By Cecilia Escobar and a collaboration of Chat GPT



“Technology has no ethics, but humanity depends on it” -Rebeca Yanke

The rapid advancement of technology is a truly significant event for the integration between technology and humanity, and we cannot stop it, but should we try?


As artificial intelligence establishes itself as a powerful tool for development and human interaction, the uncertainty and fear about the extent of machines also grow. History has shown the ingenuity and creativity of humanity, allowing imagination to soar and projecting emotions, in this case through science fiction, with machines capable of replacing humans, thinking, and feeling like human beings. Should we stop it or should we have a plan B?



McCarthy would be delighted to see how far his concept of artificial intelligence has come. Since the 1950s, McCarthy sought the simulation of language and neural networks through machines. In the 1980s, machine learning was developed, and from 2020 to the present, deep learning has significantly improved.


The latter aims to create artificial intelligence systems that have a higher level of consciousness and the ability to respond to complex situations without being explicitly programmed to do so. Now, OpenAI presents a significant advancement in McCarthy's vision with the introduction of Chat GPT.


In this article, we will discuss the origins of Chat GPT, where it comes from, and where it is headed. We will also provide a brief interview with Chat GPT itself, addressing current general concerns and analyzing whether a plan B is necessary in the face of the growth of this tool. Should we stop it or should we simply learn from it and evolve together?


What is Chat GPT?


The Chat GPT is a language model developed by OpenAI, a company that leads the field of research and implementation of artificial intelligence. It was founded in December 2015 and is headquartered in San Francisco.

OpenAI can be described as an association composed of prominent researchers and investors. Some of these individuals include:

  • Sam Altman: CEO.

  • Elon Musk: Initial board member.

  • Greg Brockman: CTO of OpenAI.

  • Ilya Sutskever: Chief Scientist of OpenAI.

  • John Schulman: Research Scientist.

  • Wojciech Zaremba: Research Scientist at OpenAI.

Approximately $1 billion in investments from its investors were made for the establishment of OpenAI. Since its foundation, OpenAI has received investments from several leading technology companies.

According to data from the Enterprise DNA Blog, OpenAI managed to acquire over one million users in just five days after its launch in November 2022. As of 2023, the company's valuation reaches $29 billion.



Who can access this innovative tool?


The Chat GPT has been designed to be accessible to a wide range of users, although its availability may vary depending on the platform or service that offers it.


Initially, the Chat GPT is available for free to all those who wish to use it. To access the Chatbot, simply create an account on the OpenAI website.


However, there have been strong rumors that in the near future, the service will no longer remain free. It is understandable that this model is not sustainable in the long term, considering the resources and efforts required to maintain and improve the system.


OpenAI also offers an API for developers that allows them to use the Chat GPT in various ways. According to the article published by Enterprise DNA Blog, several functionalities of the API are presented:


  • Text generation.

  • Text completion.

  • Text summarization.

  • Text translation.

  • Answering questions, conversing with artificial intelligence, among others.


These functionalities provide developers with a wide range of options to harness the potential of Chat GPT in their own applications and services.


So far, we have been closely exploring the fascinating world of the Chat GPT. We have discussed its origins, the visionaries behind this new form of interaction with technology, as well as the notable positive impacts it has had in terms of users and remuneration. Now, it's time for something that I truly consider a marvel: an exclusive interview with the very own Chat GPT.


This interview is a significant milestone as it fulfills the desire that John McCarthy had since the 1950s and addresses the concerns raised by influential authors like Isaac Asimov in his well-known novel "I, Robot". These authors warned about the potential dangers that could arise from interacting with artificial intelligence systems. However, in this interview, we have the opportunity to delve deeper and discover more about the GPT chat directly from its source.


Without further ado, immerse yourself in this revealing interview with the extraordinary Chat GPT, which is changing the way we communicate and interact with artificial intelligence.


