A Deep Dive into OpenAI’s ChatGPT and its Plugins
ChatGPT, the chatbot developed by OpenAI, is known for its ability to produce complex and eloquent texts. However, despite this performance, the generated texts can sometimes be incorrect or misleading in content. The chatbot’s processing is based on the probability distribution of words, without any real knowledge or understanding of the content. Its main function...
The Secrets of GPT-4 Leaked?
In a recent development, internal secrets of OpenAI’s GPT-4 have been leaked. This event has sparked discussions across the artificial intelligence community, given that GPT-4 is a significant progression from its predecessor, GPT-3, in terms of both size and complexity. The advancement in the model’s structure and scale is noteworthy, indicating a new phase in...
Ghosts in the AI machinery
Ever wonder how (generative) AI gets so smart? It’s not just algorithms and code. It’s the work of human annotators, the ghosts in the machine, people who sift through mountains of raw data, categorizing and labeling it, all to train the machines we’ve grown to depend on. This ‘ghost’ isn’t an ethereal presence but a...
AI Evolution and Jobs: is it this Time Different?
The anxiety around job loss due to automation, mechanization, AI, and other technological advancements has indeed been a persistent concern. Since the advent of machines like the mechanical loom, the fear of technology taking over human labor has lingered. It’s true that every major technological leap so far has led to an increase in jobs...

Super Apps vs. Large Language Models
In the rapidly evolving world of software, Super Apps and Large Language Models (LLMs) offer two distinct approaches to address user needs and preferences. Super Apps, like WeChat, consolidate various functions and services into a single platform, while LLMs, such as GPT from OpenAI promise a new era of software adaptability through self-modifying code generation....
Structured prompting with the GEPEA method
Prompt Engineering is an emerging discipline that promises to revolutionize our interaction with artificial intelligence systems, particularly with language models like ChatGPT. In this post, we’ll explore a structured method called GEPEA, its applications, and the role of critical feedback (CRIT) in refining AI interactions. We’ll also look at some practical examples and discuss how...
Prompt Engineering: A seismic shift for Programming
The dynamic landscape of technology is marked by constant evolution, innovation, and shifts in paradigms. At its heart, the discipline of programming has been a foundational pillar, driving the revolution from the early days of punch cards to object-oriented design. Traditional programming, with its firm emphasis on structured logic, systematic processes, and deterministic outcomes, has...
