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.

HIV / AIDS - Shame Or Disease

The first known case of HIV in Indonesia was from a foreign tourist in Bali in 1987 and now has reached a level that is very concerned. According to State Minister of Development Planning / Chairperson of the National Development Planning Agency (Indonesian: Menteri Negara Perencanaan Pembangunan/Kepala Bappenas), Paskah Suzetta, in 2004, AIDS cases are only found in 16 provinces, but at the end of the year 2007 the same case was found in 32 provinces in Indonesia. There has been many studies on the obstacles in dealing with HIV disease. But in this post, I will see it from the viewpoint of social stigma in eastern culture. There is paradigm (in this case from my personal observation in Indonesia) that should be overcome particularly to the matters related to sexually transmitted disease, that is: Feel ashamed if infected by HIV because that was considered as venereal disease, therefore the sufferer tend to close himself. Feel ashamed to be considered as committing adultery. There is a...

The Essence Of Blogging

Previously... when I am browsing on the internet, I often faced with the passive site, which it only gave one-way communication. Read and finish, afterwards gone to other site (also read and finish). The only things that could be done was, click "Contact Us" and sent a message to the author. Then... emerge the messenger's technology, like mIRC, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Messenger, etc. (referred to "chatting"). Indeed this was the two-way communication, but still not enough to keep tons of our thought and idea permanently. Now... by using the service from Blogspot, Wordpress, TypePad, LiveJournal, Facebook, Twitter, etc. it create a cyberspace with more live and enjoy. Anyone could share their thoughts, idea, story, and interact with each other in manner of two-ways. Moreover there are those who wrote "Welcome to my home" in a blog. I feel like visiting my neighbor although they were very far from me. I thought cyberspace has been get up from the the si...

Cause and effect - an musing

Why I write this post?? Because I see a lot of enmity actions, ugly debate, until the human tragedy that is the attack on the twin tower of World Trade Center (often referred to as WTC 9/11). Also flood disaster in China, India, United States, Indonesia and other countries. There were many horrifying incidents throughout the history of human life until today. What the wrong? Okay... okaaay, you can says that is the foolish question. Here, I write several happening which I worry about. According to you whether it is true of the cause and effect below: CAUSE -- EFFECT -- CAUSE Global warming. Cause: gas emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). I ever heard a joke: Too many human cause human body also produces warm. Just feel in a room (3x4 M) with 1 person and with 20 person. Flood and landslide. Cause: cutting down the forest carelessly. Conflict, war, terrorism. Cause: egoism, claim on the truth. Pssst... I rarely heard the claim on the mistake (ha..ha..)....
