The rise of the machines
Machines and artificial intelligence (AI) have been part of popular discussion since Samuel Butler authored Erewhon (1872), where his satirical utopian society explored the morality of conscious machines as a natural evolution of the Industrial Revolution. One-hundred and fifty years later, OpenAI released GPT-4, introducing the world to AI that can respond like a human (and do so much more!), causing us to revisit many of the same ideas.
While GPT has had several iterations (hence the -4), the latest advances have made a tremendous impact on our world. From the classroom to government, AI is front of mind in conversations across all domains. As a baseline, generative pre-trained transformers (GPT) are a family of neural network models that use transformer architecture to allow bots to produce text and image content and engage in conversations much like a human would. In its simplest sense, GPT-4,
