Have you heard of this chat AI that responds to whatever you ask them as long as it is text-based?

Well, just a few days ago, I was able to find videos on TikTok talking about this chat AI. It is being reviewed and talked about in the world wide web. Not just because it is an AI but because of its responsiveness.

Actually I was amazed when I tried it. There's one comment of a reviewer that said "I wish this was created when I was still studying. I can sure make my life easier."

So, what was this AI all about. It is called the GPT Chat AI, released in 2021.

Using the Chat AI itself I was able to get information from it.

Explain more about GPT Chat AI.

GPT-Chat is a chatbot AI that uses OpenAI's GPT-3 language model to generate responses to users' messages. It is trained on a large dataset of human conversation, allowing it to understand and respond to a wide range of input in a natural and engaging way. It is designed to be able to hold intelligent conversations with users on a variety of topics, from general knowledge to current events to specific interests. GPT-Chat can be used as a standalone chatbot or as a component of a larger application or system.

Who created GPT Chat AI?

GPT-Chat is based on OpenAI's GPT-3 language model, which was developed by a team of researchers at OpenAI. GPT-3 is a state-of-the-art language processing system that uses deep learning techniques to generate human-like text. It was designed to be able to perform a wide range of language tasks, including translation, summarization, question answering, and conversation. It has been widely used in a variety of applications, including chatbots, language translation systems, and content generation systems.

Are there any pros and cons about GPT Chat AI?

As with any technology, there are both pros and cons to using GPT-3. Some of the potential benefits of using GPT-3 include:

• High performance: GPT-3 is a state-of-the-art language model that is able to generate human-like text and perform a wide range of language tasks with high accuracy.
• Flexibility: GPT-3 is a general-purpose model that can be used for many different tasks and applications.
• Ease of use: GPT-3 can be accessed via a simple API, making it easy for developers to use in their projects.

However, there are also some potential drawbacks to consider when using GPT-3:

• Cost: GPT-3 is a paid service, and the cost of using it can be significant for some applications.
• Bias: Like any machine learning model, GPT-3 has been trained on a dataset that may contain biases. This can result in biased output if the model is not used carefully.
• Lack of common sense: GPT-3 is very good at generating human-like text, but it does not have a deep understanding of the world or common sense knowledge that humans have. This can limit its ability to handle certain types of tasks or respond appropriately to certain types of input.
• Overall, GPT-3 is a powerful and useful tool that can be applied to many different tasks, but it is important to carefully consider the pros and cons and how it will be used in your specific application.

Where can we use GPT Chat AI?

GPT-3 is a general-purpose language processing system that can be used in a wide variety of applications. Some examples of how GPT-3 can be used include:

• Chatbots: GPT-3 can be used to build chatbots that can engage in intelligent conversations with humans.
• Language translation: GPT-3 can be used to translate text from one language to another.
• Content generation: GPT-3 can be used to generate human-like text, which can be used for tasks such as summarization, content creation, and article generation.
• Question answering: GPT-3 can be used to answer questions posed by users, using the information it has been trained on to provide accurate and relevant responses.
• Text classification: GPT-3 can be used to classify text into different categories based on its content.
• Sentiment analysis: GPT-3 can be used to analyze the sentiment of text and determine whether it is positive, negative, or neutral.

These are just a few examples of how GPT-3 can be used. The model is highly flexible and can be applied to many other tasks that involve processing and generating natural language text.

By simply using the GPT Chat AI, it can actually provide me an adequate information as long as it is within its parameters.

This might be interesting but of course, there's always the good side and the bad side of this technology.

TAIWAN, one of the world's competing country with a strong foundation in development and innovations continue to be a better role model for the Philippines in information and communications technology (ICT).  With its status in the global IT supply chain, Taiwan's almost three decades of existence as one of the player, as well as significant partner for many international brands including Apple, google, and Microsoft, earned them a huge success and source of pride in the ICT sector.

Recently, a press conference was held in Marriott Hotel for Taiwan Excellence, where top Taiwanese brands and IoT Business solutions were showcased in the said event.

It was shared that these different companies from Taiwan hold  a significant market shares in semiconductors, PCs, mobile devices, broadband appliances, and display products and technologies. Taiwan is the world’s largest supplier of these products, collectively contributing to over 16% of Taiwan’s total GDP.

With the rise of AI and IoT, Taiwan is shifting from an economy based on high-tech manufacturing, to an economy driven by intellectual property and innovation. Taiwan’s high-tech competitiveness includes top talent, a well-developed industrial chain, and a formidable entrepreneurial spirit. These elements combined enable Taiwan’s ICT industry to leverage today’s trends and pave the way for the technology of the future.

The ‘Taiwan Excellence’ experience, organized by the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) and the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA), will provide businesses ranging from small to large from the Philippines a platform to offer the latest IoT innovations, directly from leading Taiwanese IoT solutions providers. This is a great opportunity to consider how these solutions can enhance one’s own business offering.

The participating companies in this year’s Asia IoT Business Platform (AIBP) held at the Marriott Hotel, Manila are: Accton Technology Corp., a best practice awardee for manufacturing quality; Apacer Technology Inc., a leading producer of industrial SSDs, digital consumer products, and memory modules; Aver Information, award-winning education and communication innovators; ICP DAS, an industrial automation technology innovator and enhancer; and, IEI Integration Corp., a leading industrial computer provider.

‘Taiwan Excellence’ is confident in the Philippines’ ability to progress in ICT, as indicated by its IT sector’s steady spending.

“We see progress in the Philippines’ ICT sector and Taiwan will be happy to contribute to this growth and help Filipino enterprises further succeed in their operations,” said Wen-Chung Chang, Director of the Economic Division, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the Philippines.

Taiwan is determined to advocate for innovation, improve employment and income distribution, and to create more balanced regional development, by leveraging the immense momentum of many markets, at present.

According to Swiss-based International Institute for Management Development (IMD), Taiwan moves up to 16th in global competitiveness, a notch higher from the previous year’s ranking. Furthermore, Taiwan has steadily maintained its place as the 4th most competitive economy in Asia as declared in the 2019 IMD World Competitiveness Ranking. With many software and hardware engineers and technological centers and innovation clusters growing organically throughout major Taiwanese cities, Taiwan is on its way to becoming a major startup hub in Asia, and even internationally.


Just how substantial is the potential global economic impact of IoT?

Citing a research report by McKinsey & Company’s Global Institute, ‘Taiwan Excellence’ said the estimate could range to “$3.9 trillion to $11 trillion a year by 2025”. McKinsey has continued a significant expansion In Taiwan with the recently launched regional industrial IoT hub in Taipei, due to its rapid growth in the past 18 months.

Factories could be the strongest driving force behind IoT’s generated value, followed by cities and health.

Just months after it officially launched its Philippine operations, the Aster Medical and Diagnostics Clinic, owned by Aster DM Healthcare, is revolutionizing how medical services is being offered in the country through the introduction of the electronic medical records (EMR) as part of the value-add to its services. All transactions are paperless, from the moment patients sign in at the reception up to their consultations with the doctor, or different doctors at the clinic.
