What’s in it for me? Catch a glimpse of a fascinating and hopeful future.

How many restaurant inspectors does it take to change a light bulb?

Pose this question to GPT-4 – the state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence developed by OpenAI – and it may offer two answers. A factual answer: One inspector should be enough, as long as they follow proper safety procedures. Or a joke answer: Four – one to hold the ladder, one to unscrew the bulb, another to screw in the new one, and a fourth to write up a citation for incorrect wattage. Not bad for a computer – and the fact that it thought to offer two answers is even more impressive.

It gets better. Ask for that same joke in the style of Jerry Seinfield and GPT-4 will go into an original, grammatically correct and tonally accurate monologue that could easily have been delivered by the comedian, starting with, “What’s the deal with restaurant inspectors?”

Ask for the style of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and you’ll get a convincing speech on the nature of language and the abstract purpose of restaurant inspectors.

Pretty entertaining. But it can do more than generate novel responses to clichéd jokes. GPT-4 is what’s known as a Large Language Model, or LLM – it draws from vast databases of natural writing and information to create believable responses from just a few prompts. Poetry, prose, facts, speculation – it can do it all, if asked.

Take a moment to consider how this could be used in fields like education, justice, or journalism, for example. This Blink is a discussion about those possibilities – call it a travelog for the future – with input, suggestions, and speculation from GPT-4 itself. That’s right – many of the ideas you are about to hear are not just those of the author, but the answers he received by asking the AI for its opinion.

With that in mind, let's take a look at what the future holds.

AI and Education

Mention the idea of AI entering the world of education and academia, and people respond with outrage: “Students will be able to find all the answers!” “It’ll be easier to cheat!” However, when beloved seventy-year-old professor Stephen Mintz was introduced to ChatGPT – a publicly available chat application that is based on GPT-4 – he had a different reaction. He couldn’t wait to start incorporating it into his lessons.

New technology has often changed the face of education: Calculators allowed for more complex math problems. Google made us less reliant on memorizing facts. School libraries have been largely replaced or augmented by online databases.

If AI can do the same work as a human, Mintz argues, then it’s pointless for humans to be competing with that. Humans should be focusing on their unique abilities, such as finding the best questions to ask AIs, learning skills that aren’t in the AI’s training data, and turning the advanced observations of AI into real actions.

These require skills like exploration, curiosity, and leadership – things that humans excel at, but AI, not so much.

So how can these Large Language Models practically assist teachers like Stephen Mintz in the classroom? When asked this question, GPT-4 generated a few suggestions.

Firstly, the AI could create personalized tests or lesson plans for pupils, taking into account their learning goals, strengths and weaknesses, and overall progress, then give thorough and immediate feedback as needed.

It could also facilitate group collaboration, by creating games or scenarios to make students work together to solve problems, all while providing support and structure.

Finally, AI could act as a facilitator for debates and discussions, providing facts, prompts, and counterarguments as needed, at a much faster and more accurate rate than any human could. This could give teachers the freedom to sit back and observe and assess students’ performance.

However, the successful future of AI in education isn’t guaranteed. When prompted, GPT-4 offers optimistic and pessimistic predictions. Optimistically, in the next fifty years AI becomes readily available, and gives teachers more opportunities to engage and inspire their students.

However, GPT-4’s pessimistic prediction sees this technology limited by cost and privacy concerns, meaning that the advantages are only given to a privileged few, creating further inequity in the education system.

These scenarios may have been generated by AI, but it is up to humans to decide which one comes to light.

AI and Creativity

Imagine an Artificial Intelligence that could quickly and faithfully create an original song – music, lyrics, the whole lot – in the style of John Lennon. It may not be his best work, but it certainly isn’t bad, and anyone familiar with the source material might even nod and say: “Yup, he could have written that.”

The immediate reaction of many musicians would be fear: their work just became a lot less necessary.

AI and Justice

Right now in the US there are more African American men in the prison system than there were slaves living in 1850. The consequences of past injustices are still a constant part of life for many people, and while the causes and solutions are complex and disputed, Artificial Intelligences like GPT-4 may be able to help.

First off, this needs to be approached cautiously. There are already legitimate problems regarding human biases being picked up by AI algorithms, which is a serious concern.

AI and Journalism

By the year 2025, it is predicted that the world will have produced about 175 trillion gigabytes of data. If this number seems mind-bogglingly large, that’s because it is. With that much data you could stream Netflix for over eighty-five million years.

Clearly, most of this information will not be newsworthy. So how do we find the data that is? This is where AI collides with the critical world of journalism.

When AI Hallucinates

Here are some criticisms that have been made by respected journalists and researchers: “It’s a flawed and irresponsible research tool.” “You should always double check everything at its source.” “It’s unleashing misinformation to the masses.”

Sounds like they’re being quite harsh about GPT-4, right? Actually, these are all things that were said about the now beloved and trusted Wikipedia. And before that, these claims were made about the internet itself.

Final Summary

Humanity is at a crossroads. Large Language Models like GPT-4 are going to change the world, and it is up to us to decide what this will look like.

Yes, there are dangers – but without risk there can never be any progress. If developed, distributed, and regulated carefully, AI can become a versatile and productive tool that could elevate the capabilities of humanity.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ines S.

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Ekaterina S.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Julia P.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
