id=\"block-RAE7UmYxWA\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">Have you heard of ChatGPT? This is almost a rhetorical question, because who hasn&apos;t heard of the much-hyped text generator? The hype around the language assistant and the underlying language model is huge. People are talking mostly about its benefits and potential applications, but sometimes also about possible misinformation and misuse of the technology to cheat. We take a look at the details that need to be considered in order to use it appropriately.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-NXSQK4tofp\" id=\"block-NXSQK4tofp\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-nRACYBBAS0\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-nRACYBBAS0 nectar-blocks-column__wrapper\">\n<h2 id=\"block-aPaS8fNHSq\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h3\">Hype with a factor of 100<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-zXV780WMvP\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">After the US provider OpenAI released access to the system as a demo version at the end of November 2022, it has made an unprecedented start. After only five days, ChatGPT had more than 1 million users, a figure that took Facebook ten months and Instagram two months to reach. Currently, about 100 million people per month use the service &ndash; an unprecedented level of hype in recent digital history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-qisymNxGOk\" id=\"block-qisymNxGOk\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-2Wt3HfBHME\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-2Wt3HfBHME nectar-blocks-column__wrapper\">\n<h2 id=\"block-WySNJbM9Is\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h3\">What is ChatGPT and what can it do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-gaWwIlFpWe\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">&quot;Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer&quot; is a language model (Large Language Model\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oneword.de\/technologien\/ki-systeme\/\">LLM<\/a>), which is based on artificial intelligence or a deep neural network. It has been trained with enormous amounts of data to mimic human language. Thanks to its chat interface, it enables direct interaction. It understands text input, can respond to it in a way that seems natural, and delivers text responses that sound as if they come from humans. The system can answer questions or carry out instructions, for example summarise texts, put content into poem form or provide programming code for specific tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-rVTtbtYVec\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">This sets ChatGPT apart from previous AI-based language models, which did not deliver what they promised. In 2016, Microsoft took its Tay chatbot offline after just 24 hours, while Facebook&apos;s Galactica lasted three days last year. Both quickly went off the rails, generating racist or meaningless statements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-eXOVUSeBoH\" id=\"block-eXOVUSeBoH\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-VuRmepeUed\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__wrapper parent-block-block-VuRmepeUed\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-VuRmepeUed\">\n<h3 id=\"block-Gna2CmX8kV\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">ChatGPT marks a turning point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-wyJb3BoFq9\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">ChatGPT is turning traditional text production on its head and giving AI-based applications an impressive boost. Quite a few text producers feel existentially threatened by this, and competitors are under pressure to act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-dt5jdKdzu2\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">And ChatGPT continues to develop at a rapid pace \u2013 currently through the integration of GPT-4, a data model trained on a multiple of its predecessor GPT-3.5 that can process not only text but also images as input. Another major turning point is how it is made available: while earlier language models were used mainly in research or embedded in third-party applications, ChatGPT\u2019s chat interface enables simple interaction and everyday use. Whether students, editors, speechwriters, or programmers \u2013 anyone can access the system after registering with OpenAI.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-8eDpOzjK41\" id=\"block-8eDpOzjK41\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-KMtFnmKDbY\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__wrapper parent-block-block-KMtFnmKDbY\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-KMtFnmKDbY\">\n<h3 id=\"block-RJpRjmx5gp\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">Parallels to machine translation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-gQEZD3kWAO\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">It is precisely this ease of delivery, coupled with linguistically very good results, that the translation industry has been familiar with for many years from neural machine translation (NMT). Here, too, there was real hype when providers such as DeepL made the service available free of charge via a web interface and delivered fluent results. And just as with NMT, the question as to whether the systems will soon make humans superfluous is now being asked everywhere with regard to language models.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-scOywzpYAF\" id=\"block-scOywzpYAF\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-nhAjwAdQ6U\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__wrapper parent-block-block-nhAjwAdQ6U\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-nhAjwAdQ6U\">\n<h2 id=\"block-YLUMymcJBq\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h3\">How does ChatGPT work and what does it deliver?