When ChatGPT's Beta version was made available for public testing in November 2022, it instantly became a global sensation. The AI chatbot could write code, write poetry, write essays, create website content, create video scripts, and perform other activities while responding to any question in a human-like manner.
Just a few days ago, ChatGPT's upgraded and more potent version was revealed. The GPT-4 has already aced significant tests designed for humans and can accept visual inputs in addition to handling more difficult jobs than its predecessor. With the popularity of ChatGPT, many individuals have raised worries that the AI chatbot has the potential of displacing human jobs in the future.
Sam Altman, the creator of OpenAI and the parent firm of ChatGPT, acknowledges that ChatGPT may eventually displace some human occupations. But, he continues, "human imagination is unlimited, and we discover new jobs, new things to do.
Sam Altman admitted that he is "a little bit afraid" of his work in an interview with ABC News. He claimed that artificial intelligence would "reshape society" and pose some serious risks. The CEO did, however, add that AI has the potential to be "the greatest technology humanity has yet invented" and to, enhance our lives.
"Altman said, "We've got to be careful here. I believe people should be happy that we're a little bit terrified of this. If I stated I wasn't, I think you should either not believe me or be very sad that I had this job."
He also mentioned in the same interview that he is worried about the potential for artificial intelligence to be exploited to distribute incorrect information.
"I'm particularly concerned that widespread deception might be spread using these models. They could be exploited for offensive cyberattacks now that they are becoming better at writing computer code "said he.
The CEO of OpenAI further stated that although the AI tool is under human supervision, he is unsure of the specific humans who would be in charge of it.
The society, he continued, "has a limited amount of time to find out how to react to it, how to govern that, how to handle that." He stated that "there will be other individuals who don't place some of the safety limits that we put on."
According to ABC News, Altman acknowledged the prospect that AI could displace certain human employment and expressed concern about how quickly the transformation could occur.
"I believe that over a few generations, humanity has shown that it is remarkably capable of adjusting to significant technical changes. The aspect I'm most concerned about is if this occurs in a single-digit number of years, some of these adjustments "said he.
However, he advises using ChatGPT as a tool rather than as a substitute for actual human interaction. "The human imagination is boundless, and we create new jobs. We discover fresh activities, "said the CEO.
