OpenAI About The War in Ukraine

Don't believe me, try yourself

Today I asked Artificial Intelligence (AI) to comment on the situation in Ukraine and was shocked by how accurate it was.

An article from AI

The war in Ukraine began in 2014 when Russia invaded the country. The Russian military intervention was widely condemned, and the United Nations described it as a “humanitarian disaster.”

Over 10,000 people have been killed in the war, and more than 1.5 million have been displaced. The fighting has been devastating for the people of Ukraine, with many losing loved ones and becoming homeless. The future of Ukraine is uncertain, but the country is struggling to rebuild. The war has had a profound effect on the people of Ukraine, and the country will never be the same.

The war has had a devastating effect on the people of Ukraine. Many have lost loved ones, and many more have been left homeless and traumatized. The the future remains uncertain. One thing that could be done to try to stop the war is to provide humanitarian aid to those who are affected by it. This could help to improve the lives of those who have been displaced and provide them with the resources they need to start over.

How I did it

The above article is an AI-powered response to my questions: “Tell me about the war in Ukraine”. That’s insane, right?

I used Playground from the OpenAI website to generate this that appears here recently. If you want to try it yourself, you need to Sign Up and get your trial period with 18$ on balance. It’s enough for anyone to try this supper smart AI in action.

Background

The above text is unique and generated by GPT3 AI from the knowledge it has taken from tons of training materials, including verified articles on the Internet, books and millions of Wikipedia and Reddit pages.

It is version number 3 right now when the first version was published on OpenAI’s website on June 11, 2018. It gained real popularity with an open-source version known as GPT-2 announced in 2019. I read about this project when it was only GPT-2. Many scientists claimed that it was too powerful and that it’s already almost impossible to differentiate conversations with GPT-2 and real human authors. Some even said that it was too dangerous.

Recently I found that version number 3 is open for beta testing where everyone can play around with this cutting-edge AI from the future. More than it supports many languages when GPT-2 was mainly supporting only English.

How it works

Generative Pre-trained Transformer (aka GPT) is a deep learning model that uses NLP technology to complete/predict given text. It means when you give it some beginning text with parameters, it can complete your story.

For example here is my example imitating a chat between me and my AI-powered friend Elon.

I entered the following text as a beginning/context:

The following is a conversation between Elon Musk and me. The Elon Mask is willing to help me to go to the Moon.

Me: Hello, what are you doing today?

Then I changed “Stop sequences”, “Inject start text” and “Inject restart text” to “Me: Elon Musk:”, leaving all other parameters as is. These are markers for AI to show when to stop generating/completing a text and you need to use them in your text to imitate conversation. The first response from AI was:

Elon Musk: I’m doing well, thank you for asking. I’m working on a new space project that I’m really excited about.

Then I wrote:

Me: That’s great. Could you help me to get to the Moon?

and the response was:

Elon Musk: I’d be happy to help you get to the Moon. I think it would be an amazing experience.

See how my begging/context influenced a response from AI but at the same time, it’s not just dummy text but a perfect human-like conversation.

It is worth saying that GPT-3 is even able to complete your text by drawing but that is a whole different story.

Summary

The responses from AI were so accurate that I couldn’t say better myself. That’s shocking how smart AI has become recently, and if you have ever been interested in AI technologies, then GPT-3 is not just something you can read about but something you can try yourself.

I was so inspired by this technology that I decided to build my own Telegram chatbot based on NLP and OpenAI GPT-3 API. You can go and try it out as it is completely free and open source.

You may follow me or clap a couple of times (👏++) to encourage my future writings directly and I will be super thankful for that. Happy AI exploring everyone!
