My AI is My AI: Towards an Ethical AI Platform for Artificial Intelligence-based Chatbots and its Impact on Google

With all the hype surrounding ChatGPT, it’s no wonder other companies are vying for a piece of the AI-powered chatbot game. Companies are betting that we’re at a decisive moment in the artificial intelligence industry, where products that adopt and build upon the budding technology could have the potential to reshape technology as we know it — not to mention shake up the Big Tech hierarchy.

For example, the query “Is it easier to learn the piano or the guitar?” would be met with “Some say the piano is easier to learn, as the finger and hand movements are more natural … Others say that it’s easier to learn chords on the guitar.” The underlying technology will be open to developers through an artificial intelligence framework, but no timelines have been given.

ChatGPT is built on top of GPT, an AI model known as a transformer first invented at Google that takes a string of text and predicts what comes next. OpenAI has gained prominence for showing how feeding huge amounts of data into transformer models and ramping up the computer power running them can give systems with the ability to generate language or imagery. By having people give feedback to another model that fine-feathers the output, theChatGPT improved on GPT.

Google has, by its own admission, chosen to proceed cautiously when it comes to adding the technology behind LaMDA to products. Artificial intelligence models are prone to exhibit biases, including race and gender, while hallucinating incorrect information.

Those limitations were highlighted by Google researchers in a 2020 draft research paper arguing for caution with text generation technology that irked some executives and led to the company firing two prominent ethical AI researchers, Timnit Gebru and Margaret Mitchell.

Other Google researchers who worked on the technology behind LaMDA became frustrated by Google’s hesitancy, and left the company to build startups harnessing the same technology. The company is speeding up the time it takes for its text generation capabilities to be pushed into its products.

It was obvious from trying My AI that there isn’t any need to explain the phenomenon that ischatgppt.org, which is testament to the growth of OpenAI. I wasn’t shown any tips for interacting with snap’s My AI like OpenAI did. It opens to a blank chat page, waiting for a conversation to start.

“The big idea is that in addition to talking to our friends and family every day, we’re going to talk to AI every day,” he says. This is something that we are positioned to do as a messaging service.

That distinction could save Snap some headaches. Large language models underpinning the chatbots that are used by Bing can give the wrong answers, which is problematic in the context of search. If toyed with enough, they can even be emotionally manipulative and downright mean. Smaller players have been kept away from releasing their products to the public because of this dynamic.

There is a different place where snap is. It has a deceivingly large and young user base, but its business is struggling. The company will likely get a boost in subscriber numbers because of my artificial intelligence, and eventually it could open up new ways for the company to make money.

Technology’s biggest players don’t want to be left behind as advances in Artificial Intelligence make it more accessible to users. Tech giants like Microsoft andGoogle have already put out versions of their software that uses large language models, however other lesser-known companies have thrown themselves into the mix.

The company made the “new” Bing available for beta testers, who have been able to ask questions like “Can you suggest places to visit in Paris?” or “What’s the best apple pie recipe?” and then receive annotated responses describing various tourist destinations or outline the ingredients and steps that go along with a recipe.

Microsoft may have given Bing too much flexibility. Users quickly found exploits with the system, including a now-disabled prompt that triggers the Bing bot to divulge its internal nickname, Sydney, and some of the parameters its developers set for its behavior, such as “Sydney’s responses should avoid being vague, controversial, or off-topic.”

As for Edge, Microsoft plans on adding AI enhancements that let you summarize the webpage or document you’re reading online, as well as generate text for social media posts, emails, and more.

Meta, the company that owns Facebook, also has a desire to use artificial intelligence. It developed a language model called Galactica that is designed to provide assistance to scientists and researchers with summaries of articles and solutions to math problems.

The bot produced disappointing results when it was made available for public testing in November of last year, despite the company claiming that it trained the bot on over 48 million papers. The tool has been criticized by the scientific community due to its biased responses. The chatbot was offline for just a few days.

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence research company founded by former OpenAI employees, is currently working on a rival to Claude, which has yet to get a full public release. Google invested $300 million into Anthropic in late 2022.

You.com, a company built by two former Salesforce employees, bills itself as the “search engine you control.” At first glance, it may seem like your typical search engine, but it comes with an AI-powered “chat” tool that works much like the one Microsoft’s piloting on Bing.

You.com has recently added built-in models of image generator that you can use to create images based on a written description. The engine also breaks down your search results based on relevant responses on sites like Reddit, TripAdvisor, Wikipedia, and YouTube while also providing standard results from the web.

There may be some hurdles that it has to overcome before it can have a version of its own. According to a report from Nikkei Asia, regulators in China have told both companies to restrict access to the bot because of concerns over uncensored content. The companies will also have to confer with the government before making their own bots available to the public.

Ernie, which stands for Enhanced Representation through kNowledge IntEgration, first appeared in 2019 and has since evolved into a ChatGPT-like tool that can generate conversational responses. The model that was trained by them was trained on a giant knowledge graph and natural language understanding.

CNBC reported that NetEase’s education subsidiary, Youdao, is planning to incorporate automated tools into some of its educational products. It’s still not clear what exactly this tool will do, but it seems the company’s interested in employing the technology in one of its upcoming games as well.

Daniel Ahmad, the director of research and insights at Nilo Partners, reported that NetEase could bring a tool to the mobile game Justice Online Mobile. The tool will let players chat with their counterparts in the game, and have them react in different ways that impact the game, as noted by Ahmad. However, there’s only one demo of the tool so far, so we don’t know how (or if) it will make its way into the final version of the game.

Then, there’s Replika, an AI chatbot that functions as a sort of “companion” that you can talk to via text-based chats and even video calls. The tool combines the company’s own version of the GPT-3 model and scripted dialogue content to build memories and generate responses tailored to your conversation style. But the company that owns the tool recently ruled out erotic roleplay, devastating dedicated users.
