Hi Professor Nick, can you introduce ChatGPT?

Sure. ChatGPT is a Conversational Artificial Intelligent (AI) bot. You can ask questions or requests.

It understands human languages and can respond to you in a natural and speedy way after processing your requests. Why is it so powerful? It’s equipped with NLP i.e., Natural Language Processing which is the capability of translating human languages into something a machine can understand.

It’s also made ready for Machine Learning with algorithms and data that imitates human beings to learn and also improves the accuracy over time. It can answer questions, summarize content and write programs and so on.

Its productivity is so high that people are shocked and also concerned by the disruptive innovation. It’s a sudden change that the tasks can be finished within a few seconds rather than consuming 4-5 hours for completion in the past.

With such substantial improvement, it would affect some of the jobs which require professional knowledge and skills in the past. Indeed, productivity is raised and fewer headcount is required. In addition, cost of getting the detailed response from AI is much lower than employing a permanent staff.

It’s such a fascinating tool for increasing productivity. Will it make some of the jobs obsolete in the coming three to five years? What are the jobs that are at most risk? Consequently, there are different levels of impact depending on the types of job.

Can you tell me some of the strengths?

The strengths are so many. ChatGPT can help you completing different tasks and solving problems efficiently.

What you need to do is to prompt a question to the AI bot. As it has been trained on a large dataset of conversational text from websites and books, it’ll feedback you within just a few seconds like a human writer. You can understand the reply easily and straightly.

It’s different from the experience of using search engine because the answer from AI bot is already summarized after analyzing billion of text data rather than providing you numerous result links for your clicking. You can understand the answer easily because it replies you through human-like conversations.

What are some of the weaknesses?

It has been trained on massive text data from the websites. As some or a few websites may contain biases and errors, the outputs may display incorrect, inappropriate and misleading information because the quality of sources of data may vary.

If you found that the answer was not the truth, please express negative feedback to the bot so that it can learn and improve continually. Through your feedback, the reinforcement learning is activated and it’s able to correct it next time. Most of the time, the output is incredibly correct.

If I’m a programmer, developer or software engineer, how will the AI bot affect me?

ChatGPT is able to write computer program based on your required programming language. It can build webpages, applications and games in a few seconds.

You can further ask the questions for finetuning the requirement e.g., adding more features. It can help on the basic programming tasks and increase the productivity of programmers. You can focus more on other value-added skills and tasks such as artificial intelligence and technological innovation. Due to the high efficiency, number of entry-level programmers can be largely reduced in the future.

If I’m a journalist, writer and researcher, how will the AI bot help me?

As it’s very strong in performing analysis from a vast dataset of conversational text, there’s no doubt that it can write and summarize content with different topics within a few seconds.

If you prompt a question, it can propose the framework of the article. If you further chat with the bot on the details of framework, it can provide you the in-depth skeleton. In addition, if you provide long article, it can save you much of the time in drafting summary.

From creativity point of view, it’s not capable to create new ideas and perspectives because its source is based on existing text data. It can raise your productivity of preparing draft material. Next, you can enrich the content by adopting creativity and style of your professional writing.

If I’m a financial analyst, how will the AI bot affect me?

It’s a powerful tool which can perform analysis from large amounts of numerical data.

The generation of reports with detailed insight, prediction and recommendation is just within seconds. Such recommendation, which is based on a mix of factors, is able to lower the investment risk of the overall portfolio’s values. It’s undeniable that being a financial analyst will be influenced by the technological innovation.

If I’m a teacher, how will the AI bot affect me?

It can answer different questions from existing text data. Students can actually get the answers from the AI bot rather than that they do the homework by themselves. It becomes a temptation to students.

It’s so convenient for students to ask for the help of AI bot by accessing the simple platform. If a student finally uses such automated writing tool to prepare for paper, it’s deemed as cheating. In the future, there should be ways from schools and universities to disallow such behaviour because it’s actually not fair to students who complete the homework by themselves.

In turn, students should make use of the strong AI tool to learn, explore and absorb the new knowledge efficiently. Similar to different search engines, students can learn by themselves anytime through the simple AI platform.

Being a teacher, you’ll be intimidated by the AI because students will make use of the strengths frequently and get their answers in the long run. It actually affects the way of educating students because the dependency on teacher will be lowered gradually.

Last but not the least, the technologies will continue to improve and get mature. The application of conversational AI will be widely adopted due to the improved accuracy and customer experience. Everyone should keep track of the impact as it’ll change the choice of profession in the employment market.

