Recently, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has taken frequent action, especially since the launch of the generative AI represented by ChatGPT of OPENAI, which has attracted attention from all walks of life, and many topics related to ChatGPT have been on the hot search.
What is the popular AIGC? What is ChatGPT?
AIGC refers to the automatic generation of content by artificial intelligence (AI), which can be used for painting, writing, video and other types of content creation.
Take the recently popular ChatGPT as an example. It is a new chat robot model developed by OpenAI, the American artificial intelligence research laboratory. It can conduct dialogue by learning and understanding human language, interact according to the context of chat, and assist human beings to complete a series of tasks.

This AI language model makes it easy to write emails, papers, scripts, formulate business proposals, create poems, stories, and even code and check program errors.
Many netizens who have "talked" with ChatGPT have exclaimed, "You can't do without ChatGPT unless you think of it".
ChatGPT is booming. Google, Microsoft, Apple and Baidu are all in a hurry
On February 6, local time, Reuters reported that Alphabet, the parent company of Google, announced that it would launch the AI (artificial intelligence) chat robot service called "Bard" and more AI projects to cope with the new computing wave led by rival Microsoft.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in his blog on the 6th that Bard is an experimental AI program based on the dialogue application language model (LaMDA), which has been tested and opened to the public in a few weeks.
Interestingly, Microsoft said that it would release its AI products on the 7th local time. According to an event invitation obtained by Reuters, Microsoft plans to integrate AI into all products and will introduce its development in detail on the 7th.
Not only Microsoft, but also Apple has been revealed to hold AI-related activities.
On February 6, local time, Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman posted on the social network that Apple would hold the annual internal AI summit next week. It is like the AIth Apple Global Developers Conference, but only limited to Apple employees.
The China News Service Guoshi Express learned from Baidu on the 7th that the name of the Baidu ChatGPT project was determined to be "Wenxin Yiyan", with the English name of ERNIE Bot. The internal test was completed in March and opened to the public. According to the rhythm of Google and Microsoft, it is possible to open the internal test in advance.
Is ChatGPT really so reliable?
Are you really that reliable? ChatGPT: As a machine learning model, ChatGPT has a high accuracy within the range of training data, but it cannot guarantee that its answer is 100% correct in the end.
During the chat, ChatGPT's "self introduction" is very frank: it can remember the earlier conversation, and can correct the answer direction according to the user's prompt, but occasionally it will make mistakes. The real-time performance of the database needs to be considered.
Chat with ChatGPT, you can go straight to the topic, get to the point, and also from the shallow to the deep, from the outside to the inside. When asked about some serious topics and solutions, ChatGPT's answer was logical and well-worded. Although it did not put forward ideas beyond the clich é, it was amazing for its clear, intuitive and rapid expression and reaction process.
What is the business prospect of ChatGPT? How will AI develop in the future?
ChatGPT has not only attracted people's attention in the Internet and many industries, but also set off a wave of institutional investment in the field of artificial intelligence in the investment community. ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chat program, has reached 100 million monthly users in January this year, becoming the fastest growing consumer application in history, only two months after its launch last November. With the success of ChatGPT, AI has once again become a hot word on Wall Street. Not only institutional investors, but also retail investors have bet on technology.
AIGC technology enables AI to make a huge leap from perception and understanding of the world to generation and creation of the world. For enterprises that are willing to dig gold in the new era tide, data, computing power and algorithm are the three carriages driving the development of AIGC, each of which costs a huge amount of money and may lead to high operating costs. The challenge also lies in this: users expect the AIGC tool to reduce the marginal cost of content creation to infinitely close to zero, so as to generate huge economic value. How can AIGC applications change from burning money to making money? To answer this question, we may need to go through the brutal market competition like a big wave of sand before we can give the answer.
Bill Gates: AI can improve efficiency, but consider where the border is
Bill Gates has always favored AI, and has repeatedly compared it to a new technology comparable to computers and the Internet. On February 6, local time, according to Forbes, Gates said in an exclusive interview that the progress of chat robot ChatGPT and AI is exciting, and AI will be "the hottest topic in 2023". Gates believes that AI will show its value in education, medical care and other aspects. However, it may lose control or go in the wrong direction, which will cause a lot of controversy.
Gates said that Microsoft remained highly vigilant. "AI will become controversial, which is undoubtedly the 'hottest topic in 2023', and it will also change the employment market to some extent. This makes us wonder where the boundary is? (For example) It will obviously not engage in scientific invention, but considering what we have seen at present, it may happen in the next 5-10 years."