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-QQWweac1Sk\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">ChatGPT suggests texts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-m3SeLMqiU1\" id=\"block-m3SeLMqiU1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-ruxt0ZlGRd\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-ruxt0ZlGRd nectar-blocks-column__wrapper\">\n<p id=\"block-OJbIHOnq24\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">At first glance, the results of the AI-based language model are impressive. The subtleties become apparent when you take a second look. ChatGPT generates very simple texts that are put together from the input provided and the information found in the training material. The question is usually repeated, and unusually often, the subjunctive is used &ndash; indicating that a suggestion rather than facts is being offered. The responses may therefore simply be wrong and, moreover, cannot always be reproduced because the system has no fixed answers to questions but calculates them on the basis of statistical probabilities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-YcANsK53WE\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-YcANsK53WE nectar-blocks-column__wrapper\">\n<p id=\"block-pVpmDb6smA\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">The choice of words is simple, which often doesn&apos;t matter in short texts. With longer texts and more complex topics, however, the clumsy sentence structure is noticeable. If you make more than one request, not only will you see the style repeated, but you will also quickly recognise underlying patterns. On the whole, the results soon repeat themselves.<br>And while it is certainly fun and useful for private use &ndash; birthdays, humorous speeches, Valentine&apos;s cards &ndash; to have a text reworded as a poem or in the style of someone famous, these usage scenarios tend not to be of interest in a business context.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-m9ucfdyyh3\" id=\"block-m9ucfdyyh3\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-ouLgy2ClVu\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-ouLgy2ClVu nectar-blocks-column__wrapper\">\n<h2 id=\"block-6pbaef01nr\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h3\">What are the limitations of ChatGPT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-OG8TWBG9tE\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">ChatGPT is not up to date<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-J0Hn178aoq\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">To move from hype to productive use, you have to know the limits of the system. First and foremost: ChatGPT does not provide information in real time, but based on the 2021 training material. The system itself points out that it cannot provide up-to-date information, but a two-year gap in information may seriously distort the results in some areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-zDsStDuCjU\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">ChatGPT is neither a truth machine nor a search engine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-C8YCaYCRuH\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">Asked which countries lie between France and Portugal, ChatGPT replied in February 2023 that these countries are direct neighbours. Asked about the length of their shared border, the answer was that no common border exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-dfZHJghq59\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">The example clearly shows that the factual accuracy of the output probably represents the biggest risk of use. This is because the language model is data-centric AI that draws on an enormous amount of data and texts from all accessible sources on the Internet and from all this generates an answer to questions posed. It is completely unclear where the answer ultimately comes from and whether several sources were combined to produce it. The machine&rsquo;s answers may therefore &ndash; as can be easily seen in the above example relating to world knowledge &ndash; never be taken as factually correct, but always only used as information that must be checked and verified. This phenomenon is also well known from machine translation: NMT also adds content or omits words or parts of sentences and does not provide reliable results.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-nj4h7c4tMl\" id=\"block-nj4h7c4tMl\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-1xovvlzYbh\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-1xovvlzYbh nectar-blocks-column__wrapper\">\n<h2 id=\"block-zk9qYKqCob\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h3\">What is the best way to use ChatGPT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-QZrKBPu9Mu\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">Just as with machine translation, ChatGPT is a tool that responds to input and delivers output. And for both tools, it can be said that artificial intelligence can deliver good results and, used wisely, can increase productivity in text creation and translation.<br>However, what is crucial in both areas is what happens to the output, whether and how it is verified and for what tasks the tools are used at the end of the day. There are helpful tips for both steps &ndash; input and output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-PrMkCgud2d\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">Ask the right questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-zEuH959N4B\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">ChatGPT does not respond to complete questions, but to prompts, i.e. parts of sentences or keywords that are used as input for an AI tool. It is therefore important to formulate precise and clear prompts that the system understands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row

