AI chatbots are now increasingly popular, with tens of millions of people flocking to apps like OpenAI's ChatGPT and GoogleWe spoke to cyber-expert Adam Pilton, who warned that the humanlike way chatbots talk makes them much more capable of deceiving us.
"A website doesn't respond to our specific requests whereas with the chatbot we feel like we're building a relationship because we can ask it specific questions.I'm desperate to see wife have sex with my best mate - how do I persuade her? But Adam warned that we must now adopt a "new way of life" where we don't trust AI chatbots – and instead verify what they tell us elsewhere.ChatGPT, which was launched in November 2022, was created by San Francisco-based startup OpenAI, an AI research firm.It can converse, generate readable text on demand and produce images and video based on what has been learned from a vast database of digital books, online writings and other media.
If you prompt it, for example ask it to “write a short poem about flowers,” it will create a chunk of text based on that request.It can handle very complicated prompts and is even being used by businesses to help with work.“ChatGPT is incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in 2022.
