- a little order in the chaos where the mind dwells
|
As it turns out ChatGPT has quite a few problems. So for the time being I am only using it for things I already have skills to which to verify the veracity of what it outputs. That puts the ChatGPT And Me series of posts on indefinite hold. I am still playing around with ChatGPT for programming uses, however the progress is slow as I decided to restructure the Learning a new Programming Language with ChatGPT more than once and thus did not spend the little time I have outside of work on rewrite of the site.
So for the three new projects I 'launched' in February of last year one on hold, two I'm still working on. News years resolution: post progress reports in some timely manner. I am focused on relaunching the site as the priority before I work on any other personal projects. So for now that is my focus. posted by dharh 5:04 PM Jan 16th, 2024

The History of AI: To better understand the significance of ChatGPT, it's essential to explore the history of artificial intelligence. The field of AI has its roots in the 1950s, when the concept of "thinking machines" was first introduced. Early AI research focused on rule-based systems and logic programming, eventually giving way to more sophisticated techniques such as machine learning and deep learning. Over the decades, AI development has been marked by cycles of optimism and skepticism, as researchers have made significant advances followed by periods of stagnation. Large Language Models and OpenAI: In recent years, the development of large-scale language models has revolutionized the field of AI. These models, such as OpenAI's GPT series, employ deep learning techniques to process and generate human-like text. OpenAI, founded in 2015, has been at the forefront of this revolution, with the release of GPT-2 in 2019 and GPT-3 in 2020, both of which garnered widespread attention for their unprecedented language capabilities. With the release of GPT-4, OpenAI has pushed the boundaries of natural language processing even further. ChatGPT: ChatGPT is a powerful AI language model developed by OpenAI, based on the GPT-4 architecture. It can engage in human-like conversations, generating contextually relevant and coherent responses. The potential applications for ChatGPT are vast, ranging from virtual assistants and customer support to content generation and creative writing. However, the ethical implications of such advanced AI technology must also be considered, as the potential for misuse and the impact on jobs and society at large cannot be ignored.

As I have mentioned before I have been working, albeit slowly, on finally finishing the conversion of the site from ColdFusion to C#.NET. By and by recently chatGPT has roared onto the internet with a bang, might even say a BING, and although code assist AI, with github, has been in a sort of beta state for the last several months (or even year?) I have thought that a way to revitalize my enthusiasm for working on this site is the start to mess around with it.
As such I have decided to do multiple things. One is to try to use chatGPT while I work in the C# code for this site and document the journey in so doing. Two, since programming and philosophy are some of the main focuses of the site, I will create a series called ChatGPT And Me (initially called Chatting With ChatGPT) where I will post various chats that I have with chatGPT on a wide range of subjects. Three, I will revive the Learning a new Programming Language series with chatGPT at the helm with critiques from me. I'm hoping this will be fun and interesting for both me and any audience there might be. posted by dharh 12:45 AM Feb 22nd, 2023
