A new piece of software can spit out text that looks like it's been written by a human. The only problem is that ChatGPT very definitely makes mistakes. Does this AI breakthrough mean the web will soon be flooded with writing that is mediocre – or even plain wrong? — Photo: Sebastian Gollnow/dpaIn a matter of seconds after you type in a prompt, ChatGPT shoots back a well-formulated text. You can scarcely tell the difference from those written by humans.
Prognoses have been around for a long time now that artificial intelligence software will be replacing office workers, the way that factory automation once did with many manufacturing jobs. To date, machine learning has been used for auxiliary applications but seemed far from ready for main tasks. But knowledge questions can also be answered in complete sentences based on gathered information. Ask ChatGPT, for example, the age of the president of Australia, it will respond:"Australia does not have a president." Then, know-it-all fashion, it will add that Prime Minister Scott Morrison is 54.
At the same time, people intentionally creating false information are gaining a powerful tool. The technology is creating"limitless possibilities for formulating relatively plausible lies very quickly," Silicon Valley veteran Phil Libin warned at the Munich conference. This year will see"a wave of nonsense" engulfing us. Over time, AI will be better anchored in reality and will then profit from its capabilities.
