OpenAI uses the data you enter in the prompt as part of their

efforts to continuously refine ChatGPT. That’s why you should

never consider any work you do in the free or premium version of
ChatGPT to be private.

GPT-3 and GPT-4 are general-purpose AI models suited for a

large variety of language-related tasks. ChatGPT is a chatbot that
runs on either model, and it is smaller, more accurate, and faster
than GPT-3 and GPT-4 in conversational tasks. However, both
GPT-3 and GPT-4 are capable of many more actions than simply
carrying on a conversation with inquisitive people like ChatGPT
does.

OpenAI’s older GPT-3 models are named Davinci, Curie, Babbage,

and Ada. Davinci does the most, but the others are sometimes a
better choice for developers in meeting specific needs when cost
is a primary concern.

More recent models are Codex, which understands and generates

computer code from its training in natural language and billions
of lines of code scraped from GitHub, and Content Filter, which
classifies text as safe, sensitive, or unsafe.

The Content Filter model is meant to filter out any content likely
to be perceived by users as offensive or alarming. Unfortunately,
the filter fails sometimes and lets bad stuff through while over-
throttling some acceptable or barely questionable content. This
behavior is unsurprising because Content Filter is in beta; it’s
expected to improve over time. Users are encouraged to click the
thumbs up or thumbs down button at the top of the ChatGPT-
generated text to help improve content generation in terms of
relevance, quality, and acceptability.

GPT-4 was released in early 2023. It has more reasoning capa-

bilities and is generally more creative and collaborative than
GPT-3 models. It’s also larger and more stable. Its capabilities
are impressive and easily seen in outputs ranging from techni-
cal writing and programming to screenwriting and mimicking the
user’s personal writing style. However, it still hallucinates just as
GPT-3 models do.

CHAPTER 1 Introducing ChatGPT 19

Grabbing Headlines and Disrupting
Businesses
ChatGPT took the world by surprise. By all accounts, its launch
shouldn’t have made the splash it did.

The model concept isn’t new. Large language models date to the
1950s. Several chatbots built on such models were simultaneously
under development by several organizations in recent years with
little to no fanfare or market anticipation. And ChatGPT is not
necessarily the best of its kind, at least not in its earliest form.
Plus, previous chatbot types were commonplace and function-
ing well, leaving little market energy for doing anything more
innovative.

Yet here ChatGPT is in its undisputed position as king of the

AI hill. It was crowned as such by all accounts in less than two
months since its introduction to the public. The burning question
is why was it accepted so quickly by so many?

Scholars, researchers, and academics will have to wrestle with

that question to find definitive answers. But the far more urgent
question is what is the effect of a technology that has over
100 million people worldwide embracing it immediately and a
whopping 13 million and counting using it every day?

Grokking that ChatGPT is a harbinger

of exponential change
Trade publications usually trumpet the arrival of a new tech-
nology, with mainstream media giving only a perfunctory nod.
But mainstream media headlines quickly shouted the arrival of
ChatGPT, and even talk show hosts and comedians gave their take
on how ChatGPT would change our world.

Some said ChatGPT’s arrival heralded the end of many jobs and
careers. Others said it would kill or diminish entire industries,
such as media, law, and education. Still others thought it was the
beginning of the end of humanity either by stunting our brains or
sounding a welcome for newly formed AI overlords.

The more positive folks pointed to ChatGPT’s capability to enable

new ways to make money, ease our labors, speed our education,

stoke our ideas, solve complex problems, free more of our time,
multiply our productivity, and generally broaden access and
opportunity for all.

But despite the many different opinions, the consensus is that

ChatGPT is a harbinger of exponential change, bringing universal
disruption and creative destruction.

ChatGPT does signal a significant paradigm shift from the uni-

versal embrace of AI in our everyday lives to its touch on the many
aspects of our existence. However, generative artificial intelli-
gence is unlikely to completely usurp our reality. Life will go on,
albeit a bit differently, and still under human control. But under
the control of which humans?

Weighing the initial effect on existing

businesses and industries
Although foreseeing the full effect of generative AI in general and
ChatGPT in particular is difficult, we can make some reasonable
predictions now. Primarily, ChatGPT will have the most effect on
knowledge workers — that is, people who work primarily in the
gathering, analysis, application, and distribution of knowledge.

Businesses and industries most likely to feel early and substantial

effects from this technology include the following:

»» Medical research and development

»» Biohacking
»» Healthcare
»» Education
»» Media
»» Marketing and advertising
»» Legal
»» Art
»» Retail
»» Financial services
»» Research
»» Search engines

But make no mistake, ChatGPT and its ilk will rapidly become
ubiquitous across industries and business lines. Its continued
presence is inevitable, but the intensity of its effect on various
entities will vary.

Bracing for future upheaval

To borrow a phrase from Star Trek’s Borg, “resistance is futile.”
Put another way, the AI genie will not go back in the bottle. What-
ever your choice of expression for inevitability, ChatGPT and its
rivals are here to stay.

Ignoring it or trying to ban it will at most cause a temporary pause

but more likely create a generative AI underground. The better
advice is to work to discover how many ways you can leverage this
technology in your personal life, career, business, and industry.
Watch for indicators that signal its effect on the economy and
employment trends so you can take advantage when opportunity
arises.

Don’t be content with dabbling with ChatGPT or following the

crowd in how you use it. Understand that the true advantage
you have over AI, and other humans using AI, is in your ability
to think and create. So start thinking of and creating new ways
to use ChatGPT to your advantage. In particular, develop your
prompting skills to the highest level you can imagine and then
push your thinking even further. Check out Chapter 3 to help spur
and direct your efforts.
