Can artificial intelligence call the tune on content creation?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

This song sucks! Legendary rock star Nick Cave didn\u2019t hold back when one of his fans sent him lyrics created by an artificial intelligence (AI) system that had been tasked with writing a song in the style of the Bad Seeds frontman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The words had been created by ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot that has been trained to generate content and human-like responses to prompts, such as asking for a song \u2018in the style of Nick Cave\u2019.<\/p>\n

Despite its attempts to re-create Cave’s dark religious imagery, the singer branded the lyrics \u2018a grotesque mockery\u2019 and \u2018a travesty\u2019, reported BBC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And yet, if I was a betting man, I might be tempted to head to the bookies and have a little dabble on when the first chart-topping song to be written by AI would come about. Would it be in the next three\u2026two\u2026one year? Pondering on the chances, I asked ChatGPT what it reckoned, and this is the answer\u2026<\/p>\n

Not a bad answer at all, in my opinion.<\/em><\/h6>\n\n

What is ChatGPT?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

ChatGPT (the GPT stands for generative pre-training) was only launched as a prototype on 30th November 2022. Since then, it has created quite a stir on social media<\/a> \u2013 although that should come with an understatement alert.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Announcing its arrival, its creators, US-based OpenAI, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve trained a model called ChatGPT which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to introduce ChatGPT to get users\u2019 feedback and learn about its strengths and weaknesses. During the research preview, usage of ChatGPT is free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the release, OpenAI was valued at $US 29billion. Given the attention ChatGPT has received, not to mention OpenAI\u2019s market valuation, the other tech giants have been quick to jump on the bandwagon.<\/p>\n

ChatGPT has been described as a \u2018Google killer\u2019 as it can be used as a search engine, prompting Google to launch its own version, known as Bard.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some schools in the US and Australia have banned students from using ChatGPT out of fear they could use it to complete their assignments.<\/p>\n

And in the latest twist in the race for world AI supremacy, Microsoft has announced it is integrating ChatGPT into its Bing search engine. If you can\u2019t beat \u2018em, join \u2018em!<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

What is ChatGPT good for?<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

If and when you use ChatGPT keep in mind that it\u2019s clever, but not that clever. It\u2019s just a machine that has no ulterior motive or purpose. It does not want to help or mislead you; it has no concept of what is real and no morals. It is what it is \u2013 AI that generates text based on a lot of information it has been trained on.<\/p>\n

Even though its uneven factual accuracy has been identified as a significant drawback, it still has its uses, and here are some of them.<\/p>\n
