (transformers) to create a glorified text prediction tool.
Wait, it is not just a glorified text prediction tool, because GPTs are able to solve some very difficult problems in the area of computer-based linguistics.
One of these problems is anaphora resolution or "the problem of resolving what a pronoun, or a noun phrase refers to."
So I went ahead and ran a simple query on ChatGPT to test this case and the answer was meh, it gave me a lengthy, verbose lecture of what should have been a two liner straight answer.
It kind of got confused with the nouns so the answer didn't make a ton of sense either.
If ChatGPT is currently the hottest thing in AI, should we really be worried about it taking over the world?

My very limited understanding of AI so far:
There's no formal definition of AI.
