As a researcher and writer, I am interested in ChatGPT for curiosity sake, for now. I do not recommend it for academic or professional research.
And no, ChatGPT will not replace human writers and researchers. AI technologies were invented and trained by humans, and they will always need humans to use them!

For now, it's better to wait and see how things pan out in the academic/business research spheres. As for folks in the blogosphere and other content creators, Bon apetit!

That's NOT true! ChatGPT is not a search engine, but a text generator that's what's they termed it 'generative' . The difference between the two is like the difference between 1 and 50. ChatGPT reasons just the same way humans think, reason, analyse and change their mind.

Smiles...
ChatGPT don't reason or think okay (meaning: It uses informational input to make predictions, but it's not aware of what it's doing). it only use this pre-existing data to respond to queries, only that it does so in a novel and based on pattern it has been trained to do so.

That is why when CHATGPT was launched, it could not respond to queries beyond the year 2021, and that is because all the data it has been fed or trained with, are not beyond that year.

The major difference between ChatGPT and Google is that ChatGPT is an AI bot that excels in natural language processing and human-like response, while Google is a search engine that fetches information relevant to a query from billions of web pages.

However, the similarities between the both are also profound, They both get their queries from the millions of data on the Internet.

So Yes, CGPT is not Search engine, but it is built on the same principle that search engine is built...

And that is what I mean when I said it is not different...

obviously, If it doesn't casually generate links, then it cannot be term as a Search machine, but in the real sense, it does perform the function of a "Search" when it dishes out Pre-trained and cumulated information from the internet to you.

As someone who consults for organizations and several individuals on academic and professional research.

I can tell you of the excitement I got when I found out about ChatGPT in November, but this excitement was short-lived because of a serious discovery that could not make me ever use this technology on client work which I am privileged to work on.

The honest truth is that we are all lazy, including the expert too, and having a tool that seems to fix that looks like a relief, but as a senior colleague told me, work will continue to work even with or without the tool. My first discovery was from a work that I thought I have finished fast and after passing it to our standard and compliance department. It has to be returned because it was obviously a lazy job.

You heard that right, not just human that is lazy but AI too, many of the words were just repeated over again. Which was terrible. Doing proper academic research will never have resulted in that.

Second is that the tool was never designed to be used for academic or professional research as it has no reference nor the source original. So this thereby doubles the work of then looking for the material it source, yet the plagiarism is high.

The third which I will rap up to another day is that it is not designed to be perfect many research works are often specific and this tool is just not going to understand that. I could remember asking it obvious details about the CEO of OpenAI the company that designed it and missing it. So relying on such for your academic research can be a disaster, and finally, remember the model it is working with is not updated so you want to desist from using such tools and rather do it yourself or consult a professional.

In conclusion, I am not de-selling the efficacy of the tools. I think it is really powerful and can have a lot of impacts but just trying to enlight you that this generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) with the limited response should not replace during proper research if you want to contribute to the tree of knowledge in your discipline

You are definitely using the free version. The Premium version is way more smarter and more accurate.

It can replace anything. It is only a matter of time. Just twenty years ago, there were no phones with inbuilt cameras, radios, torchlight, gps systems, audio and video players etc. Technology keeps advancing. ChatGPT will be redundant within the next 20 years because more awesome inventions would have been made.

that's not creativity, that's simply emulation. What someone already did before it copied. Only humans can create. If it is truly creative then it should be able to create a cure for cancer or time travel maybe. Check out Iron Man for instance, Tony does the creativity, all J.A.R.V.I.S does is help him with calculations and necessary questions with already available answers that Tony doesn't know.

Wrong. Even the latest version of chatGPT (Gpt-4) has been known to hallucinate and makes up facts which aren't true, although it rarely happens when compared to Gpt-3.5 which is the free version. Do you know it makes up its own citations? I used it for a project earlier today and after asking it for citations, I noticed something was off and so I did a Google search on one of the references and surprisingly, the journal doesn't exist and when I asked chatGPT about it, it said "I made an error and after further investigation, I discovered the author didn't publish any article about the topic you asked, but here's the right reference", and then it provided me with another reference and after doing a Google search, I still ran into the same problem. I don't have access to my history right now but you can try asking it to write about a research topic with citations, then Google search one of the references and you will see what I'm talking about. Don't forget to ask it why the reference it provided is inaccurate
