ChatGPT, a powerful artificial intelligence chatbot, has recently gained viral attention due to a typo in one of its responses. On Reddit, a screenshot of ChatGPT’s response to a prompt about a pet shop recording concern included an unexpected incorrect word – ‘infrishing’ instead of the correct ‘infringing’. The post quickly gained traction, catching the eye of thousands of viewers.
The incident has sparked discussion amongst Reddit users, with some claiming that this proves technologies like ChatGPT are not reliable and can still produce unexpected mistakes. Others have guessed that the AI model may have learned the incorrect spelling in its training data. One user shared their firsthand experience with ChatGPT’s typos, claiming it also makes typos in other languages, although English is less prone to errors.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, recently released an iOS version of the app into several countries around the world. With the growing popularity of AI chatbot technology, this viral typo has once again raised the debate about human jobs being replaced by machines. Although AI chatbots can learn a lot and solve many problems with ease, this incident has proved that real life human oversight cannot always be replaced. This is a crucial reminder that proves that no matter how advanced the technology may become, human editors are still essential as without them, errors such as typos will continue to occur.
