Since it's released last year, you've probably heard a lot of chatter about chat GPT.

0:37.3

The CEO of the company behind ChatGPT says artificial intelligence will reshape society.

0:44.6

Chat GPT, a language model created by OpenAI, has the ability to respond to prompts in a human-like manner.

0:52.5

But this chatbot is just the interface between users and a large language model called GPT3.5.

1:00.1

And last month, the model's developer, Tech Research Company OpenAI, announced its most

1:05.4

advanced model yet.

1:07.1

The new GPT4 is really good at solving problems and writing original texting code, so good that it's got some AI researchers asking everyone to press pause.

1:18.7

Now, an open letter signed by Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak, and a number of top AI scientists, is calling for a six-month pause on AI development, arguing, quote, powerful AI

1:30.1

systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive

1:34.4

and the risks will be manageable. So what is the real difference between GPT4 and its predecessor?

1:41.5

And why does it scare AI experts so much? I'm Sophie Bushwick,

1:46.1

and I'm Kelsa Harper. And you're listening to Tech Quickly. So what exactly is this artificial

1:54.8

intelligence? GPT stands for generative pre-trained transformer, which is a type of large language model, and

2:02.3

that is a type of AI program that can analyze and generate text. Basically, researchers build

2:08.6

a machine learning program called a neural network because its structure is inspired by the human

2:13.8

brain, and then they feed it a bunch of text, so it can learn the patterns of
