Alibaba Group, on Wednesday said it is developing a ChatGPT-style tool that is currently in internal testing, joining a race by tech companies globally to show they are up to speed on generative artificial intelligence (AI) developments.

The Chinese e-commerce group's statement came after the 21st Century Herald newspaper reported that Alibaba is developing a ChatGPT-like dialogue robot which is currently open to employees for testing.

When asked about the newspaper report, which also said that Alibaba might combine the technology with the group’s communication app DingTalk, Alibaba declined to comment.

The company said it had been focused on large language models and generative AI for a number of years. Large language models are natural language processing systems which are trained on massive volumes of text, and are capable of answering and comprehending questions as well as generating new text.

Alibaba's U.S.-listed shares rose 3.2% premarket after the news.

Shares in a number of other Chinese AI technology companies have soared in the past few days due to investor excitement over Open.Ai's ChatGPT, which can generate articles, essays and jokes in response to prompts and has been rated the fastest-growing consumer app in history.

Shares in Chinese search engine giant Baidu jumped by 15% on Tuesday after it said it planned to complete testing of its "Ernie bot" in March. Google owner Alphabet Inc is also planning its own chatbot service and said it will use more artificial intelligence for its search engine.

Microsoft, which owns Open.AI, plans to tie ChatGPT in with its search engine Bing.

On Wednesday, another Chinese tech group JD.com, said it was looking to integrate some methods and technology similar to ChatGPT's into some of its products, such as its e-commerce platform's customer service.

A source familiar with NetEase, told Reuters that the Chinese gaming company plans to deploy similar large language models technology to serve its education business.

Picture this: you are a teacher eagerly checking your inbox, awaiting your students’ homework assignments with anticipation. You’ve assigned a project that you believe will push your students to their limits and unlock their full potential. But as the first submissions start rolling in, you can feel something isn’t quite right. As you begin to grade the assignments, you’re struck by a stark realisation — a number of them are eerily similar, but with unique phrasing and writing styles. It’s not simple cut-and-paste plagiarism but rather the work of advanced AI tools, like ChatGPT, that are able to mimic writing styles and generate undetectable original content. Will you be able to spot the difference and outwit the AI?

Think of artificial intelligence as a tidal wave crashing onto the shores of education. Its arrival has transformed the way we learn, including the way students cheat on homework and assignments. For teachers, it’s like trying to navigate a treacherous ocean — they must find new and creative ways to test their students’ knowledge in a world where technology has made cheating a slippery eel. The challenge is real and the stakes are high. Can we rise to the challenge and chart a course towards an honest and fair education system?

As American writer Mark Twain famously said, “Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.” In the age of AI-assisted cheating, this path is fraught with obstacles. The use of AI to cheat on assignments and online exams undermines the very foundation of education. If grades can be easily manipulated with technology, they cease to be a true measure of a student’s knowledge and understanding. This is a slippery slope that can lead to the devaluation of degrees and the overall purpose of education. In short, AI-assisted cheating threatens to turn the path of growth and enlightenment into a road of “miserable uncertainty.”

As the world searches for high-tech solutions to tackle the problem of AI-assisted cheating, sometimes a quick answer is right in front of us. The viva exam is a tried and true method that has stood the test of time. It is a simple yet powerful tool that provides a comprehensive evaluation of a student’s abilities, giving you a window into their true potential. As educators, we hold the power to shape the future of our students and the education system at large. By prioritising the use of viva exams, we can help foster a culture of academic excellence and instil a strong sense of integrity in our students. The investment of time and effort is more than worth it, as we set our students on the path to success and help ensure the validity and credibility of grades.

