Start here – What Really Lies Behind the Word ChatGPT
Here I will talk only about OpenAI, although several companies are already working on developing artificial intelligence.
I chose this particular company because it is ideal for my tasks and goals. Perhaps other companies suit some people better, in which case this educational article of mine will be less interesting to them.
Although I think it may be interesting to everyone, even if you do not like OpenAI or the people who work there.
Moreover, it is not a given that I will never switch to other models from other companies. But for now, this option suits me, and I do not understand why I would need to change it.
There are already quite a few factors behind this. For example, I really like the appealing people who work at OpenAI. You can look at them yourselves. They sometimes give presentations together, and simply observing these people is fascinating in itself.
It feels as though you are seeing people who are already fairly grown-up, yet have not lost the ability to be children.
Perhaps that is exactly what is needed now to create such incredible, almost cosmic-level things that many people still do not understand. And that is why many choose a strategy of fearing this unknown.
Some people choose to fear that they will someone controlling and interfering in your private life. That is why I will start right from this point.
And here we have two ways of working with artificial intelligence models: one option is using the internet, and the second is without using the internet.
In the second case, no one sees your personal data. Everything happens on your computer. You can live somewhere in a tent in the forest and use artificial intelligence like an ordinary program without internet access. That means no one sees you or knows about you. You live somewhere in a tent, in a village, and do not make even one percent of your information publicly available or share it anywhere else.
So, I repeat, there are two ways to use artificial intelligence.
The first: on your computer, without using the internet. No one knows anything about you; you do not provide anyone with your surname, first name, or any other information. You do whatever you want on your computer while using artificial intelligence, just as you use any other program.
This option exists. You can find instructions online on how to do it. Perhaps I will get around to it someday and explain it here.
But for now, I use more powerful models that run on more powerful computers on the internet. In other words, I use the services of more powerful models and servers to process my requests more effectively.
For those who are afraid, that his personal data might end up somewhere, there is another option: simply install the relevant program on your computer and use it.
Of course, this requires applying some intelligence. Many people do not use it and choose the strategy of fear, which is much easier and more convenient because it often explains human inertia.
If you have decided on the model and the company, there are then different levels of interaction with artificial intelligence.
Of course, the most basic one is the chat format. That is, essentially, why the name ChatGPT became established. You communicate with artificial intelligence at the chat level: you write, and you receive a response.
By the way, this works roughly the same way with all companies. In other words, this is the basic level, and most often it is more entertainment-oriented. People simply play around and, as they say, calm down once they have had enough.
And, essentially, this is merely a light touch with artificial intelligence, which, in principle, still does not provide a genuine understanding of what it actually is.
So, the first level is the chat level. A person writes a message and receives a response. Essentially, this is practically the level of a search engine.
By the way, search engines now already display on their first pages precisely what artificial intelligence says. In other words, if you enter a query into Yandex, Google, or any other search engine, for example, “What is Tarot?”, then at first you willartificial intelligence will provide the answer, and then some websites will appear.
In fact, artificial intelligence will also provide you with websites. And this is where we can already see the future: most likely, in the near future, websites will be presented based on the work of artificial intelligence. In other words, this is already a more advanced level.
Because the regular Google search engine is also artificial intelligence in a certain sense, only more primitive.
So how did you search for answers before? You would type a question into Google and get an endless list of websites. You would click on them and then read articles or watch videos there.
Now this is a new level of artificial intelligence. Essentially, it is the same principle of searching for information, but much more convenient.
Nevertheless, I want to emphasize once again that you have already been using artificial intelligence for at least 20 years, if not longer. In other words, there has been no dramatic or abrupt transition—everything happened rather gradually.
Ask a question—get an answer. That was the main function used before. And gradually, it began to develop.
And the second point of contact is no longer simply getting an answer, but obtaining some kind of solution, some kind of action—getting something that you previously spent your time on.
And this is where the transition to a higher level than a mere search engine takes place.
Before, you would enter a query, for example: “Find a picture of Mowgli.” And Googleused to offer you various images. You would copy the one you liked, paste it, for example, into Instagram, write your own text—and you would have a post with an image.
Now you can do exactly the same thing simply by telling an artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT: “Create an image of Mowgli.”
It will create several image options for you; you choose the best one, post it on Instagram, write your message, and send it.
In other words, it has become much more convenient. You no longer need to spend dozens of minutes searching for an image you like. Moreover, you do not need to figure out whether the image you found is protected by copyright.
And, just as before, the search engine remembered your preferences. So if you often search for pictures of cats, it will be more likely to offer you websites and images related to cats.
Like a search engine, it can also remember where you are from—for example, your country or region. In fact, some of this data was already available to services if you agreed to provide it.
Let me remind you that an artificial intelligence model can be installed on your computer and used without connecting to the internet.
But if you are concerned about your personal information—for example, if you do not want to be identified by your first name, surname, or other data—you can restrict this in the privacy settings.
If you allowed the service to use certain information, it means that you gave your consent to this yourselfconsent. Therefore, the issue here is not so much fear or interference in your private life, but rather what specific permissions you grant yourself.
If you do not want certain personal data to be used, simply disable the corresponding settings wherever possible. In other words, remove the permissions you do not need and leave only those you genuinely agree to.
When you install a program, look at the checkboxes. For example, you install a program, and there is already a checkbox selected to install a particular browser. You deselect it, and the browser is not installed.
It is exactly the same here. In reality, no one is violating your personal boundaries. You yourself allow what happens to happen.
These are very serious matters, and no one has the right to violate them. You are always entitled simply to use or not use artificial intelligence. Not to use Google, not to use Yandex, not to use anything else at all. You have the right not to go online, to live in a village—that is your personal right.
So, the most basic level consists of these two points.
First: you ask, and you receive an answer based on a vast knowledge base—one could say, at the level of all humanity.
And second: you already begin to save a great deal of time, for example, when creating images, music, and other content.
I can say that most people, approximately 90 percent, do not go beyond these two points. They do not need anything else. Some do not even move on to the second point—they are quite satisfied with the first.
There is no need to go to either Google or Yandex. They simply open ChatGPT, ask a question, and get an answer.
And, of course, when ChatGPT knows more about you, it can give you more accurate and useful answers. But, I repeat once again, all of this can be disabled.
The question is why.
When, for example, a doctor knows as much as possible about you, or your lawyer knows as much as possible about your court case, you have a better chance of receiving genuinely useful assistance.
Of course, if you have some criminal past—or even a criminal present—then it probably makes sense to be wary of such programs.
Because you need to live according to the law—any law, whether cosmic or earthly—and not violate it. Then you will have nothing to fear, especially not the fact that someone might know your surname.
And I can even provisionally divide people into two categories. The first consists of people who are actually doing bad things. The second consists of those who are looking for such people. Both groups understand the value of anonymity.
It really does exist as a need. But you must understand that absolute anonymity is, first of all, practically impossible, and secondly, for an ordinary person who lives peacefully and does not break the law, it is most often simply unnecessary.
If you have something to fear, It is worth considering how rightly you are living. Then there will be nothing to fear.
Just think about it: you come to a clinic to see some doctor and have no idea what his name is. You know absolutely nothing about him.
And the doctor himself tells you: “I won’t tell you anything about myself, because you must respect my personal boundaries and my privacy. Don’t pry into my life by trying to find out about me and my personal life, such as my first and last name...”
That is absurd. It is utopian. That will never happen.
I’ll continue soon.
