OpenAI’s new released ChatGPT can solve coding problems within seconds

On November 30, 2022 OpenAI announced ChatGPT, a new chatbot powered by AI. The demo version is now free to use and OpenAI invites everyone to test it and send a feedback to the research team, for future development.

ChatGPT is a new language model designed to provide information and answer your questions in a human-like conversation with the computer by using NLP (Natural Language Processing) techniques. The current preview works from within your web browser and it is not connected to the internet. Thus its responses are generated in real time, but they are coming from the offline trained models.

ChatGPT was trained using Reinforcement Learning on a huge sample of texts taken from the Internet. The AI trainers had conversations with the chatbot, then randomly selected some model-written messages and ranked them.

What ChatGPT can do

According to the research body from OpenAI, ChatGPT can “interact in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.”

These are some of the amazing things that ChatGPT can do:

  • Have relevant conversations with users by producing human-like answers, giving solutions, and provide text descriptions from a variety of topics (economics, history, science, and more)
  • Generate text in a variety of formats and styles
  • Write software—zero coding required
  • Debug your code
  • Detect security vulnerabilities
  • Deploy a virtual machine (VM)
  • Reverse engineering Shellcode, rewrite it in C
  • Solve layout problems and optimization queries
  • Provide recommendations and create automated chatbots
  • Generate content for websites
  • Do homework for children like writing an essay or solving math equations
  • Be embedded in a wide range of applications, including chatbots and virtual assistants
  • Memorize: ChatGPT can remember earlier messages in a conversation and use them afterwards

To avoid mistakes, Stack Overflow has temporarily banned users from sharing responses generated by ChatGPT. This decision stems from concerns that the ease of use associated with this chatbot could lead to an influx of answers that seem to be correct but are in fact wrong.

Could ChatGPT replace humans?

Despite its huge abilities to generate text and code, ChatGPT still lacks some skills like critical-thinking or ethical decision-making. It can also give entirely wrong answers and present misinformation as fact. At the moment these issues are difficult to be fixed, so ChatGPT cannot completely replace humans. But its proficiency at complex tasks and its writing abilities are indisputable. In just a few years many coders or journalists could indeed be replaced by ChatGPT.
