Editnotice

Several people now have also posted messages at Talk:Gemini (chatbot) believing — or pretending — to ask Gemini a question. As the number of chatbots continues to grow, I think it may be beneficial to have a generic editnotice template for talk pages of chatbot or generative AI software. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:37, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, this has also been happening over at Sora on a near-daily basis. Since it doesn't seem likely to end this would be a good way to at least reduce the number of edits that need to be undone. Jamedeus (talk) 07:13, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, see {{Generative AI editnotice}}. InfiniteNexus (talk) 08:48, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wow this looks fantastic! The automatic link to the AI tool is a nice touch, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for your work on this.

If I could make one suggestion, it would be nice to add a bool parameter publicly_available that changes the text around the link. If set to False the text becomes something like "<tool> is not available to the public, but you can read more about it <here>". This would be handy for Sora, Codex, etc (and probably more in the future with the endless hype). Jamedeus (talk) 09:09, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I like this a lot. I think it could help significantly with this issue. I also agree with the idea for a publicly_available parameter. I would additionally suggest maybe including some way (probably either another parameter, or just changing the wording of the notice in general) to adapt the notice to non-chatbot generative AI tools, such as the Sora and Codex models mentioned above, as the existing wording of the notice seems to assume that the tool will be a chatbot. –Gluonz^{talk contribs} 14:25, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added a |public=no parameter to change the wording from "to do so, you may visit" to "learn more at". As for the non-chatbot concern, what wording change do you have in mind? Personally, it sounds pretty general to me, but I'm open to suggestions. InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:38, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the wording seems mostly neutral. I think my concern would mainly be with the wording of “to ask [the AI system] a question”, since that does imply a chatbot. However, I am unsure whether there is an easy way to reword that without making it sound awkward, and the current wording should probably be understandable enough anyway, so I think that the template is essentially good to go for the time being. –Gluonz^{talk contribs} 17:21, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added {{namespace detect}} templates to detect if it's being used in mainspace and tweak it a little bit so it can be used on vandalized articles (not just talk pages). ~~2NumForIce (^speak|_edits) 03:34, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but how to add it somewhere? I cannot find the template on Talk:Sora (text-to-video model) source code. RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:01, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You must be an administrator, page move, or template editor. What page are you trying to add it to? InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:48, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great idea. This has been an annoying problem pretty much ever since GPT became a household name. popodameron ⁠talk 21:53, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

chat.openai.com now redirects to chatgpt.com

?The infobox is now out of date, and because I have no idea how to change the website paramater of the infobox because the Website paramater has for some reason not been filled in could someone else please change it Someone-123-321 (I contribute) 02:54, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The URL is pulled in automatically from Wikidata, so I opened a request over there to change it. We technically could override it here with an infobox parameter, but I don't think it's worth it since the URL redirects and will update automatically when it's changed on wikidata. Jamedeus (talk) 04:43, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's no hurry. The old link(s) still work(s). InfiniteNexus (talk) 21:44, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More on copyright issues

I turned the copyright concerns part of "Reception" into a subsection of the said section, as it is evident that there may be more copyright challenges to the platform. One of these is not mentioned in the article: the Authors' Guild lawsuit vs. OpenAI. Relevant sources mentioning it: from ABC News, from Variety, and from WIRED. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 19:22, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update of the introduction

The introduction describes ChatGPT almost exclusively as a chatbot. Some readers may conclude that it can just read and generate text. I think it would be good to update it, maybe with a paragraph that gives an overview of the current features and potentially talks a bit about GPT-4o, since it's clearly the best model right now and it's multimodal. No need to use complicated words like multimodality, since many readers may not be familiar with the technical jargon. Alenoach (talk) 22:46, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not ChatGPT, that's GPT-4. ChatGPT is "exclusively" a chatbot. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:05, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't the term ChatGPT also include things like speech-to-speech, and perhaps image generation via DALL-E 3? As I understood it, ChatGPT is more like an AI application that can include many subsystems for different things. Alenoach (talk) 18:32, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That still describes a chatbot. DALL-E is a separate thing; multimodality describes GPT-4. InfiniteNexus (talk) 18:58, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting "virtual assistant" from the lead section

ChatGPT is not a virtual assistant. In addition to not having the typical virtual assistant features as Apple's Siri or Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, etc., there is no mention of it being one in OpenAi's What is ChatGPT? FAQ either, which, at the time of writing this, states it was "Updated over a week ago." The newer integrations of ChatGPT with other applications and websites only integrate the chatbot and text generation abilities (mostly because it's the most trained proprietary LLM out there). Ara (talk) 19:44, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Updated over a week ago" does not mean "Updated under two weeks ago". Besides that, I agree with your point. –Gluonz^{talk contribs} 00:24, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Which is why I specified that those are the words stated on the FAQ page at the time I created this topic, and made no claims about the actual updation date. Thanks. Ara (talk) 04:52, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