In the words of British author Sir Ken Robinson, “If you had told teachers in the 1960s that every child would have their own computer, they would have thought you were crazy.” But now, teachers would be dubbed absurd if they thought that students could stay strangers to AI tools. So, instead of turning a blind eye to AI, I decided to embrace it in my classroom. I taught my students the ins and outs of AI-powered chatbots, inspiring even the most reluctant learners to dive in and discover new ways to learn. However, with this newfound excitement came the issue of AI-assisted cheating. To tackle this, I included marks for viva exams with every home assignment. This gave me a more well-rounded understanding of my students’ abilities, and helped me cultivate a culture of academic excellence and integrity. By embracing AI and incorporating viva exams, I was able to turn a potential problem into a unique opportunity for growth and learning.

Think of the fight against AI-assisted cheating like a battle between Sherlock Holmes and Professor James Moriarty, trying to outsmart each other. Meanwhile, educators are like Dr John Watson, working alongside Holmes, to provide support in solving a crime. So, let’s channel our inner Dr Watson and work together with policymakers to find traditional and innovative solutions to this problem, and ensure academic integrity in the classroom.

Alphabet Inc. lost US$100 billion in market value on Wednesday after its new chatbot shared inaccurate information in a promotional video and a company event failed to dazzle, feeding worries that the Google parent is losing ground to rival Microsoft.

Alphabet shares slid as much as 9% during regular trading with volumes nearly three times the 50-day moving average. They pared losses after hours and were roughly flat. The stock had lost 40% of its value last year but rallied 15% since the beginning of this year, excluding Wednesday's losses.

Reuters was first to point out an error in Google's advertisement for chatbot Bard, which debuted on Monday, about which satellite first took pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system.

Google has been on its heels after OpenAI, a startup Microsoft is backing with around US$10 billion, introduced software in November that has wowed consumers and become a fixation in Silicon Valley circles for its surprisingly accurate and well-written answers to simple prompts.

Google's live-streamed presentation on Wednesday morning did not include details about how and when it would integrate Bard into its core search function. A day earlier, Microsoft held an event touting that it had already released to the public a version of its Bing search with ChatGPT functions integrated.

Bard's error was discovered just before the presentation by Google, based in Mountain View, California.

"While Google has been a leader in AI innovation over the last several years, they seemed to have fallen asleep on implementing this technology into their search product," said Gil Luria, senior software analyst at D.A. Davidson. "Google has been scrambling over the last few weeks to catch up on Search and that caused the announcement yesterday (Tuesday) to be rushed and the embarrassing mess up of posting a wrong answer during their demo."

Microsoft shares rose around 3% on Wednesday, and were flat in post-market trading.

Alphabet posted a short GIF video of Bard in action via Twitter, promising it would help simplify complex topics, but it instead delivered an inaccurate answer.

Tweet

In the advertisement, Bard is given the prompt: "What new discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can I tell my 9-year old about?" Bard responds with a number of answers, including one suggesting the JWST was used to take the very first pictures of a planet outside the Earth's solar system, or exoplanets. The first pictures of exoplanets were, however, taken by the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in 2004, as confirmed by NASA.

"This highlights the importance of a rigorous testing process, something that we're kicking off this week with our Trusted Tester program," a Google spokesperson said. "We'll combine external feedback with our own internal testing to make sure Bard's responses meet a high bar for quality, safety and groundedness in real-world information."

FORMIDABLE COMPETITOR

Alphabet is coming off a disappointing fourth quarter as advertisers cut spending.

"People are starting to question is Microsoft going to be a formidable competitor now against Google's really bread-and-butter business," said King Lip, chief strategist at Baker Avenue Wealth Management, which owns Alphabet and Microsoft shares.

Lip cautioned, though, that concerns about Alphabet may be overblown, saying: "I think still Bing is a far, far cry away from Google's search capabilities."

The new ChatGPT software has injected excitement into technology firms after tens of thousands of job cuts in recent weeks and executive pledges to pare back on so-called moonshot projects. AI has become a fixation for tech executives who have mentioned it as much as six times more often on recent earnings calls than in prior quarters, Reuters found.

The appeal of AI-driven search is that it could spit out results in plain language, rather than in a list of links, which could make browsing faster and more efficient. It remains unclear what impact that might have on targeted advertising, the backbone of search engines like Google.

