Although more than a hundred million people have tried
ChatGPT
since it was enabled worldwide, the capabilities of this revolutionary tool still raise many questions. What is it?
Is he really smart?
What is it for?
What should be asked and in what way?
Basically it is a chat system based on the AI language model, which is fed by algorithms and predictive text to create original content.
The new version (
GPT-4
) processes up to 25,000 words,
about eight times more
than the previous one.
To interview this digital oracle, you will first have to enter the site, enter an email, verify the account, enter a phone number and enter the PIN that is received via text message.
All ready.
“Although chatbots are programmed with specific answers, people prefer to ask them generic questions.
This is how Generative Neural Networks were born, such as Google's ChatGPT or Bard, which achieve a greater breadth in their expressions”, highlights
Marcela Riccillo
, doctor in computer science, expert in AI and robotics.
The ChatGPT interface, in detail.
With no limits to insistence, you can demand all the clarifications you require, without paying a penny.
If the argument you are using is somewhat vague, you will have to
rephrase the sentence
until you understand the idea.
All chats are saved in a history.
“Generative chatbots –adds Riccillo- compose their sentences
using words as puzzle tiles
.
But they do not understand, feel, or know if what they return is correct.
To create the texts, they combine information from the data that was used for their training.”
ChatGPT: why use it
The software has as many uses as the imagination allows.

ChatGPT's ability to
understand the context
and intent behind each query makes it a very useful tool for developing chatbots, improving accuracy in search systems, and generating reviews in the form of articles or answers.
Unlike the Google search engine, which
stores the pages
on a server,
ChatGPT memorizes all the information
.
His replies are expressed naturally, with detailed information, which makes it
very difficult to distinguish
that the text was generated by an AI.
“These chatbots are currently being incorporated into
Internet search engines
.
The idea is that a summary response is generated instead of delivering a list of sites in columns by importance”, warns Riccillo.
One of the most seductive aspects of ChatGPT is its ability to work within certain imposed limits.
For example, you can be asked to define some concept in 10 statements.
Another option is
to copy entire articles or notes to summarize them
in, for example,
100 words or three main ideas.
These concrete numbers make the AI sometimes work better and not overextend itself.
In turn, it is capable of
reviewing already written code and not only detecting errors
, but also helps to understand the error through some concrete examples.
Just paste the text and tell it to debug the code.
Unlike online translators, Chat GPT divides the text into smaller units, such as words or phrases, and applies its neural network to generate the translation based on context and meaning.
“When a text is translated, it is convenient to check the results produced by generative chatbots, since it is known that they can make mistakes.
Creativity, common sense and experience continue to be attributes of humans, which the machine does not have and may never have”, summarizes Riccillo.
ChatGPT: how to ask the right questions
Questions can be asked from mobile or web browser.

One of the keys to communication is in the
assembly of the
prompt
.
The term refers to the "input" or message that initiates the request.
This input can be an order, a question, a statement, or even a topic of conversation.
“ChatGPT is a language model that can be trained with specific data for each work area.
An example is
to provide the prompt with an article and text related to the topic to be discussed
.
By doing this, the model will be able to generate more precise and relevant answers”, says Mauro Avendaño, director of Digital Technology Argentina.
Another of the virtues of ChatGPT is that it can be adapted to the level of knowledge of the interlocutor.
The more complex the requests, the better results can be obtained
.
The essential thing is to provide clear and concise instructions.
“To receive more precise conclusions, it is advisable to be very specific.
For example, instead of asking
what is happening in the world?
it is more accurate to say
what happened in the last Security Council of the UN?
This prevents the model from dispersing into generalities”, suggests Avendaño.
In addition, it is possible to generate dynamics between the chatbot and the user to simulate certain situations or scenarios where the AI can, for example, assume the role of a god, a public figure or a 17th century astronomer: "What did Galileo Galilei think? about the religion of his time?
"In the more technical and detailed aspect, the prompt has certain adjustable parameters to improve the responses according to what we expect from them," explains Avendaño and lists:
The "max_length" parameter controls the maximum length of the response.
If you need a short answer, set a low value.
The "temperature" parameter controls the randomness of the response.
A low value makes the response more predictable, and a high value makes the response more surprising and creative.
The "top_p" parameter controls the cumulative probability of the words generated in the response.
It can be used to generate more accurate and consistent responses, setting "top_p" to 0.1.
"Repetition_penalty" controls the penalty for repetition of words or phrases in the generated response.
"Num_beams" controls the number of responses that are generated simultaneously.
“Min_length" controls the minimum length of the generated response.
