ChatGPT: The new Oracle of Delphi
AI has become the new topic everybody is talking about. It will change our entire life from our daily awakening till the sun goes down and it’s time to go to bed. How we interact with other people, with our clients and providers, with our relatives, coworkers and bosses, how we work, how our domestic and family lives will be conditioned with AI.
The birth of ChatGPT has meant the introduction of Artificial Intelligence at the service of the common citizen because, let’s not forget that AI techniques were developed many years ago, they are not new and only with the new and incredible state of the art of computing devices this new world that is opening up for all of us has been possible.
Surely most of us who are reading this blog have already interacted with ChatGPT or another AI and are impressed (or scared) by how well the AI does. You are tempted to continue using AI for your daily life: at home, at work,… Even maybe, you are trying to solve your daily work just by asking the AI: ChatGPT always has an answer for anything. ChatGPT is becoming the new Oracle of Delphi.
In Ancient Greek, people used to go to the temples of the city looking for the answers to life that the human being was not capable of solving (now the same thing happens). The most important and famous was the oracle of Delphi. People all around Greece traveled hundreds of kilometers to Delphi to consult the future that awaited them and act accordingly. There was not the slightest scientific proof that they were correct in their predictions, but the confidence of the people was such that the result that the oracle offered was not in doubt. The fame of the Oracle lasted approximately 400 years,….too much time.

Will AI make a more egalitarian world?
AI is here right now and it’s going to change our lives completely.That’s what all of us are all clear about. We will be able to do many things that were more complicated in a much easier way and what is more important, faster.
At first glance we can think: ”Well, this new world is within reach of everybody, so everybody has the same chances and therefore AI will make us all equal”. But, is that true? How long will that last?
We have to consider that AI’s are different between them and new AI will appear over time, each of them planned, analyzed, parameterized, developed, and trained in different ways so they will provide us different results to the same questions or problems we pose to them. That fact will give rise to a new market: the AI market. In this new market, the value proposition will come given from the AI used and another great important factor: the way you, human being, interact with that AI. The market will be in charge to evaluate the accuracy and speed of the results you can give and value the AI work and your own work.

Generative AI text tools as software to cheat
Just right now all of us are experiencing the new world we are building now with the new generative AI tools. They help us to make our tasks much easier than they used to be but also we can fall into temptation to use these tools for cheating.
These tools are making life much easier and we would be silly if we don’t use them, but it is no less true that the more you use it, the less your work is worth and what is more important, your brain works less.
The same could apply to children and teenagers with their homework. In that case the problem turns out to be worse because that’s the moment they are in the learning stage of their lives and the comprehension and relationship tasks are creating and materializing in their brains.
Should I avoid using generative AI for those purposes? Absolutely not, we must use these tools as a support to our work. In fact, generative AI combines what it has learned before and your own input to formulate the answers you are looking for. The result is part from the AI and part from you. What we must do is avoid using it as the one and only rule.
Would we become dumber? Not now, but in the future if we abuse using those tools the next generations’ capabilities would be more reduced. We can not forget that AI get feedback from our own world so this reduction of our capabilities will also have a negative impact on the generative AI processes.
How can we stop that evolution? Sadly there is no unique solution for this problem. It’s a mixture of different factors: work ethic, giving more importance to practical works and tasks, education based on in-class tests, in other words, our world will have to value human tasks better than generative AI ones if we want to stop the process.
All is not lost, we always have the possibility to create new AI’s to detect AI cheating!!!
If you’re building for our AI-generated future or supporting the advancement of this new world, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out to us social@alaba.ai or simply subscribe to this blog

Generative AI: The Next Step
It’s a fact that our world is about to change in a breath with the new advances in AI that have been developed in the past five years. Now, we have a new one step: Large Language Models or “LLMs”.
Already, advances in Large Language Models, or “LLMs,” and other generative ML tooling are streamlining content creation.
LLMs are complex neural networks that can generate text, conversations, conversions text-to-image, audio, video, data,… whatever.
LLM’s are gradually covering all intellectual human tasks. The advances are so fast that we are approaching an inflection point. Sooner than later most online content will be produced by AI’s.
There are some factors that will make this evolution faster:
