ChatGPT Feedback Contest

ChatGPT is the hottest new thing in the world of language models. With its advanced technology and user-friendly interface, it’s taking the world by storm. Whether you’re using it for conversation, language translation, or content creation, ChatGPT is the go-to tool for anyone looking to enhance their communication skills. Its cutting-edge capabilities, several actually very surprising, make it the most exciting development in the field. Already a tool that you can use, for the moment for free as it is undergoing a testing phase, users are raving about the benefits it provides.

If you are reading this there’s a good chance you’ve already given ChatGPT a try. Indeed it has such a large number of users, that it gets saturated at certain times of the day:

And if you’ve tried ChatGPT deep enough, you may have seen that it suffers from some problems. Despite the huge efforts that OpenAI has made and is making to suppress inappropriate or harmful speech, many limitations still exist and surface when you use the model.

Updates to the model will be made to address these areas, but this requires active investigation and assessments that only humans can carry out. By providing an accessible interface for ChatGPT for free, valuable user feedback on issues not already known can be gathered. And to promote that users do responsible evaluations of ChatGPT’s text generations, OpenAI set up a contest with some prizes.

Users are encouraged to provide feedback on problematic outputs from the model through the user interface, as well as false positives and negatives from the external content filter. Particular interest is given to feedback on harmful outputs that could occur in real-world scenarios, as well as feedback that helps identify and understand novel risks and potential solutions. There is also the option to enter the ChatGPT Feedback Contest for a chance to win API credits worth up to $500. Entries can be submitted through the feedback form accessible through the ChatGPT interface.

This interface looks like this when you click thumbs up or down for each piece of text generated by ChatGPT:

While both positive and negative feedback are important, negative feedback is probably key, especially regarding the human’s assessment about whether the text is harmful, contains false information, or simply isn’t as helpful as expected.
