On the occasion of the new year, I wish you and your family always full of health, happiness and prosperity!
Hello everyone, after a while of absence from the knowledge sharing front on Viblo, now I’m back. In the holiday atmosphere, on all fronts, especially TikTok, I see reviewers constantly mentioning a relatively hot phenomenon – ChatGPT. What is ChatGPT? Why is it so hot? Is there anything to worry about? Let’s learn about it together!
What is ChatGPT?
- ChatGPT was released by OpenAI on November 30, 2022. It is an Optimizing Language Model for Dialogue. The amount of data for it is quite large, which can be mentioned as chat data with Chatbot, feedback data evaluated from selected users, … in addition, the text is refined thanks to the help from trainers (according to OpenAI reports).
- ChatGPT can be used for natural language processing tasks such as text generation and language translation. It is based on the GPT-3.5 (Generative Pretraining Transformer 3.5) model, one of the largest and most advanced language models available.
What does it do to be so hot?
- One of the key features of ChatGPT is the ability to generate human-like text responses to prompts. This makes it useful for many applications, such as creating chatbots for customer service, generating answers to questions on online forums, or even creating personalized content for customers. social media posts. One of its applications that has made headlines recently is the ability to create a complete piece of code or a complete piece of code for a simple program (which of course still has bugs, but reaches the limit). that’s already something to help programmers)
- GPT-3.5 has been trained on massive amounts of code data and information from the internet, including sources like Reddit discussions, to help ChatGPT learn to dialogue and achieve a human response style.
- ChatGPT is also trained using human feedback (a technique called Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback) so that the AI knows what to expect from humans when they ask a question. Training the Large Language Model (LLM) in this way is revolutionary because it doesn’t simply train the LLM to predict the next word.
- Some restrictions may follow, such as
- The quality of the answer depends on the quality of the instructions, specifically in the question
- The answer is not always right
- Depending on the intended use, it may be harmful
- Steps to use ChatGPT:

Disaster possible?
1. Fake news
The spread of misinformation is one of the most serious problems ChatGPT can face. The first is the fact that fake and unreliable news is spread at breakneck speed, plus the triple star effect, it’s unknown where the story will go. Fake news and other misinformation content can spread quickly and widely, especially on social media platforms, making it even more difficult to prevent or combat. With the data age, using data today to train predictive models can lead to model distribution of false information. Additionally, ChatGPT could potentially be used by malicious actors to create and spread fake news, further amplifying its reach and impact.
Therefore, measures must be put in place to ensure that the model is not used for nefarious purposes. This may include regulations and guidelines, as well as performing checks and balances such as cross-checking sources and verifying the accuracy of information before it is disseminated.
2. Spam
A typical problem when we enter machine learning: Spam classification. Here, Spam is one of the worst things of ChatGPT. Models can output a significant amount of text in response to prompts, which can lead to the creation of spam or unsolicited messages. Certainly this is also particularly relevant to the model being used for marketing or promotional purposes.
3. Scams
One of the biggest risks associated with ChatGPT is fraud. Phishing is the practice of sending emails or messages disguised as a legitimate source to obtain personal data, such as passwords or credit card information. Since ChatGPT can create lifelike text, it can be used to create persuasive messages that can fool gullible users. This poses a huge risk to users’ data and accounts, especially if the model is used in a public or professional context.
4. Account Compromised
The next risk associated with ChatGPT is the possibility of an account being compromised. The model is trained on a large text data set and can generate text that resembles human speech. This makes it easy for malicious actors to create convincing and credible messages that can be used to gain access to user accounts or spread misinformation. For example, a scammer can use ChatGPT to create an email that appears to come from a legitimate source in order to obtain sensitive information such as passwords or credit card numbers. OpenAI has recognized this risk and has taken steps to mitigate it by training the model to identify and flag suspicious activity. However, it is important that users remain vigilant and take steps to protect their accounts from the potential threats posed by ChatGPT. This includes using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and regularly monitoring accounts for suspicious activity.
5. Malicious Chatbot
An indispensable application of ChatGPT is chatbot, but besides that is the possibility of malicious chatbots. With ChatGPT, the model can quickly respond to requests that generate dangerous malware, or inappropriate or offensive responses from the model are another big concern.
6. Predatory behavior
The lack of ethics regarding AI-generated content is also an issue. Since the model does not have its own set of beliefs and views, it can give wrong or dangerous answers. Also, if the model is trained on skewed data, it will also produce skewed results. This can lead to perpetuating negative stereotypes.
7. Data theft
Data theft is a serious concern when it comes to OpenAI ChatGPT. Since the model is trained on a large textual dataset, it is capable of accessing and processing user data, which can lead to identity theft or other types of data theft. is different. It is important to be aware of this risk and take steps to protect any sensitive information that the model may be exposed to. Additionally, malicious actors can use the model to create malicious chatbots or phishing messages that can be used to steal user data. To protect users from data theft, it is important to ensure that the model is only used for lawful purposes and that any access to user data is strictly monitored.
8. Badly Targeted Ads
ChatGPT has its own targeted advertising capabilities. Because it can collect and process user data, it can be used to profile people for advertising purposes more efficiently and effectively. This can lead to privacy concerns, as well as user manipulation by companies seeking to profit from this data. Additionally, ChatGPT can be used to deliver ads to gullible users, using the model’s “spam” response to get them to click on a link or take an action that benefits the company.
9. Identity theft
Identity theft is one of the most serious risks associated with ChatGPT. Due to its ability to collect and process user data, it can be used to access personal information, for identity theft. This risk is heightened when the model is used for customer service or support. It is important to be aware of the potential for identity theft and to take steps to protect user data and ensure that it is not misused. Privacy issues should also be considered when using ChatGPT. In addition, users should also know how their data is being used and whether it is shared with any third parties. By understanding the risks associated with ChatGPT, users can help ensure that ChatGPT is used responsibly and ethically.
10. Cat Fishing
Catfishing is a form of deception in which someone creates a fake identity online to trick others into an online relationship. ChatGPT is a powerful language model that can produce text just like human speech, but it can be used for malicious purposes. For example, malicious users can use this model to create fake identities and build an online relationship with someone by asking ChatGPT to create messages and conversations. The risk here is that the recipient may not be able to distinguish that they are talking to a machine rather than a real person and may develop an emotional connection with this non-existent object, from which would-be attackers. Bad guys may try to extract personal or financial information from gullible victims.
