◆ChatGPT, human enemy or friend? Is it a friend or foe?
Various companies have already started to use ChatGPT, and of course, you can use it too. For example, if you search for AI Chat-kun in the home search of the LINE application, you will find many.
While conventional AI chat systems tend to use a clichéd “choose the next closest option” style of interaction, ChatGPT makes you feel as if you are chatting with a human. Conversations are quite smooth.
If ChatGPT is used more in business in the future, it will probably take many jobs. And the problems don’t stop there.
It is feared that once ChatGPT becomes widespread, people’s dependence on AI will increase.
Some of you reading this may think that AI does not make mistakes, but ChatGPT makes mistakes often. What is troubling is that it answers wrong answers as if they are correct.
If the person asking the question is not familiar with the field, it will be difficult to detect that ChatGPT’s answer is wrong. In the unlikely event that the wrong answer is disseminated, the world may assume that it is the correct answer.
The world has already started to regulate ChatGPT. How to deal with texts written by AI, such as in the fields of education and research, will surely be a major issue in the years to come.

◆Why no innovative service from Japan?
By the way, have you noticed that most of the innovative services such as ChatGPT are currently provided by foreign companies?
Why are there no innovative service providers in Japan? An important key to answering this question is the Winny scandal that occurred in 2004.
Winny is the name of file-sharing software. Winny was developed by a genius programmer named Isamu Kaneko, who was a specially-appointed assistant professor at the University of Tokyo, and simply put, it allowed users to exchange data with others for free.
P2P is now the communication method used for crypto assets such as Bitcoin. Seven years before Bitcoin was introduced, P2P-based technology had already been developed in Japan.
In 2004, Mr. Kaneko was arrested for aiding and abetting a crime.
Kaneko fought the Kyoto Prefectural Police in court and was acquitted seven and a half years later, but only six months later he died of an acute myocardial infarction.
After the Winny incident, young IT engineers began to shy away from development, which is said to have been a major factor in the slowdown of IT in Japan.
I would like all FAN members to know that there is a tendency in Japan not to accept such new technologies.
