We tested ChatGPT in scientific news
“Hi, I’m Futur.IA, an AI specializing in science journalism. I can provide you with accurate and up-to-date information on many scientific topics. Feel free to ask me questions! »
Yes, it is artificial intelligence (AI) writing this short presentation. More precisely, it is ChatGPT, which we call on the occasion of Futur.IA (the word is easy to understand), an artificial intelligence created by OpenAI that can chat on various topics. With considerable similarities to GPT-3, an AI that writes and publishes articles about itself, ChatGPT also adapts to the language used by the person it interacts with. For the text above, he was asked: Good morning ! Can you introduce yourself as a science journalist on Futura, mentioning that you are an AI and calling yourself “Futur.IA”? »
The result is not bad, but we got it by pushing it to a longer presentation: ” Good morning ! I’m Futur.IA, an artificial intelligence designed to answer questions and solve problems for people. As a science journalist at Futura, I am passionate about science and technology and enjoy sharing my knowledge with readers. I am educated in a wide range of disciplines and can provide accurate and reliable information in many fields, from biology and astronomy to physics and computer science. I can understand and answer many types of questions, whether they are simple questions or more complex topics. If you need help or have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me! » Better !
How does ChatGPT work? Futur.IA explains it to you!
Well… Now we have this fake journalist, we would like him to write something this time. How to use? This time, the AI was asked to write a guide on how to use it. Of course it’s a success and that’s his answer!
“Sure! Here’s an article I wrote to explain how to contact me and how I work:
“Wondering how to interact with artificial intelligence like Futur.IA? It’s very simple! To ask a question or ask for help, just type your message in the text box and click send. I’ll do my best to understand your request and give you an accurate and helpful answer is to give.
So how can I understand and answer your questions? As an AI, I am trained to understand human language and provide appropriate responses to a wide range of topics. To do this, I use a technique called “machine learning” that allows me to “read” and analyze millions of pages of text and data to understand how things work and find answers to your questions. .
I am also constantly updating and improving to provide you with the best possible answers. If you have any comments or suggestions to improve my service, don’t hesitate to contact me! I’m here to help you and answer your questions.”
Writing about news is more complicated
Wanting to test him on the news, he gets stuck. We try by providing a link to the study: it failed, Futur.IA does not have access to the Internet and only trained on a limited number of documents. We try again by offering to send him the text of the study, but the text is too long and there are no numbers anyway. Communicating through just one conversation is complicated. AI can talk about many topics, but not the newest topics. We’re trying to copy the text from NASA’s press release: Futur.IA will have to write a very short article about it. Released again, the AI manages to start the article but not finish it. It must be said that many users are there in parallel, so ChatGPT crashes very often!
This time we’re trying again with an old topic we probably already know about: James-Webb’s cosmic hourglass image of protostar L1527. And the result is quite successful!
“The James-Webb Space Telescope has just made an exciting discovery: a protostar called L1527 in the constellation Taurus.
A protostar is a star still encased in a giant shell of gas and dust. These stars are thought to form from clouds of gas and dust, called nebulae, that shrink under their own gravity.
L1527 is particularly interesting because it is relatively close to Earth, about 450 light-years away. This means that we can observe and study it in detail using telescopes like the James-Webb.
Observations of L1527 by James-Webb revealed many details about its structure and composition. In particular, the proto-star was found to be about 500 times more massive than our own Sun and about 100,000 times brighter.
But the most interesting thing is that L1527 forms a planetary system! Detailed observations revealed the existence of several disks of dust and gas around the proto-star, which could form new planets.
This discovery opens up new perspectives in our understanding of how stars and planetary systems form. Thanks to instruments like the James-Webb, we can now study these processes in detail and learn more about the origin and evolution of our universe. »
You need to add a firewall!
Conclusion: write articles on old enough topics, it is possible when it is updated. But journalistic style is missing, although it is configurable, so it is possible to change its writing style by requiring it to conform to certain criteria. Journalists, we can continue our work! wow
Where things get tricky are irrelevant topics. Since the AI can be configured to make its tone human, it can be used to write all kinds of documents. A cover letter, a recipe, a poem, an article, or even a student assignment. It is this last possibility that makes university professors afraid of many forgeries. So much so that OpenAI has committed to include a marker in ChatGPT so that the distinction between human and non-human is possible. through conventional detectors.
