People are used to hearing about new services, products and technologies, but since the boom of Internet in the 90’s the quantity of new technologies has been growing significantly, mainly in the last few years. Some examples worth mentioning are, Cloud Computing, Metaverse, ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence (AI), just to name a few.

Based on the above, the main purpose of this article is to bring the definitions of ChatGPT and generative Artificial Intelligence as well as trends, ecosystem players, and real use cases to help you understand this subject and clarify how to apply it in the real world.

Let’s play and bring some technical context based on definitions given by ChatGPT itself:

“Generative AI refers to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate new, original data, such as images, audio, video, or text, that is similar to what humans can create. It uses a type of deep learning algorithm known as a generative model, which is trained on a large dataset of real-world examples to learn the underlying patterns and structure of the data.”

“Hello! I'm ChatGPT, a large language model created by OpenAI. I'm based on the GPT-3.5 architecture, which means I'm designed to process natural language and generate human-like responses to a wide range of questions and prompts.”

As we can see, the provided answers for both questions are very natural when compared to humans’ answers and I have also compared these definitions to some technical document definitions, and I would say these are really accurate.

There is also its new release, the ChatGPT-4, and this new version is more powerful than its predecessor, for instance, the system can pass the bar exam, solve logic puzzles, and even give you a recipe to use up leftovers based on a photo of your fridge.

Key ecosystem players

Big tech players such as Google and Microsoft have recently been leading in the generative AI market. While Microsoft announced the integration of ChatGTP within its bing search engine, Edge browser, and released Microsoft 365 Copilot, Google has launched the Bard AI chatbot. Salesforce has also competed by launching Einstein GPT, and announcing a $250 million fund to promote a start-up ecosystem in generative AI technologies.

News and business use cases

Recently, Duolingo and Microsoft have announced they are integrating their services with ChatGPT-4.

Use Case 1: Duolingo Max: A learning experience powered by GPT-4

Duolingo Max is a new subscription tier that gives learners access to two brand-new features and exercises: Explain My Answer and Roleplay . Both are powered by the newest, most powerful generative AI technology, ChatGPT-4.

Explain My Answer offers learners the chance to learn more about their response in a lesson whether their answer was correct or incorrect and Roleplay allows learners to practice real-world conversation skills with world characters in the app.

As you can imagine, this kind of new feature will improve and change the way students learn new languages and probably accelerate the learning process due to the fact that it will not just bring the correct answers but instead of that it will also interact with students.

Use Case 2: Announcement of Microsoft 365 Copilot – your copilot for work

“Today marks the next major step in the evolution of how we interact with computing, which will fundamentally change the way we work and unlock a new wave of productivity growth,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “With our new copilot for work, we’re giving people more agency and making technology more accessible through the most universal interface — natural language.”

Copilot is integrated into Microsoft 365 in two ways. Embedded in the Microsoft 365 apps you use every day — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and more — to unleash creativity, unlock productivity and uplevel skills. Microsoft also announced an entirely new experience: Business Chat.

Business Chat works across the LLM (Large Language Models), the Microsoft 365 apps, and your data — your calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and contacts — to do things you’ve never been able to do before. You can give it natural language prompts like “Tell my team how we updated the product strategy,” and it will generate a status update based on the morning’s meetings, emails and chat threads.

With Copilot you decide what to keep, modify or discard. Now, you can be more creative in Word, more analytical in Excel, more expressive in PowerPoint, more productive in Outlook and more collaborative in Teams.
