ChatGPT has taken the world by storm as an interactive sentence-generating AI; what do its experts think of the future AI will create?
Please join us today. First of all, from an expert's point of view, what do you think is the current state of AI?
Furukawa: First of all, speaking of image recognition AI, there was an image recognition AI contest in the US in 2012, from which so-called deep learning, or deep learning, methods spread, and the rate of image recognition increased dramatically. And by 2015, it had already surpassed human recognition accuracy.
In the text domain, in June 2020, OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, announced GPT-3, the predecessor to ChatGPT, and from around 2020, large-scale language models, known as LLMs, began to appear, and GPT-3 had a massive 175 billion parameters. GPT-3 had 175 billion parameters.
From this stage, the quality has reached the point where it is already indistinguishable from human-created text. In fact, technically, the quality has already improved significantly since the late 2010s, and of course the accuracy is still improving, but we are not talking about a sudden increase in the performance of something in the last six months.
There are two major factors that have contributed to the current excitement of ChatGPT: one is that the general public can now easily access the conversational interface of chatting. The other is that the language barrier has been eliminated, as people can input in Japanese and get a response in Japanese.
Conventional interactive AIs can also input Japanese, but English is still a smoother way to get a response.