Chatbot AI systems also carry risks for corporations because of inherent biases in their algorithms that can skew results, sexualize images or even plagiarize, as consumers testing the service have discovered. Microsoft, for instance, released a chatbot on Twitter in 2016 that quickly began generating racist content before being shut down. And an AI used by news site CNET was found to produce factually incorrect or plagiarized stories.

I’ve never found Microsoft Bing to be my favorite search engine. Given that the Redmond giant has been talking about the acquisition of OpenAI for some weeks, perhaps this will soon change. Since then, there have been reports that ChatGPT, which is becoming more and more well-liked, may soon be available on Microsoft’s services. The Office or Outlook suite is the main subject. However, the Redmond company has also formally announced the launch of ChatGPT in Bing, so this is not the only area. This function could transform how we look for content and gain certain Google users.

Artificial intelligence has been around for quite some time. On a daily basis, it was not always apparent. Now, though, that will change as more people use ChatGPT, an extremely intelligent bot. The fact that Microsoft invested in the OpenAI business that was behind it does not surprise me. As a result, the company may reinvent tools and add new features to enhance how people use its services.

MICROSOFT CHALLENGES GOOGLE WITH ITS NEW BING SEARCH ENGINE WITH INTEGRATED CHATGPT

As was widely anticipated, a few hours after Google’s Bard announcement, Microsoft also made a statement. Microsoft officially debuted a new version of its Bing search engine based on artificial intelligence built by OpenAI, a firm in which it has made several recent investments. The technique is comparable to that which forms the basis of ChatGPT.

The greatest software sector of all, search, will be radically changed by AI, according to Satya Nadella, president and CEO of Microsoft. “And now is a new day for research,” says Natella. In order to provide “better search, more thorough answers, a new chat experience, and the capacity to develop content,” Bing will come pre-installed with a newly redesigned version of the Edge browser.

Microsoft has combined search, navigation, and conversation into a “one unified experience” that is accessible from anywhere on the internet. Bing provides both an enhanced version of the standard search interface and richer, more complicated responses produced by looking through search results.

For instance, comprehensive vacation plans may be planned, recipes can be viaewed and comprehensive instructions can be executed, or a new interactive conversation can be accessible that is comparable to ChatGPT chatbot. You may use this conversation to focus your search by asking questions that are more and more relevant until you get the response you need, complete with any relevant connections.

Similar to ChatGPT, Bing may provide you ideas for emails, contest preparation, travel plans, and other things. In any event, Bing will always provide citations for all references.

Microsoft has upgraded the Edge browser by redesigning its user interface and introducing new artificial intelligence services including “chat”. In the first scenario, you may conduct a search and then hone it in the discussion. With composition, you may start with a list of beginning instructions and, as needed, change the tone, structure, or length of the text.

According to a blog post written by Microsoft vice president and marketing manager Yusuf Mehdi, the new Bing is the result of years of research by Microsoft and OpenAI. The next-generation AI model that powers Bing is more powerful than ChatGPT chatbot and is modified exclusively for search. Microsoft refers to it as “Prometheus,” a model that offers greater security and the ability to give more pertinent, fast, and targeted results.

Today, a restricted peek of the new Bing is accessible on desktop. Anyone may sign up for the waitlist on Bing.com. More users will be able to access the preview in the following weeks, and a mobile version will shortly be accessible in beta.

“AI will fundamentally change every category of software, starting with the biggest of all – search. Today, we’re launching Bing and Edge powered by an AI remote and chat to help people get the most out of their search and network experience” said Satya Nadella, president and CEO of Microsoft.

WHAT’S NEW IN BING?

