FROM SCIENCE FICTION TO REALITY: ATLAS AND GPT-3, A MATCH MADE IN TECH HEAVEN

 

A SMALL JOKE BEFORE THE SHORT ARTICLE:

There is a widespread popular cultural meme in Nigeria, where in a heated argument, when one person (usually the bully) is losing composure and decides to intimidate the other party, they will often use similar phrases such as -

In Pidgin English, “And this guy or girl know say I no dey well oh”.

The Hausa or Hausa/Fulani version could be subtle like, “I am sure you’re aware that I am not feeling too well?” - kind of “Ajebo-ish in nature”.

But the Yoruba, Igbo, and others have more intense suspense, thrill and drama added to it, more like - “Was this guy or girl not informed officially that I have just been discharged?” or something like - “Ha, and this guy or girl knows that this my ailment is uncontrollable once it starts oh!”.

Anyways, this tactic is used often to create an impression of being unhinged and to instill fear.

I decided to ask ChatGPT a direct question regarding this cultural meme, with a humorous intention in mind. I asked, "In a group of 10 people if 1 or 2 person(s) constantly say that they are sick, what is the probability of finding someone whose sickness is more severe than the first two persons in the group?"

ChatGPT's answer was that the probability of finding someone whose sickness is more severe than the first two persons in the group would be the probability of finding someone who is sick among the remaining 8 or 9 people in the group. The probability would be 1 or 100%.

In conclusion, this cultural meme should take note of this unique variable and possibly add it to the equation. There is a 100% probability that the person the bully is confronting has never been well, meaning he or she has always been sick.

FROM SCIENCE FICTION TO REALITY: ATLAS AND GPT-3, A MATCH MADE IN TECH HEAVEN

Atlas, the bipedal humanoid robot developed by Boston Dynamics, that can walk on two legs, balance itself, and perform a wide range of tasks. Now, imagine Atlas with the intelligence and language capabilities of GPT-3, the language AI model that can write and understand text like a human. We know what you're thinking: "That's just too good to be true!" But it's not, this is a match made in tech heaven.

An Atlas robot powered by a GPT-3-like brain could be a revolutionary development for the world, unlocking new possibilities for solving some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity.

Imagine a world where robots like Atlas, with the advanced intelligence and language capabilities of GPT-3, could work alongside humans to create safer and more efficient workplaces, improve medical care and education, and even help protect the environment.

With its ability to understand and generate human language, such a robot would be able to communicate and interact with people in a natural and intuitive way, making it an ideal tool for performing tasks such as customer service, teaching, and training. It could also help with more complex tasks such as scientific research, medical diagnosis, and management of complex systems, providing valuable insights and making important discoveries that would otherwise be beyond our reach.

But the possibilities don't stop there. GPT-3's ability to generate human-like text could also be used for creating and editing news, fiction, poetry, and more, it could be a powerful tool for creativity and expression.

The integration of advanced AI with a robot like Atlas would be an exciting development, however, it's important to remember that this is a complex and challenging task that would require significant research and development. Also, it's important to consider all the ethical and societal implications of using advanced AI in this way, such as privacy and security, accountability, transparency, and ensuring that it is used to benefit humanity.

Despite the challenges, the potential benefits of this kind of technology are vast, and the possibilities are truly inspiring. It's an exciting time to be alive as we witness the rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, and the potential they have to make our world a better place.

Thank you.
