11. Chat on GPT – 18 April 2023
    Human or Machine?
    VERSION A
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    "Any sufficiently advanced technology is
    indistinguishable from magic." As Arthur C.
    Clarke famously said, advanced technology can
    often seem like magic, and that's certainly true
    when it comes to ChatGPT.
    Welcome to our public seminar! Fear not, we're
    not here to perform any wizardry or conjure up
    any spells. Instead, we're here to explore the
    fascinating world of ChatGPT, a technology that
    is transforming the way we interact with
    language and information.
    Today, we'll learn about how ChatGPT works,
    and how it's being used in various fields. So,
    let's dive into this magical world of ChatGPT,
    with open minds and a sense of wonder.
    Thanks for being here, and let's have some fun!
    VERSION B
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    "The limits of my language means the limits of
    my world." As philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein
    once noted, language shapes our reality and
    worldview, and ChatGPT is expanding those
    limits in new and exciting ways.
    Welcome to our public seminar, a cutting-edge
    technology that is changing the way we interact
    with language and information. I am excited to
    see so many of you here today as we delve into
    the workings of ChatGPT, explore its capabilities
    and limitations, and discuss its potential
    applications in various fields.
    So, let's push the boundaries of our
    understanding of language and technology, and
    discover together what ChatGPT has to offer.
    Thank you for being here, and let's get started!
