Why OpenAI is the Best Playground on the Internet Right Now

Quick Disclaimer: By now, you may have seen or heard of ChatGPT. We'll be getting to the details of that in a later blog post! For the time being, take a look at the bigger picture offered by OpenAI!



OpenAI, a research and deployment company focusing on Artificial General Intelligence, created an awesome Artificial Intelligence playground for everyone. A lot of their examples revolve around providing a result to a textual query in natural language. Anything goes with their image generator using DALL-E and text generator using GPT-3. More importantly, they offer OpenAI Playground to try out for yourself.


A tool like this is still well under development, but is a fascinating innovation that can spark thoughts or at least get you moving in the right direction when you're trying to find the next steps- all powered by Artificial Intelligence!


What is OpenAI’s Playground?

Let’s just use their tech to answer that question.


Jon: "Write a blog narrative about OpenAI's Playground."

OpenAI Text Generator: "OpenAI's Playground is a great place to learn about artificial intelligence and machine learning. It's a web-based platform that allows you to experiment with different algorithms and see how they work. You can also create you own models and share them with the community."


Simple, but effective use of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU). A simple statement written but the user generates all types of interesting results.


Jon: "Write an email to my boss saying I am sick and can't come to work"

OpenAI Text Generator:

"Hi boss,

I am sorry for the short notice, but I am feeling really sick and won't be able to come into work today. I'll try to get better as soon as possible and will let you know if I need to take any more time off.

Thanks,

[Your Name]"


It can even write python scripts!

Jon: "Write a python script for a Raspberry Pi to turn on and off an LED every 5 seconds."

OpenAI Text Generator:

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO

import time


GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD)

GPIO.setup(12, GPIO.OUT)


while True:

GPIO.output(12, GPIO.HIGH)

time.sleep(5)

GPIO.output(12, GPIO.LOW)

time.sleep(5)


Not saying the code is 100% correct, but with some training it could definitely be useful!


Now onto DALL-E.

Let’s see what the image generator can do.


Jon: "An office building on mars."

OpenAI DALL-E:

Jon: "A robot playing American Football."

OpenAI DALL-E:

Maybe not exactly what I was looking for, but gets the ideas going!


So, why are these open-source and free trials the best playground on the internet right now?

Simple and innovative toys to play with, provide demonstrations to work with, and spark innovation for how it can be used with business technologies or in everyday life with consumer technologies. At a very minimum, it can spark topics to get around a writer’s block.


Jon: "Provide 5 blog topics about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning"

OpenAI Text Generator:

1) How artificial intelligence is changing the landscape of business

2) How machine learning is being used to transform industries

3) The ethical considerations of artificial intelligence

4) The future of artificial intelligence

5) The impact of artificial intelligence on society
