Exploring the AI Revolution: Bing, Bard, and ChatGPT Take the Stage

Ever heard of Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI? They’re the big players in the tech world. Microsoft has its Bing AI (and Copilot), Google has Bard, and OpenAI has ChatGPT-4. These cool tech wizards are taking AI chatbots, which used to be super secret, and making them available for regular folks like us.

So, how does this tech magic work? OpenAI’s GPT-3 spilled the beans: AI uses some smart programs that work like auto-complete on your phone. They learn how words go together by studying lots of sentences. Then, armed with this knowledge, they try to guess what words you’ll type next.

But here’s the twist, according to our friend James Vincent: These AI gizmos are like really clever auto-complete experts. They predict which words should come after each other in a sentence. But they don’t have a treasure chest of definite facts. Instead, they’re all about making sentences sound nice. The trouble is, they can sometimes say stuff that sounds true but isn’t really.

Now, get ready for the fun part. There’s a whole lot more to this AI story, and there might be a few bumps along the way. But guess what? We’re right here in the front row, watching it all happen. So, stick around for the show! Bye for now!
