Artificial Intelligence Chatbots as Assistants, Not Decision-Makers

The world is enthusiastic about the so-called ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) developed by an artificial intelligence research laboratory called OpenAI. Google also did not want to be left behind by developing their own version called Google Bard. Both are powered by artificial intelligence technology. There is a lot of news about this technology, which I think, at least for now, is over-reactive. Like the assumption that artificial intelligence technology will exceed human intelligence (its creator), and moreover, replace humans themselves. On the other hand, Elon Musk warned that this technology could cause a "catastrophic outcome" for humanity if not controlled. He even called a temporary halt to its further development. Considering he was one of the main donors to this project, I found it odd. I don't know if this is a marketing trick to blow up investors' interest.

After all, ChatGPT, Google Bard, or artificial intelligence is just a computer program that scavenges data from the ocean of information provided by humans themselves on the internet or interconnected big database centers. Just imagine if a super-intelligent human just saved his work on a piece of paper that was kept under his pillow. Can ChatGPT scavenge his work?

There is an idiom in the world of programming that says: "garbage in, garbage out". That means if the data entered into a program is false, then the result will also be false. Are you sure all the information available on the internet is accurate? I don't think so. There is a lot of false information, even biased. If ChatGPT scavenges this biased data, then I doubt the information provided will be accurate. Therefore, I also doubt if the development of the aircraft design is solely based on the results of artificial intelligence without further inspection by humans. I would have my doubts about the safety of that plane in the sky.

It is wise to treat ChatGPT or artificial intelligence as your assistant. It can help enrich the data or information you are looking for more quickly. It saves you time. But the final consideration remains with you.

Chatbot powered by artificial intelligence technology.

However, I salute the achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. In the future, I hope this technology can be developed wisely to advance human civilization. One important thing is how to prevent this technology from being used by lazy students to make papers instantly in order to get good grades at school.

    Tikno, you are right at some points at least for now.
    But, technology is always evolving. Who knows one day RoboCop will actually be real in front of us.

      That's better than Terminator. Btw, how about if one day an AI doll is able to become a human's spouse?
      Thanks for your comment.

    I like the analogy with the plane. I also feel that people who take their hands off the wheet for self-driving cars are foolish. One little bug in the programming and the driver and passengers are all potentially dead.

      Trust me, I will not buy their passenger ticket if I know their plane controlled by AI robot.

      @Rezky,
      I will lose reader's interest if I do copy-paste from ChatGPT. That's not my style.
      It is possible that the content generated by ChatGPT is taken from copyrighted material.

    I always believe that humans will never be surpassed by machines. If true, then humans can also surpass their gods.

      Robots (machines / computer) surpass humans in terms of processing speed.
      Humans surpass robots when it come to love and wisdom.

    A lot of people are using the chatbots. I like when Bloggers let us know that they are using ChatGPT or whatever. I don't use any of those to do any writing on my blog and doubt I will.

In Memory, my beloved brother

Actually, I do not think to make this post. But at one night, suddenly I look at his photo and remembered all his kindness and beautiful memories when he was still with us. Since December 23th, 2007, my beloved brother Rudiansyah Guyana has left us forever. He was a kind-hearted man, helpful to others, a man who love his family, an independent person, hard worker, and always want to go forward to reach for his dreams in order to be success in life and marry using his own money. I still remember when I was in hard conditions, he always gave genuine support. I never forget when I get married... he by sincerely gave some money to me by saying "For anything". Although a very little amount, but in sincerity I felt touched, moreover I knew he got it with very hard. And now... despite I'm a manager who have sizable income, I have no way to reply his kindness because he already went to the other world, forever. Feels like facing the door that was closed for me. For my lifetime I...

The Inner Voices When I Get Old

One day in January 2010, I visited my grandfather (father of my mother) and my grandmother (grandmother of my wife). I can feel how happy they are with my presence, as well as myself. I can see despite their spirit remain alive, but I can not deny that their physical ability has decreased naturally. So, I start to think how if I'm getting old like them. While thinking of it, suddenly my mind remembered a touching story that was discovered by my family. Whatever I have feel and imagine, I pour it into this poetry. Hopefully your love to the elderly and your parents will be more. When I Get Old. When I spill vegetable broth on my clothes, when I no longer remember how to tie a tie, when I no longer remember how to tie shoelaces, remember the times how I taught and guided you to do that. When I am senile and constantly repeat words that bore you, please be patient to listen to me, do not interrupt me, in your childhood, with affection I kept repeating a fairy tale to you, which I have...

Mother's Day - A Tribute for Mother

Mother's job is 24 hours job, not paid, no days off, seldom appreciated, and impossible to resign , but still proud to be a mother. Welcoming Mother's Day on these May, DO NOT send your mother to nursing home. Before you want to do that, hold on! read this first! So... will you like to bring her back to your home-sweet-home for sharing the love, at least for these great moment. It's depend on you. Post Update 1 : Below, I quote a part of comments from LaVonda R. Bailey within this post which I think is her call to us: "... Women and children are always raped, killed and abused as a part of war and history proves this fact to be true. I have a problem with the government dropping bombs on women and children in Pakistan, because those are women who love and care for their children just like I do and it would be wrong for a country to drop bombs on my neighborhood and kill my children and we as women should believe and and work to stop war around the world so another wom...
