Getting started with ChatGPT is easy

ChatGPT is a member of a family of language models. It may be somewhat trivializing but let us start a sentence with some blank,

for example,

John is <blank> to Japan. 

What follows 'is' not hard to guess. These are two possibilities that come to mind. 'going' or 'coming' to insert in the <blank> space. My knowledge of the grammar suggested these based on the language I know. I learned from studying the language and have seen it used many times. 

More generally, a language model uses machine learning to conduct a probability distribution over words used to predict the most likely next word based on a previous entry. Language models learn from the text that can be used for producing original text, predicting the next word in the text, speech recognition, optical speech recognition, and handwriting recognition. ChatGPT is one such language model.

The following describes how we may get it installed on a local computer: 

In order to work with chatGPT you need to get a copy of the program to your local computer. Of course, there are other ways to work without a local copy.

You use the GIT program to get a copy from the remote location to your local computer. The Git tool(program) is used to access the GitHub service. Git is a version control tool that you can run from the command line on your desktop/laptop. 

In the present case, GitHub has the files/directory for working with chatGPT. Using GIT you can bring a copy from the cloud(Internet) hosted service to create a local directory on your computer. Make sure you read the README.md file.


The following block shows all the command line arguments for the GIT command. I may write GIT or Git and they mean the same. It is a rich command and you can do a lot of stuff with it.

I asked AI chat in Bing about a feature in Excel and it did not know

 I recently saw a feature in Excel pop-up all of a sudden and asked AI-Chat in Bing. It did not know about. I thought Microsoft is so busy embedding chatGPT that it may have overlooked how far it has embedded the AI features and its access to its own products.

Let me make it brief. I suddenly saw a magenta(some may call it pink) triangle at the corner of an Excel Cell on a page that had some calculations. I don't know for what reason, but I saw a magenta/pink triangle at the right top corner of a cell which gave me to communicate with some party as shown. It was a "prompt" to start a conversation. I just started one and replied to it as well.


I think when I closed it, Excel tried to get to my email. This is probably a feature for the team that uses this feature. 

Then I wanted to ask my newfound friend, the Bing AI-Chat to find out if he knew what this is about. He did not know either.



No big deal, Microsoft too busy tying loose ends with the new acquistion.

IVG will be more dangerous than AI in the wrong hands and wrong governments

 If you think AI could be dangerous in the wrong hands wait for In Vitro Gametogenesis.

*       You can have a child of any sex and does not matter if you are certified infertile. 

*       Same-sex couples can have children bearing their DNAs. (not a bad idea, though)

*       You can have an army of sexless soldiers. The options and possibilities are endless.

Kissan CHAT is targetted to Agriculture and Farming related topics

 


The trending topic is Chat GPT and its variants. You can access this service on Bing as mentioned in my previous post

India has developed an AI-enhanced Chat service directed at farmers. India is an agriculture-based country although it has made substantial gains in other areas including defense, space, health systems, etc.

Kissan means farmer in Hindi and Kissan GPT is directed at farmers mainly but can be used by other interested parties. The nice addition the developer has made is to respond to voice commands. This is of immense use to those who work in the fields.  It is available in most Indian languages as well as a few foreign languages.

There are all kinds of fears about the misuse of AI, but this one will surely make the farmers more productive and lessen the effects of mother nature's excesses.
