北京时间 12 月 6 日早间消息,据报道,总部位于旧金山的 OpenAI 于 11 月 30 日推出了其最新作品:ChatGPT 聊天机器人,供公众免费测试。聊天机器人是一种软件应用程序,旨在根据用户的提示模仿类似人类的对话。

OpenAI 联合创始人兼首席执行官山姆・阿尔特曼(Sam Altman)表示,在 ChatGPT 发布的一周之内,有超过一百万的用户尝试了这个线上工具。

Social media’s newest star is a robot: a program called ChatGPT

社交媒体的最新明星是一个机器人:一个名为ChatGPT的程序

Since its debut last week, many people have shared what the bot can do. New York magazine journalists told it to write what turned out to be a “pretty decent” story. Other users got it to write a solid academic essay on theories of nationalism, a history of the tragic but fictitious Ohio-Indiana War and some jokes. It told me a story about an artificial intelligence program called Assistant that was originally set up to answer questions but soon led a new world order that guided humanity to “a new era of peace and prosperity.”

自上周首次亮相以来,许多人都分享了这款机器人的功能。《纽约》杂志的记者让它写一篇后来被证明“相当不错”的报道。其他用户用它写了一篇关于民族主义理论的扎实的学术论文,一篇关于悲剧但虚构的俄亥俄-印第安纳战争的历史,以及一些笑话。它向我讲述了一个名为“助手”的人工智能程序的故事,该程序最初是用来回答问题的,但很快就建立了一个新的世界秩序,引导人类进入“和平与繁荣的新时代”。

What is remarkable about these examples is their quality: A human could have written them. And the bot is not even the best; OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is reportedly working on a better model that could be released next year. “A lot of the promised benefits of A.I. have been eternally five years away,” my colleague Kevin Roose, who covers technology, told me. “ChatGPT was a moment when a technology people had heard about finally became real to them.”

这些例子的非凡之处在于它们的质量:人类也可以写出它们。机器人甚至不是最好的;据报道,ChatGPT背后的OpenAI公司正在研究一种更好的模型,可能会在明年发布。“人工智能的很多承诺的好处永远都是五年之后的事,”我的负责科技报道的同事凯文·卢斯告诉我。“ChatGPT是一个人们听说过的技术最终成为现实的时刻。”

The upside of artificial intelligence is that it might be able to accomplish tasks faster and more efficiently than any person can. The possibilities are up to the imagination: self-driving and even self-repairing cars, risk-free surgeries, instant personalized therapy bots and more. The technology is not there yet. But it has advanced in recent years through what is called machine learning, in which bots comb through data to learn how to perform tasks. In ChatGPT’s case, it read a lot. And, with some guidance from its creators, it learned how to write coherently — or, at least, statistically predict what good writing should look like.

人工智能的好处在于,它可能比任何人都能更快、更有效地完成任务。可能性取决于你的想象:自动驾驶甚至自动修理汽车,无风险手术,即时个性化治疗机器人等等。技术还不成熟。但近年来,它通过所谓的机器学习取得了进步,机器人通过梳理数据来学习如何执行任务。在ChatGPT的例子中,它读了很多。而且,在其创建者的指导下,它学会了如何条理清晰地写作——或者,至少从统计上预测好文章应该看起来是什么样的。
