Exploring the Opportunities and Risks of ChatGPT through Intelligent Dialogue Interpretation

        Have you played ChatGPT? This most robust AI application has attracted the attention of billions of users worldwide in just two months since its launch. Compared to previous chat robots, the charm of ChatGPT lies in its ability to naturally understand and generate language like humans, and its self-learning ability; Relatively speaking, the hidden risks are also more worrying. How will it utilize the data? Will sensitive data be transmitted to others? In this issue of "Information Network", we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of ChatGPT with you.

        ChatGPT, launched in November 2022, is an AI chat robot developed by the generative pre trained transformer technology. It uses deep learning technology to train according to a large number of samples on the network, and analyzes Big Data through the natural language processing model.

        With the help of a huge amount of data databases, it can not only automatically generate text, abstracts, tables, translations, debugging codes, dialog generation, question answering systems, content classification, etc., but also serve as a search engine to query weather, proper noun or historical events, with a wide range of applications.

        How ChatGPT helps users enhance their advantages

                1. Improve learning ability: ChatGPT has a rich database that facilitates users to collect information and professional knowledge in different fields, and supports translation in multiple languages, making it very suitable as a language learning tool.

        2. Improve production efficiency: ChatGPT analyzes the meaning of text through text conversations, quickly generates corresponding text output, and automates sentence processing. It can respond to requirements such as answering questions, providing immediate suggestions, generating articles, and even developing programs, without being limited by time or location, effectively saving time and improving productivity.

        3. Cost and time saving: ChatGPT can be applied to intelligent customer service, intelligent assistants, and other services. In addition to improving customer experience and satisfaction, saving costs and time, it has a more value-added effect on business value, thereby enhancing enterprise competitiveness.

        Hazards brought by ChatGPT

        1. Asset security risk: During the dialogue with ChatGPT, users or enterprises may be exposed to risks, such as:

        1) Information leakage: If users input information such as their personal information and business secrets, which are illegally obtained or leaked, it will cause adverse effects.

        2) Computer virus: ChatGPT needs to run on the network. If hacked or infected, it may cause damage to computer devices or mobile devices, and sensitive information of users may also be stolen as a result.

        3) Model attack: Hackers may infiltrate the ChatGPT system through infiltration and inject malicious software to attack the model, affecting its generated content and manipulating the behavior of users or enterprises.

        4) Other adverse effects: If the autonomous learning function of ChatGPT is improperly used or trained, it may produce harmful results, such as launching fishing attacks on personnel.

        2. Message authenticity: Due to ChatGPT learning from a large amount of training data, if the data itself has biases, it may result in the generated content containing false or misleading information, causing harm to society or users, such as causing social panic, misleading users in decision-making errors, etc. Here are three possible reasons for this situation:

        1) Limitations on understanding cultural and professional terms

        2) The Limitation of Knowledge Storage

        3) Providing false and untrue information

        3. stifling thinking: ChatGPT can quickly gather the information users need and respond in a short period of time. However, if users fully refer to the information provided by ChatGPT for purposes such as papers or working papers, it will not only become plagiarism, but may also gradually lose their thinking ability, affecting human development of better new designs and methods.

        4. Social barriers: If users only engage in conversational communication with ChatGPT, it may lead to some users being disconnected from real people in the long run, resulting in social barriers and loneliness.

        In summary, ChatGPT is a highly promising technology that can be applied in multiple fields, with numerous advantages. It not only helps people better handle natural language, but also automates various tasks, improving productivity and work efficiency. However, it is still necessary to pay attention to its shortcomings and potential risks, carefully evaluate the pros and cons, and strengthen relevant regulatory and preventive measures to ensure correct, legal, and safe use.
