Na semana passada, talvez na quinta-feira, já não tenho a certeza, o chatGPT esteve inoperacional. Por curiosidade fui ver se aparecia nas tendências do Twitter em português... e nada.
Sintomático...
Sempre que penso em AI penso nas palavras de Kasparov:
"Algures li uma afirmação de Kasparov que dizia que um grande mestre perdia sempre contra um supercomputador, mas que um jogador mediano com um computador mediano, juntos batiam sempre o supercomputador."
Na revista Rotman deste Outono em "ChatGPT: What Leaders Need to Know" encontro:
"Curt Nickisch: In late 2022, people started talking about how ChatGPT was poised to change work as we know it. What is so special about this technology?
Ethan Mollick: ChatGPT-3, which is the base generation of this technology, was around for about a year, and it was okay. It worked at or near the level of a D-minus student. But we have since crossed a threshold of ability that has made ChatGPT incredibly useful. It can now achieve the output of a B-minus student. And if you use a more advanced model like the one on Microsoft's Bing search engine, you can achieve the level of an A-minus student. This represents radical progress in a very short period of time.

CN: What kind of opportunities does this open up for companies?
EM: There is no rulebook or manual to work from, so you have to explore for opportunities yourself. As indicated, this AI is really good at writing computer code and common documents like memos or reports. If you need to write a letter of recommendation or a performance review, it will do an amazing job. But when you start to incorporate the Bing version or some of the other new AIs coming our way, you'll be able to get it to do complex, multi-layered tasks. For example, you'll be able to say, 'Look up everything about the precision agriculture industry and give me a table showing the growth rates for each company along with their strengths and weaknesses, using the perspective of Michael Porter's Five Forces Model.' This type of request could save someone up to 12 hours of work and provide a document that they can build on - because as good as it is, you do still have to check Al's work."
A verdade é que entre Maio e Agosto últimos estive envolvido num projecto usando AI e foi impressionante o ganho em produtividade.
E na sua empresa, como está a ser aproveitada a AI?
Ainda na mesma Rotman deste Outono em "ChatGPT: What Leaders Need to Know":
"SP: Gillian, Do you think this technological moment is different from previous ones?GH: I do. What is critical here is the speed with which AI transforms entire markets. For example, in the legal domain, I've seen how, in just a few minutes, tools like ChatGPT can do what it would usually take a week for a lawyer to do. That is going to be very disruptive, and the potential scale is massive. Because it's a general purpose technology, it can and will show up everywhere."
Ainda na mesma Rotman deste Outono em "ChatGPT: What Leaders Need to Know":
"You can't call up a consulting company and ask them how to implement ChatGPT across your company, like you would with Salesforce or some other system application. Over time, there will be more organizational applications, but so far, the main story is at the individual level. And people are using it. I guarantee you, there are secret users of ChatGPT in every organization who have cut their workload by two thirds and don't want to tell anyone about it. I'm hearing examples all the time. It's easy to get started; you just need to spend an hour or two learning how it works and what it's good and bad at.
I've talked to tons of people who are big fans. First of all, virtually everyone in programming is using it to help with coding. They've switched over from Stack Exchange to ChatGPT. But increasingly I'm talking to managers who have just automated tasks like performance reviews, grant applications or regulatory compliance. This is a general-purpose technology, as its name suggests."
