OpenAI will begin selling the text generation technology and Reddit will be the first customers
The OpenAI research workshop has announced its first commercial product, the AI text generation system that the tools previously warnt were too dangerous to share, as they started as a non profit to mitigate the potential harm of artificial intelligence.
The work of OpenAI on text generation was very much applauded following the lab's February last year release of GPT-2 text generator. The project was widely considered to be a major step forward. Users are able to enter any text prompt in GPT-2 — a few lines of a song, a short story, even a scientific paper — and the app will keep writing to some degree, matching style and content.
OpenAI initially limited GPT 2 release because of system concerns, such as mass generation of false news and spam, would be used for malice purposes. It then published the full code and stated that it "were not showing a strong sign of misuse." This year it announced a hundred time larger, more advanced version of the system, called GPT-3, which has been converted into its first commercial product.
Invitations are limited to accessing the GPT-3 API, and prices are not determined. Nor is it clear precisely how the device might be used, except for OpenAI itself. The API can be used to enhance chatbots' fluence, create new gaming experiences and more.
AI text generators like GPT-3 are used to analyze a vast body of texts and to know how to predict letters and words. This sounds like a simple approach to learning, but it produces unbelievably flexible and varied software.
A number of tools, from chatbots to texts based dungeon generators, for example, were generated with the GPT-2,. And because it learns how to generate data simply by searching at past examples, it can also be optimized at playing chess with the right training and solving mathematical problems.
To date OpenAI claims around a dozen users in the GPT-3 API.
This includes the search provider Algolia, which uses the API to improve the comprehension of natural language search queries; the Koko platform for mental medicine, which analyzes it when users are experiencing 'crisis; and Replika, which constructs 'AI compañeros.'
OpenAI says it slowly takes things and keeps an eye on malicious uses before making the API available to everyone, as with its initial launch of GPT-2. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said Bloomberg, "I don't know exactly how long it will take!" "We prefer to be too slow rather than too fast. We 're going to err, and we're going to learn.
The news of the release of the API is not only a step forward in a promising field of machine learning, it is also a milestone in OpenAI's company history.
While the laboratory was established in 2015 as a nonprofit company, it moved its business model back to 2019 and established a profit-oriented company called OpenAI LP, which the laboratory leaders said needed to attract investment (including $1 billion for Microsoft) needed to fund its ambitious work. However, some AI investigators criticized the move and said that it undermined the claim that AI "is advantageous" to all humankind in the laboratory ..
Now that the company has moved deeper into the commercial arena, we must look closely at how this new line of work affects the goals of its research.