security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-Aa7j6sR7jo\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">According to the provider, ChatGPT has been trained to anonymise or encrypt sensitive information to ensure confidentiality. But of course the data entered is stored and used to further train the model. As with machine translation, it is therefore important not to enter sensitive information to minimise the risk of unauthorised access or misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-d7vIzplS5T\" id=\"block-d7vIzplS5T\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-nlhk27QK4q\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__wrapper parent-block-block-nlhk27QK4q\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-nlhk27QK4q\">\n<p id=\"block-F9F8CE62Fi\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\"><em>&quot;A response from the system should never be seen as a final answer, but always as a suggested text that needs to be checked.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-r9lIyu1AoS\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">Check the facts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-dAAdokETf0\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">Probably the most important point is to check the facts in texts generated by ChatGPT to verify that they are correct. Here, too, there is a clear parallel with machine translation: while most users are confident enough to check and correct translations in the English they are familiar with, many will be stuck when it comes to Czech texts, for example. Going back to the example we used above, while most users know that ChatGPT has omitted Spain and Andorra as countries between France and Portugal, the length of the shared border between these countries would certainly be something they would need to research and verify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-clwi0rPfBQ\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">Since ChatGPT draws its information from all available sources, it is always possible that the results are wrong or inaccurate. A response from the system should therefore never be seen as a final answer, but always as a suggested text that needs to be checked. Just as a machine translation should never be published without being checked first, and should only be used in raw form to gather information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-hdLGJpFHh8\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h5\">Be aware of possible uses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-mlF12Vb5s3\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">ChatGPT can optimise or even automate parts of the text creation process.

Some classic sources of error \u2013 such as incorrect references across sentence boundaries \u2013 barely play a role anymore with language data models, because the entire text is treated as context. Initial tests showed, however, that the results depend heavily on the prompts used and currently range from good to moderate compared with generic systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-pFZkfUurJn\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">The time factor also plays a role: a translation request to ChatGPT currently takes up to thirty times longer than, for example, one to DeepL. Even so, integration into translation tools is already underway so that ChatGPT can be used directly as a translation source in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-RxSLTcfcQj\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">Currently, more interesting than pure machine translation are application scenarios in the field of terminology extraction, keyword research and the reformulation of existing translations. Here too, the transition from hype to productive use can already be seen, such that the language model is able to usefully support more and more real and meaningful possible uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-row nectar-block nectar-blocks-row nectar-blocks-row__inner nectar-blocks-row__wrapper parent-block-block-QgP16v4avP\" id=\"block-QgP16v4avP\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-column nectar-blocks-column nectar-block\" id=\"block-N12lzr4Jy2\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__wrapper parent-block-block-N12lzr4Jy2\"><div class=\"nectar-blocks-column__inner nectar-blocks-column__content-wrap parent-block-block-N12lzr4Jy2\">\n<p id=\"block-8VcganEC65\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\"><em>&quot;For the foreseeable future, artificial intelligence is a proven additional tool and welcome assistant,<\/em><br><em>but not a substitute for human intellect.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"block-WeS2uOfeS2\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-h3\">Don&apos;t believe the hype?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-Q9FeVZ2Xcc\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">As with machine translation, the hype surrounding ChatGPT is totally understandable: impressive results, it&apos;s very easy to use and makes you feel you can solve previously time-consuming tasks at the touch of a button. However, the fear that the systems could make humans superfluous or replace them &ndash; translators in the case of NMT and text creators in the case of language models &ndash; quickly resonates. But, when used productively, especially in a professional environment, the limitations quickly become apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-xA2W4oWqgO\" class=\"wp-block-nectar-blocks-text nectar-blocks-text nectar-font-body\">For the foreseeable future, artificial intelligence is therefore a proven additional tool and welcome assistant, but not a substitute for human intellect. It will be able to significantly increase productivity in some professions and reduce the effort required for simple and routine tasks. It is not yet a threat to technical editing and content creation.
