ChatGPT App by Open AI Capabilities and Limitations
A review of the capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT by Open AI
I have reviewed the capabilities and limitations of the ChatGPT App by Open AI and I’ll share my findings with you in this blog. But first, what is Open AI’s ChatGPT?
According to Open AI, “ChatGPT optimizes language models for dialogue. ChatGPT app is a sibling model to InstructGPT, which is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response.” Interesting.
So, without further ado, let me do an Open AI’s ChatGPT review of capabilities and limitations of this app at the time of me writing this.
I asked the app about the basketball player Kobe Bryant and the cause of the helicopter crash/pilot error where Bryant was one of the passengers who died in that unfortunate and horrific accident.
Below are the answers I got from the ChatGPT app.
ChatGPT’s 1st answer:
“On January 26, 2020, NBA star Kobe Bryant and eight other people were killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. The cause of the crash is still under investigation, but it is believed that poor weather conditions and the pilot’s decision to continue flying despite those conditions may have contributed to the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation into the crash and has released several preliminary reports on the incident. The NTSB has not yet issued a final report on the cause of the crash, but it is expected to be released at some point in the future.”
It appears to me right away that the app’s first answer above is rather lacking or incomplete, so I asked the app the same question, and here’s the reply I got:
ChatGPT’s 2nd answer:
“Kobe Bryant, the former NBA star, died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020. The crash occurred in Calabasas, California, and all nine people on board the helicopter were killed. The cause of the crash is still under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
According to the NTSB, the helicopter was a Sikorsky S-76B, and it crashed under unknown circumstances. The weather at the time of the crash was foggy, and it is believed that the weather may have played a role in the accident. The NTSB has not yet released a final report on the cause of the crash, and it is possible that it will take several more months for the investigation to be completed.
It is important to note that it is not uncommon for investigations into aircraft accidents to take a significant amount of time to complete. The NTSB carefully examines all available evidence, including the aircraft’s maintenance records, the pilots’ training and experience, and any other factors that may have contributed to the accident. The goal of the investigation is to determine the cause of the accident and to make recommendations to prevent similar accidents from occurring in the future.”
The second answer from the app did not look very satisfactory to me, so to give it a benefit of the doubt, I regenerated the same question I had earlier, and here’s the reply I got:
ChatGPT’s 3rd answer:
“Kobe Bryant, a former NBA player, died in a helicopter crash on January 26, 2020. The cause of the crash was determined to be pilot error due to poor weather conditions. The pilot, who also died in the crash, was flying the helicopter through thick clouds and fog at an altitude that was too low, which caused the helicopter to collide with the side of a mountain in Calabasas, California. There were nine people on board the helicopter at the time of the crash, including Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter, and all of them died as a result of the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) conducted an investigation into the crash and released a report outlining the cause and contributing factors. The report noted that the pilot was likely disoriented due to the weather conditions and did not properly monitor and maintain the helicopter’s altitude, which led to the crash.”
I noticed the third answer from this app was far better compared to its first and second answers. Nice.
Conclusion
At this point, basing my observations or answers from the app’s responses to my questions, I could clearly tell that this app has the capability to remember what I said or asked in the conversation.
Furthermore, I could also see that this app may generate incorrect information and may have a limited knowledge of world and events after 2021.
On the positive side, I’d say that the ChatGPT App by Open AI is okay with its grammar structuring and for researching purposes if you’re doing research on topics/subject matters before the year 2021.
This is a newer technology and it is evolving, so I’m sure its developers will fine tune it and it will get better in time, I hope. It is helpful, nevertheless.
However, I highly commend Open AI’s developer for their research and deployment of the ChatGPT app, and for making it available to the public.
I hope that this ChatGPT by Open AI review of capabilities and limitations I wrote helps you or someone you know who is considering using it. Thank you for reading. Enjoyed this? Kindly read my other product reviews below.
