Chat and other GPTs (ChatGPT and its predecessors)

Dall-E destroys the artists, ChatGPT the writers. Thanks to Large Language Models, children will soon no longer do their homework (by themselves), students will delegate their exams to software, lawyers could be replaced by bots, and in general we are once again heading for the downfall of mankind.

Or paradise, because no one will have to do boring work anymore, information will be much easier to find, and ChatGPT will patiently and happily explain every complex matter using language that five-year-olds can understand.

So which scenario is true??

In our current video, we refrain from wildly hammering ChatGPT with prompts and drawing conclusions from that, but rather take a look at the background and technical features. From this, it can be deduced quite well what ChatGPT and other LLMs can / will be able to do and which problems inevitably arise from the underlying approaches.

Bleeding Edge - curse or blessing?

We rely on bleeding edge technologies to drive companies forward with innovative solutions. That's why, in discussions with customers and partners or in our webinars, we are always keen to explain the benefits and possibilities of modern technologies to companies. But we also use AI ourselves: by automating tendering processes, we have been able to save valuable resources and increase efficiency.

Current AI is like a 12-year-old colleague

The technology must be embedded in the process and adapted to the process and not float next to it unconnected. This also applies to large language models - although their "humanity" gives the impression that they can be treated like a colleague rather than a tool. But how many business areas benefit from a colleague with the intellectual capacity of a twelve-year-old?

ChatGPT "knows" nothing

Language models are notoriously struggling to recall facts reliably. Unfortunately, they also almost never answer "I don't know". The burden of distinguishing between hallucination and truth is therefore entirely on the user. This effectively means that this user must verify the information from the language model - by simultaneously obtaining the fact they are looking for from another, reliable source. LLMs are therefore more than useless as knowledge repositories.
