CHAPTER 1: WRITING MEETS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ABOUT CHATGPT ChatGPT is an advanced AI language model. It was introduced by OpenAI in November 2022 and the current version being utilized is Version 4. It has the ability to generate human-like responses. It is capable of learning from data in multiple languages and dialects. ChatGPT has the ability to tailor its outputs to a user’s specific language habits, writing style, context and overall user experience. GENERATIVE AI AND CHATBOT Generative AI involves using advanced machine learning models to generate text, video and images based on previous data and context. Large Language Models (LLMs) developed by tech companies like Google, Facebook, Meta and OpenAI have played a significant role in advancing generative AI capabilities. Large Language Models (LLMs) traces back to their inception at Google Brain in 2017. LLMs were utilized for word translation while maintaining context. LLMs are designed to understand the structure and patterns of language, allowing them to generate coherent and contextually relevant text in response to specific inputs. IT CAN ALSO GENERATE VIDEO OR PHOTO Chatbots are AI-based software applications designed to simulate human conversation through text or voice commands. They utilize natural language processing (NLP) to understand user inputs and provide appropriate responses or perform actions. TRANFROMERS AND TOKENS ChatGPT-4 exploits the power of Transformers, which are robust models designed with a specific architecture to facilitate a deep understanding and effective generation of human language. Tokens play a crucial role in the functioning of ChatGPT-4. They serve as the fundamental units into which text is segmented. By breaking down the input text into tokens, ChatGPT-4 can effectively analyze and capture the relationship between these units. This is made through the utilization of self-attention mechanisms. Special tokens are introduced to provide supplementary context and structure to the text. ChatGPT-4 utilizes a numerical representation system. Each word is assigned a unique number within the model’s vocabulary. HOW TO USE CHATGPT GIVEN BY LLM TO AUTOMATE PROCESS FORM OF PROGRAMMING THAT CAN ↑ OF GENERATED OUTPUT Once you have accessed ChatGPT you can begin interacting with the generative AI. > COSTUMISE OUTPUT - WITH A LLM AND INTERACTION Prompts are instructions for directing the AI model towards generating outputs. Depending on the user’s purpose, a prompt can take the form of a question, statement, narrative, task or topic. A good prompt should be precise, understandable and provide enough information for ChatGPT to understand the context and provide an appropriate response.
