Based on the recent publicity surrounding ChatGPT, out of curiosity, I decided to through in a few prompts to know how it feels and functions.
One of such prompt is “tell me about the cannabis industry” and below was the response I got.
“The cannabis industry includes the production and sale of marijuana and hemp products. The marijuana market includes both recreational and medical use, while the hemp market primarily focuses on industrial uses of the plant, such as textiles and building materials.
The cannabis industry has been rapidly growing in recent years, with an increasing number of states legalizing marijuana for medical or recreational use. This has led to the development of new businesses and job opportunities in the field. However, the industry still faces legal challenges and obstacles, as marijuana remains illegal at the federal level in the United States.
Medical marijuana is used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, and PTSD. CBD, one of the compounds found in hemp and marijuana, is also becoming increasingly popular for its potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation and pain.
The cannabis industry is also becoming a significant economic force, with the global legal marijuana market projected to reach $73.6 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 18.1% during the forecast period.
However, the industry also has its own challenges, such as lack of access to banking services, lack of research and testing, and safety and health concerns”.
Though I was expecting a bit more in the response, I further threw in another prompt “What is your opinion on cannabis?”
To which it replied “As a language model, I do not have opinions or feelings. I can provide you with information and answer questions about cannabis, but I cannot express personal opinions or feelings on the subject.
Cannabis has been used for medicinal and recreational purposes for centuries, and its legal status varies depending on the location. In recent years, many countries have been moving towards the legalization of cannabis for medical or recreational use, while others maintain strict prohibition laws.
The use of cannabis for medicinal purposes has been shown to have potential benefits for certain medical conditions, such as chronic pain and post-traumatic stress disorder. However, further research is still needed to fully understand the potential benefits and risks of using cannabis for medicinal purposes.
Recreational use of cannabis also carries potential risks, such as impaired driving and the potential for addiction. It is important to understand and weigh the potential benefits and risks before using cannabis and to always follow the laws and regulations of your location”.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI, a research company founded in December 2015 by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, Wojciech Zaremba, and John Schulman. It is based on the GPT (Generative Pre-training Transformer) architecture, which is a neural network-based machine learning model.
ChatGPT is trained on a large dataset of text and is able to generate human-like text in response to a given prompt. It can be used for a variety of natural language processing tasks, such as text generation, language translation, and question answering.
The model was first introduced in a research paper published in June 2019, called “Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners” by Alec Radford, Jeffrey Wu, Rewon Child, David Luan, Dario Amodei, and Ilya Sutskever.
The paper describes the GPT-2, a large-scale language model that’s trained on a diverse range of internet text and is able to generate human-like text, the model was then improved and the new version is called GPT-3, and the most recent version which is GPT-3 fine-tuned versions called ChatGPT.
One of the main advantages of ChatGPT is its ability to understand and respond to context, allowing it to generate more accurate and natural-sounding responses. This makes it useful in a wide range of applications, such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and automated content generation.
