Some believe ChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence (AI) designed to take over the world. But AI isn’t new technology, and some people, like Huang Wei Zheng (main image), love using it.
Huang, 17, is preparing for university. He uses ChatGPT daily, although the time depends on what he uses it for.
“When I’m using it for a project, I might be on it for a few hours per day, but if not, just a few minutes,” Huang explained, adding that he used AI to build a website.
He told ChatGPT what he wanted the website to do, asking how he should do it.
However, ChatGPT can’t give you photographs and can only provide you with content from 2021 and earlier.
The OpenAI is also not trained to give opinions, so Huang recommends using other sources, such as Bing AI.
“I’ve never done a project like this before,” Huang added.
“The AI gave me a general overview of what to do, and I followed those steps to complete my website.”
He does not only use AI applications for projects but also entertainment.
Stable Diffusion, he said, is good at generating pictures and videos in whatever artistic style you choose.
He also uses AI for hypothetical scenarios, such as “What ifs” and “Can Is”. This results in some highly entertaining responses.
Many people have become addicted to AI, using it for everything, from work to entertainment and communication.
“In the beginning, it was addictive, but after a few months, it became just another tool for me to use,” Huang said.
He would recommend ChatGPT to casual users, as it is extremely useful.
While he loves the software, Huang lamented that AIs have limitations.
He admitted he does not trust everything that appeared on ChatGPT as, on multiple occasions, he received false information.
However, he is not worried about receiving fake facts from AI because he does not use it for important information. Sometimes, he double-checks the data and asks ChatGPT to cite its source.
The AI only provides the desired results about 70-80 per cent of the time. A good prompt would likely get what you want.
A bad prompt leads you away from your original inquiry and you could get different answers from just one question, as it could be misinterpreted.
ChatGPT is not the tool he would use for research. Letting ChatGPT control his life and tell him what to do is a solid no.
He said ChatGPT was not advanced enough and would not trust AI with life decisions.
Huang said Google is overrun by its search engine. On the other hand, when an AI is given the same question, it immediately produces results and answers without you having to look through multiple search engines.
“I haven’t become over-reliant on ChatGPT, at least not yet,” he said, smiling.
Right now, he is excited about a new project known as AutoGPT. You can tell the AI your end goal, and it will help you find ways to achieve that goal by breaking it into smaller sub-tasks for you to complete.
Huang may sound unusual, but many like him have come to use AI in their daily lives.
So, the question is, would you use ChatGPT?
