Nowadays, artificial intelligence is playing a significant role in almost all markets. In recent days, there has been talking about creating content, translating, learning languages, and much more with the help of artificial intelligence; and one of the most popular AI at the moment is ChatGPT.
ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI that can create text automatically, as well as translate text from different topics in many languages. This means that it can be used to create content and translate quickly and efficiently, articles, stories, product descriptions, copy, and more.
However, because it is an artificial intelligence, and it is still learning, so much of the final product will have to be checked and edited to improve it. And despite the fact that it is a very good tool for different activities, it is important to keep in mind that, at this moment, its capabilities do not compare to that of a human mind.
How Can ChatGPT Help You?
- Literal translations: If we need the translation of a phrase, we can quickly resort to ChatGPT. But remember, these are AI translations that most likely contain syntax, grammar, and contextualization errors.
- Text generation: ChatGPT can generate text autonomously, which makes it useful for tasks like writing articles, emails, text messages, and so on.
- Automated responses: ChatGPT can be used to generate automated responses to frequently asked questions, which can help reduce the workload of customer support agents.
- Keyword research: Just by typing the main or target keyword and asking the artificial intelligence for related keywords, you can get many suggestions for your articles.
- Language comprehension: ChatGPT can be used as a language comprehension tool. If we don’t understand an email, we can copy it and ask the AI to translate it into our language.
- Text summarization: ChatGPT can summarize large amounts of text, which can be useful for data analysis tasks.
- Writing assistant: ChatGPT can act as a writing assistant, suggesting words or phrases to complete or improve a text.
Will ChatGPT Replace Humans in Certain Jobs?
Although ChatGPT is a very useful tool for AI content creation, AI translation, and many other activities, it is not likely to replace humans in certain jobs, at least not in the near future. This artificial intelligence still needs to be polished and has to learn a lot to carry out work autonomously.
Regarding AI content creation, ChatGPT does not cite reliable sources, it simply takes information from the web, which could not be reliable. On the other hand, it also tends to make grammar mistakes, making sentences sound “robotized” and lacking in charisma. This also happens with translations; using the AI translations with this software generates lack concordance, have cultural and grammatical errors and are very literal.
The creators of this fantastic software may implement many updates to improve the performance of their tool. However, for the moment, the human mind is necessary to ensure that the final product has what it takes to hit the market. So you can rest a little easier, since experts are needed to review the content and translations that ChatGPT does.
Advantages of using ChatGPT:
- Speed: You can create content automatically, which means it can be much faster than typing manually.
- Efficiency: It has a wide variety of themes and formats, which means it can be used for a variety of tasks.
- Personalization: It can be trained with specific content, allowing you to generate personalized articles for a company or industry.
- Accessibility: It is available through an API, which means that it is easy to access and use.
- Cost: Automatic translations through ChatGPT, just like with Google Translate or DeepL, and AI content creation are free.
Disadvantages of using ChatGPT:
- Quality: As ChatGPT is a model based on machine learning, its quality will depend on the content with which it has been trained. This means that the generated content may contain errors or inaccuracies.
- Requires review and editing: Although ChatGPT can create content automatically, it is recommended that you review and edit the content before using it. AI translations and content articles may have grammar and syntax issues, which can result in confusing or difficult-to-understand products.
- Limitations on creativity and originality: Although ChatGPT is capable of auto-generating content, it still has limitations on creativity and originality compared to a human.
- Dependency on data quality: ChatGPT is a data-driven model, so if the data you use has not good quality or is not up-to-date, the generated model may not be accurate or relevant.
- Decontextualization: AI translations are word-for-word, therefore they do not take into account the context in which the text is used, which in many cases will lead to inaccurate or misleading translations.
- Not enough languages: ChatGPT AI translations may have difficulties with rare languages or regional dialects.
In summary, although it is true that many of the comments on the Internet about ChatGPT are written to create fear for the many jobs people could lose, at the moment, that is not the case. ChatGPT is still in the experimental phase and most importantly, it lacks the abilities of human beings, which means it makes a lot of mistakes.
On the other hand, it is important to emphasize the fact that all the content, as well as the translations, this tool makes needs to be reviewed. So, use ChatGPT with caution, have a professional improve what it creates, and make sure you have a good final product for your clients or audience.