The search engine offers several new features. Microsoft has combined search, browsing, and chat into one unified experience that can be used anywhere on the web. Here are its features:

• Better Search: ​​The new Bing provides an improved version of the familiar search, providing more relevant results. There is a new sidebar here that shows more comprehensive answers if the user needs them.
• Full Answers: Bing searches through results from across the web to find and summarize the answer a user is looking for. Instead of scrolling through several pages of results, Bing will provide an answer to a specific question.
• A new chat experience: For more complex searches, the new Bing offers an interactive chat. It allows you to narrow down the search until you get the full answer that the internet user is looking for, asking for more details.
• Creative content: ChatGPT users have repeatedly asked the bot to generate longer content, poems, etc. The new Bing can generate these types of phrases without any problems. Interestingly, it also cites all of its sources so you can see links to the web content it references.

What makes Bing know so much? Well, it includes four technologies:

• Next generation OpenAI model: Interestingly, Bing runs on a large new next-generation OpenAI language model that is more powerful than ChatGPT and modified specifically for search. It uses key features and advances from ChatGPT and GPT-3.5 – it’s even faster, more accurate and more efficient.
• Microsoft Prometheus: The giant from Redmond has developed a proprietary way of working with the OpenAI model, which allows you to make the best use of its power. This combination provides more relevant, timely and targeted results with higher security.
• Application of artificial intelligence to the basic search algorithm: Thanks to this AI model, even basic search queries are more accurate and relevant.
• New user experience. Microsoft has changed the way you interact with your search engine, browser, and chat, combining them into a unified experience.

  CHATGPT IN BING IN PRACTICE – HOW AND WHEN WILL IT WORK?

  The new Bing is available today in a limited preview for testers. However, you can try it on bing.com, but only on the example of selected queries. Which does not give you many options. However, Microsoft has opened a waiting list for new features. Waiting times can be speeded up by using Bing in your browser. In the coming weeks, Microsoft intends to enlarge the preview version, so more users will see the full capabilities of ChatGPT. Interestingly, the mobile version will soon also be available in preview.

  How does it work now? The main Bing window is already prepared for entering queries. I tested how it would work using the examples provided by Microsoft. After entering the query, in addition to the traditional page link results, the well-known bot (ChatGPT) will be displayed on the right side of the window, which will answer the query. If the user is interested in such content, he will be able to see more and interact with the bot, e.g. by specifying the query.

  In the video attachment, Microsoft demonstrates how communication with the bot may function. I’ll be honest: the new feature is exciting, and I would like to use it. However, doing so will require giving up on Google. It is important to note, however, that Google revealed the Bard competition for ChatGPT. The competition among companies to rule the artificial intelligence industry will be quite exciting to watch.

  GOOGLE UNVEILS BARD: ITS RESPONSE TO CHATGPT

It was just a matter of time until the Web giant announced through a press release that it would be making investments in generative AI for its search engine. Google seems hesitant, though, as “Bard” is now only accessible to “trusted testers” while ChatGPT is available to everyone.

Bard is Google’s response to ChatGPT. The Web giant confirmed the existence of its internal chatbot in a news statement that was widely covered by the media. The post is titled “a big stride in our advancement in AI”. The OpenAI bot’s importance and success must be acknowledged. Google raised the alarm and even called the company’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, to the scene. The threat required a prompt response from them.

We wished we could have been there at the talks that resulted in Sundar Pichai’s uncommon publication of the memo introducing Bard. The CEO of Google emphasizes the importance of this announcement with mysterious claims. Such as “AI is the most promising technology we are working on today”.

WHAT IS GOOGLE BARD?

Bard is dependent on LaMDA, a powerful language model that Google first introduced at Google I/O 2021 but has never been brave enough to share it with the public until now. This will be the case, according to Google, “in the coming weeks”. The chatbot will be saved for “trusted testers” for the time being (sic). A “lite version” of LaMDA, a less sophisticated model that “needs less processing resources, allowing us to deploy to a wider number of users, and allows us to handle a bigger stream of input,” will also be used to power it.

Pichai summarizes in his essay what sets his bot apart from OpenAI’s without once mentioning ChatGPT. “Bard’s goal is to unite our great language models’ strength, intellect, and originality with the depth of the world’s information. It uses data from the internet to deliver current, excellent responses. A direct attack on ChatGPT, which is now restricted to a frozen old mass of data. Whereas Bard would have immediate access to new content.

