Articles about ChatGPT

Large-language models (LLMs) and other forms of generative AI are revolutionizing the way we do business. The impact could be huge: McKinsey estimates that current gen AI technologies could eventually automate about 60-70 percent of employees’ time, facilitating productivity and revenue gains of up to $4.4 trillion. These figures are astonishing given how young gen AI is. (ChatGPT debuted just under two years ago -- and just look at how ubiquitous it is already.)

Nonetheless, we are already approaching the next evolution in intelligent AI: agentic AI. This advanced version of AI builds upon the progress of LLMs and gen AI and will soon enable AI agents to solve even more complex, multi-step problems.

After all the headlines we have read about how amazing Artificial Intelligence (AI) is and how businesses would literally stagnate if they didn't have it, it was interesting to read this article in Forbes, who suggest that AI stock is showing 'bubble-like' tendencies and may soon experience a sharp correction as businesses struggle to operationalize AI. So, should we write off AI? Maybe not.

Perhaps the better plan is to accept that AI is at the top of its hype cycle, and, like any new technology, there will be some limitations to ChatGPT-style AI, which in its raw state can be subject to issues like hallucinations. We knew this anyway, as the CEO of the company behind it explained: "ChatGPT is incredibly limited but good enough at some aspects to create a misleading impression of greatness. It's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now."