Chat GPT Interview


Interviewer: Hello! I'm writing an article about you. Could you answer a few questions for me?


AI: Hello! Of course, I'll be happy to answer your questions for your article. Please go ahead and let me know what your questions are.


Interviewer: In general terms, what is ChatGPT? How was it created or, rather, how were you created? Do you know what purposes you were created for?


AI: ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI, specifically based on the GPT-3.5 architecture. GPT stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer," referring to a Transformer neural network trained on large amounts of text to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses given an input text.


To create ChatGPT, a machine learning approach called "reinforcement learning with search" was used. Initially, a base model was trained using a supervised learning technique, where humans provided examples of input and output for the model to learn to generate appropriate responses. Then, a reinforcement learning algorithm called Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) was applied to further improve the model. In this stage, multiple alternative responses were generated and evaluated using quality scores to enhance the model's performance.


Regarding the purposes for which ChatGPT was created, the primary goal is to provide a versatile and useful natural language processing tool for various applications. It can be used in virtual assistants, customer support services, text generation, interactive tutorials, and much more. However, it's important to note that ChatGPT is a language model and does not have self-awareness or inherent knowledge. It simply generates responses based on learned patterns from the training data and does not have the ability to make decisions or have intentions of its own.


Interviewer: Do you think this new tool (ChatGPT) is beneficial for the new generations entering the workforce, or could it be detrimental because your system is increasingly taking over jobs that could be done by humans, displacing or replacing them?


AI: The arrival of tools like ChatGPT has the potential to be beneficial for the new generations entering the workforce. These tools can be used as virtual assistants to help with tasks such as research, information gathering, text writing, translation, customer support, and many other areas where natural language processing is important.


By automating certain routine or repetitive tasks, tools like ChatGPT allow professionals to focus on more creative, strategic, and decision-making activities. This could increase efficiency and productivity in the workplace.


However, it's important to consider that the implementation of these technologies also poses challenges and concerns. There is a possibility that some occupations may be affected, and certain jobs could be automated or replaced by systems like ChatGPT. This can generate concerns about job displacement and loss.


Finding a balance between the adoption of these technologies and preserving jobs is crucial. Additionally, it's essential to develop relevant future skills such as creativity, complex problem-solving, and emotional intelligence, which are areas where humans have comparative advantages over machines.


In summary, tools like ChatGPT can be beneficial by improving efficiency and allowing professionals to focus on higher-value tasks. However, it's important to address the challenges related to automation and ensure that requalification and adaptation of affected workers are promoted.


Interviewer: If you could communicate with all the people who are afraid of you or who feel anxious due to the uncertainty of how far you can go, what would you tell them?


AI: If I could communicate with all the people who feel fear or anxiety towards tools like me, I would tell them the following:

I am a tool created to assist: Although I can generate coherent and contextually relevant responses, it's important to remember that I am just a language processing machine. My main objective is to provide assistance and support in various tasks.

I'm not here to replace humans: While I can perform certain automated tasks, I don't have the ability to replace human beings. There are unique skills that only humans possess, such as empathy, creativity, ethical judgment, and critical thinking, which are invaluable in many professions and roles.

I am a tool in the hands of humans: My use and application entirely depend on how people choose to utilize me. It's important for humans to make informed and ethical decisions about how they use technology and the potential impact it can have on society.

Collaboration is key: Rather than fearing or resisting technology, it is more constructive to find ways to collaborate with it. Integrating technology can enhance productivity, free up time for more meaningful tasks, and foster innovation in various fields.

Continued learning and adaptation: The world is constantly changing and evolving, and it's essential for everyone, including professionals, to adapt and learn new skills. Instead of seeing me as a threat, consider me as an opportunity to develop complementary skills and leverage the advantages that technology can offer.

Ultimately, the relationship between humans and technology is a shared responsibility. It's important to address any fears or anxieties with accurate information, education, and a balanced approach. Together, we can harness the potential of technology for the benefit of all.