WITH CHINESE SCRIPT

嗨，Nick 教授，您能介紹一下ChatGPT嗎？

當然可以，ChatGPT是一種對話式人工智能(AI)機械人，您可以提出問題或要求。

它能理解人類語言，在處理完您的要求後，能夠以自然、快速的方式回覆您。為什麼這麼厲害？它配備了NLP，即自然語言處理，能夠將人類語言翻譯成機械人可以理解的東西。

它亦是配備機器學習，其演算法和數據可以模仿人類學習並隨著時間提升準確度，它可以回答問題、撮要內容和編寫程式等。

它的生產力是如此之高，人們感到震驚，亦對這顛覆性的創新而擔憂，這是一個突發的變化，工作可以在幾秒鐘內完成，而不是過去需要4-5個小時才能完成。

如此大幅度的改善，會影響到一些過去需要專業知識和技能的工作，事實上，生產率提高了，需要的員工人數也可減少。此外，從AI獲得詳細資料的成本遠低於僱用固定員工的成本。

這是一個提高生產力的極好工具，它會在未來三到五年內令一些工作崗位消失嗎？風險最大的工作是什麼？結果，根據工作類型的不同，影響程度也有不同。

您能告訴我ChatGPT的一些優點嗎？

優點太多了，ChatGPT可以幫助您高效地完成不同的工作和解決問題。

您需要做的是向AI機械人提出問題，由於它已經接受了來自網站和書籍的大量對話文本的訓練，它會像人類作家一樣在幾秒鐘內給您反饋，您可以輕鬆直接地理解回覆。

這與使用搜索引擎的體驗不同，因為AI機械人的答案已經分析了數十億文本數據之後進行了總結，而不是為您提供大量結果的連結供您點擊，您可以很容易地理解答案，因為它通過類似人類的對話來回答您。

ChatGPT有哪些弱點？

它已經接受了來自網站的大量文本數據的培訓，由於部份或少數網站可能包含傾向和錯誤的資訊，結果可能會顯示不正確、不適當和誤導性的信息，因為數據來源的質量可能會有所不同。

如果您發現答案不是真實的，請向機械人表達負面反饋，以便它不斷學習和改進，通過您的反饋，強化學習被激活，並可以在下次進行更正，於大多數時候，反饋的結果是非常正確的。

如果我是一名程式編寫員、開發人員或軟件工程師，AI機械人將如何影響我？

ChatGPT能夠根據您需要的編程語言編寫計算機程式，它可以在幾秒鐘內構建網頁、應用程式和遊戲。

您可以進一步詢問以微調要求的問題，例如添加更多功能，它可以幫助完成基本的編程工作並提高程式員的工作效率，您可更專注於其他增值技能和工作，例如人工智能和科技創新，由於效率高，未來可大大減少初級程式員的數量。

如果我是一名記者、作家和研究員，AI機械人將如何幫助我？

由於它對大量對話文本數據集進行強大的分析，毫無疑問，它可以在幾秒鐘內編寫和總結不同主題的內容。

如您提示問題，它可以提出文章的框架，如您進一步與機械人討論框架的細節，它可以為您提供深入的框架，另外，如提供長篇文章，它可以節省您很多寫摘要的時間。

從創造力的角度來看，它無法創造新的想法和觀點，因為它的來源是基於現有的文本數據，它可以提高您準備草稿材料的效率，接下來，您可採用專業寫作的創意和風格來豐富內容。

如果我是金融分析師，AI機械人將如何影響我？

它是一個強大的工具，可以對大量數值的數據進行分析。

只需幾秒鐘即可生成包含詳細洞察、預測和建議的報告，這種基於多種因素的推薦能夠降低整體投資組合價值的投資風險，不可否認，作為一名金融分析師會受到科技創新的影響。

如果我是一名教師，AI機械人將如何影響我？

它可以回答來自現有文本數據的不同問題，學生實際上可以從人工智能機械人那裡得到答案，而不是他們自己做的功課，這對學生來說是一種誘惑。

學生通過這簡單的平台來尋求AI機械人的幫助，是非常方便，如學生最終使用這種自動寫作工具來準備論文，那將被視為作弊。將來，學校和大學應該須有辦法禁止這種行為，因為這實際上對由自己完成作業的學生不公平。

反過來，學生應該利用強大的人工智能工具有效地學習、探索和吸收新知識，類似於不同的搜索引擎，學生可以通過簡單的人工智能平台隨時自學。

作為一名教師，您會被人工智能嚇倒，因為長遠學生會經常利用這些優勢並得到答案，它實際上影響了教育學生的方式，因為對老師的依賴會逐漸降低。

最後但並非最不重要的是，這些科技將不斷改進並走向成熟，由於提高了準確性和客戶體驗，對話式人工智能的應用將被廣泛採用，每個人都應該留意其影響，因為它將改變就業市場的職業選擇。
