In May 2023, Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard reported on a remarkable story concerning a rare subject. A man wrote a book regarding this subject and shortly after a replica of a ChatGPT was posted on Amazon. This was unexpected as the book was considered to be a unique piece of work.
The man’s book, despite being about a rare subject, gained much attention due to its realism. Predictions stated that the book itself would be widely recognized, yet the situation turns out to be quite the opposite. Upon being released, the book encountered a replica of a ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot, from Amazon, as it seemed to heavily engage in a conversation between people and machines.
The Nieman Journalism Lab also mentioned “the ChatGPT replica” and its relationship to the book released by the man. According to them, the ChatGPT seemed to be a “replica” since it was capable of creating a discussion with people just like the man’s book. Moreover, the ChatGPT was said to be sophisticated and able to answer questions and engage in discussion.
The man responsible for the original book is an unknown author, whose identity remains unrevealed. He wrote the book to inform people on matters related to the rare subject and his work contains in-depth information regarding the subject.
The ChatGPT was created by Amazon, a company widely known for its innovative work concerning the technological industry. Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, Amazon has created multiple products in the past and the ChatGPT, although it is a replica, is no exception. The ChatGPT was created by Amazon’s research and development department, who have previously worked on other projects regarding AI technology.
Amazon’s AI technology has been a huge success so far as it has definitely had a huge impact on our society. Its products, such as the ChatGPT, are highly sophisticated which raises the question of how the unknown author’s book could compete with such a strong competitor. Ultimately, despite the man’s effort in producing a quality book, the ChatGPT eventually managed to take over the market with its superior technology.
