It is unusual to be involved at the very beginnings of a whole new information technology. This technology is the Artificial Intelligence Chat Bots. Ask any question of them and they will return a precise readable human response. Importantly the response is a well constructed narrative of a journalistic genre.
It all kicked off with the release in November 2022 of ChatGPT which stands for a Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer developed by Open AI and available to be used by the general public. It received a very popular public reaction. I used it and was impressed. I entered some essay subject requests based upon a Literature Degree Course I new nothing about and it returned some very meaningful responses which were more enlightening than the original question. So it instantly gave me more information back in a structured way upon which it was easy to frame further questions. So the interaction educated me in the subject that I new nothing about at the outset.
Recently I used ChatGPT to establish details about a medical heart condition ( aortic stenosis) and the available medical interventions to fix it. What was significant about the responses was the fact that they were easily understood in a user friendly language. To understand more about ChatGPT launch the Wikipedia link below :-

Now Microsoft have invested in taking out a license on this ChatGPT technology and then undertaking a major overhaul of their Bing search product with a view to having a New Bing search product having the ChatGPT functionality built into it.

But the Company most threatened by the arrival of ChatGPT is Google. Google dominate the search marketplace and ChatGPT could pose a serious threat to the way search is undertaken. Google has invested heavily in a project called Language Model for Dialogue Applications (LaMDA) and this is being used to create a product that is likely to be called Google Bard.

Importantly this will have a major impact on all those that generate the written word. Everybody that writes anything. Some may use the generated narrative unchanged where they essentially cut and paste it into the flyer, poster, book, website, social media post, email, text or any other piece of text they are creating. But possibly more likely is the generated text being used as guidance to or foundation to a written piece they are writing as a human author. This is the start of machine intelligence supplementing or enhancing human intelligence. Much more automatic (machine driven) textual output will be generated with the enviable loss of humans currently undertaking this task. But on the positive side it is likely to improve the written narratives giving them both a machine and human intelligence aspect. Machine intelligence is likely to open up new thought pathways that have previously been limited by the scope of the human brain. Machine intelligence will have access to the world’s largest knowledge and process databases inorder to populate the created narrative with the most profound facts, thoughts and conclusions. It will generate never before communicated hypotheses.
