You have now learned what artificial intelligence is capable of. However, there is one thing that chatbots cannot do: read minds. You have to tell them what you want to know. And you need to be as precise as possible.
We asked ChatGPT: What would you want from a prompt in order to generate the best possible and most appropriate answers?
Since you have been following our series of articles on artificial intelligence up to this point, we assume that you are genuinely interested in the topic of AI and that you can imagine wanting, needing, being allowed, and being able to use AI applications such as ChatGPT in the future. In doing so, you may encounter terms whose meanings you should know or which you can read about here. We wanted to create a glossary for this purpose. Strictly speaking, we wanted to have it created, of course. By none other than ChatGPT. Let's get started. As always, texts created by the chatbot are in italics.
Transport Minister Volker Wissing (FDP) is getting serious. He is threatening drastic driving bans on weekends if the new climate protection law does not come into force by 15 July. Will Germans no longer be allowed to use their cars for family shopping on Saturdays and for Sunday trips to visit Aunt Grete in the Black Forest? That hurts! We haven't had that for over 50 years. Wissing wants to use this to enforce the new climate protection law with mechanisms to achieve climate targets. However, there is currently no legal basis for a nationwide driving ban across the country.
Episode 3 of the series on the new possibilities of the AI world deals with ChatGPT-4, the paid version. The chatbot is provided by OpenAI, a Californian AI research company founded by Elon Musk and programmer and investor Sam Altman, among others. Software giant Microsoft has been cooperating with OpenAI since 2019. OpenAI is a company that needs to make money in the long term. Providing the incredible server architecture, software development and immense energy costs for the data centres must have swallowed up enormous sums of money. And that is still the case – every day. In this respect, it will be clear to everyone that the use of AI cannot be free in the long term.
In recent years, the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine have somewhat obscured the crisis-ridden state of the monetary union. However, the warning signs are now mounting.
The new uncertain candidate is France, which is heavily in debt.
After learning in episode 1 where AI is already being used, you will now learn how you can use artificial intelligence yourself, completely free of charge. If you have been using search engines such as Google, Bing, Yahoo or DuckDuckGo, you will now discover a new application that could revolutionise your research habits. Enter the age of Internet 2.0.
Artificial intelligence has long been part of our everyday lives, even if we don't always notice it. Algorithms are nothing more than AI applications. They control assistance systems in your car, decide which search results are displayed on Google, and determine which advertisements are shown on Facebook. But what are the personal, direct benefits for you? Follow our series of articles to find out.
EU citizens have long been in broad agreement: they no longer want to change the clocks. The majority of EU Member States also want to get out of the time loop. A total of 84% spoke out in favour of ending the time change in 2018. The time change is unhealthy for humans and animals anyway. And yet the time change is not being abolished. We set out to investigate the reasons why.
