Recent statements from Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, have put some much-needed silencing amongst the high praise of ChatGPT.听

An online discussion reveals that perhaps, after all, ChatGPT is not an unsung hero. LeCun stated 鈥淐hatGPT is not particularly innovative鈥�, 鈥渘othing revolutionary鈥� and is simply 鈥渘icely done鈥�. LeCun, during the Zoom that both press and executives attended, essentially reaffirmed that ChatGPT is not really as advanced as other lab work that has been around for many years.听

What Is ChatGPT?听

听

ChatGPT, in simple terms, is a chatbot that OpenAI launched in 2022. The software was only released 56 days ago yet it has taken the world by storm. ChatGPT, or Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, can create human-like text when prompted.听

A simple cue 鈥渨rite a 500-word story about penguins鈥� is taken by the chatbot and produced in only a matter of seconds. ChatGPT is easy to use and can help create assignments, product descriptions and other tasks instantly. As a result, it has caused debate and concern among professionals such as educators, copywriters and AI scientists as to how ChatGPT will transform our everyday lives and jobs in the near future.听

LeCun Re-Orders the Narrative听

听

鈥淥penAI is not particularly an advance compared to the other labs, at all,鈥� claimed LeCun.听

LeCun continued to criticise the chatbot and reminded people that there are other similar technologies which are just as innovative and have been in the world of Tech for many years. One argument he raised is that 鈥渟elf-supervised learning鈥� had been something he has advocated for a long time, long before OpenAI launched ChatGPT.听

Furthermore, he reminded the audience that transformers were a Google invention launched in 2017. Transformers are a deep-learning model or language neural net that has become the foundation of the language GPT-3.听

So, language learning models are not revolutionary thanks to ChatGPT. Or, as LeCun said, 鈥渢here鈥檚 a whole history of this鈥� this did not come out of a vacuum鈥�.听

He then proceeded to tell his listeners that Meta is not only going to create a 鈥渢ext generation鈥� but also 鈥渃reation aids鈥�, such as AI art 鈥� which, is a future debate itself. Evidently, LeCun鈥檚 claims reaffirm amongst the excitement of ChatGPT that it is not anything new. But, how will ChatGPT affect different industries and businesses in future? Time will only tell.
