An Artificial Intelligence Writes a Scientific Report By Itself

Recently, we told you in an article titled ‘Robots will take our jobs (!)’ and that a drone can keep a huge power plant under control. A group of engineers aimed to reduce the workforce of humans by designing an artificial intelligence. However, that drone was designed to make people’s work easier.

The event that we will talk about today is a really interesting development. A Swedish researcher GPT-3 He was working on an artificial intelligence algorithm known as gave a command. However, something unexpected happened.

Let’s learn first: What is GPT-3?

GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3, Generative Pre-Trained Transformer), texts as if written by human It is an autoregressive language algorithm that uses the deep learning method to generate The name of this algorithm is GPT-3 because there are also 2 different versions produced by OpenAI before.

produced by GPT-3 The quality of the text is so high that whether it was written by a human It can be very difficult to determine. Of course, this has both benefits and risks.

“We hope we haven’t opened Pandora’s box”

Swedish researcher Almira Osmanovic Thunström gave a command to the GPT-3 algorithm, that command was: “Write a 500-word academic dissertation on GPT-3 and include scientific sources and citations in the text.”

Thunström stated that the GPT-3 successfully completed the command and wrote a ‘pretty good’ thesis. But then a question popped up in his mind: “What if someone tried to present a thesis written only by artificial intelligence in a scientific journal as their own?”

Later, Thunström states the following in his article on the subject: “All we know is that we have opened a door. We hope we haven’t opened Pandora’s box.” Because GPT-3 uses the ‘write thesis’ command given to it. completed in just 2 hours. Later, when Thunström asked GPT-3 whether to publish the article, the algorithm ‘He replied ‘yes’.

At this point, ethical factors come into play. Academic publishing may hold the future of AI-powered writing, and a human researcher’s papers may be devalued in some way. That means ‘Robots will take our jobs!’ makes it inevitable that the cliché is in the near future.

But there is nothing to worry about, at least for now. Because experts say that technology has not yet human-like machines He says he has not reached the level to create. What are you thinking? Please do not forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments.