However, we are unsure about Bard’s specific skills and the format in which he will be made available to us. Will it be right in the search results? or maybe an application? Connected to the Assistant? I’m not sure right now. However, Google provides screenshots and animated GIFs with an interface that resembles that of its search engine as examples of how to use its new robot.

For example, you could ask Bard, “Which is easier to learn between piano and guitar, and how much time does each take to practice?” in order to obtain a response constructed in natural language. Here is the response, published in the press release: “Some say the piano is easier to learn because finger and hand movements are more natural, and learning and memorizing notes can be easier. Others say it’s easier to learn chords on the guitar and you could learn a pattern in a few hours. Music teachers often recommend that beginners practice at least an hour a day. To reach an intermediate level, it generally takes 3 to 6 months of regular practice for the guitar and 6 to 18 months for the piano”Other illustrations, such as organizing a baby shower, creating meals with goods found in your refrigerator, or the most recent findings made by the James Webb telescope, are also emphasized.

Through the new personal space platform, members can design or curate worlds for specific communities of users in the virtual reality space.

As of now, public worlds are available where unlimited people can go. However, Meta is testing a new feature of having private spaces in the public world. These private spaces will have a capacity of 150 members and 25 concurrent visitors.

This limitation on people will ensure control over who is allowed and who is not.

Through the introduction of personal spaces in VR, Meta is targeting specific groups such as book clubs, gaming clubs, or supporters. This will lead to a better connection among the limited audience and also help the creator design a better experience for its members.

The feature testing is limited to a few users to ensure solid feedback.

The Horizon World will be released on the web and on phones

People sit in front of the company logo of Baidu at its headquarters in Beijing.

Chinese internet search major Baidu Inc is planning to launch an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot service similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT in March, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The technology firm plans to launch the service as a standalone application and gradually merge it into its search engine, said the person, who declined to be identified as the information is confidential.

ChatGPT's technology works by learning from vast amounts of data how to answer prompts by users in a human-like manner, offering information like a search engine or even prose like an aspiring novelist.

Chatbots in China currently focus on social interaction whereas ChatGPT performs better at more professional tasks, such as programming and essay writing.

Baidu plans to incorporate chatbot-generated results when users make search requests, instead of only links, the person said.

Baidu declined to comment.

Microsoft Corp has a $1 billion investment in San Francisco-based OpenAI that it has looked at increasing, Reuters has reported. The company has also worked to add OpenAI's image-generation software to its Bing search engine in a new challenge to Alphabet Inc's Google.

Beijing-based Baidu has been investing heavily in AI technology, including in cloud services, chips and autonomous driving, as it looks to diversify its revenue sources.

At a developer conference last month, Baidu unveiled three AI-powered "creators" whose technology allows them to assume the roles of screenwriter, illustrator, editor or animator.

ChatGPT, the popular chatbot from OpenAI, is estimated to have reached 100 million monthly active users in January, just two months after launch, making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history, according to a UBS study on Wednesday.

The report, citing data from analytics firm Similarweb, said an average of about 13 million unique visitors had used ChatGPT per day in January, more than double the levels of December.

"In the 20 years following the internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app," UBS analysts wrote in the note.

It took TikTok about nine months after its global launch to reach 100 million users and Instagram 2-1/2 years, according to data from Sensor Tower.

ChatGPT can generate articles, essays, jokes and even poetry in response to prompts. OpenAI, a private company backed by Microsoft Corp, made it available to the public for free in late November.

On Thursday, OpenAI announced a $20 monthly subscription, initially for users in the United States only. It would provide a more stable and faster service as well as the opportunity to try new features first, the company said.

Analysts believe the viral launch of ChatGPT will give OpenAI a first-mover advantage against other AI companies. The growing usage, while imposing substantial computing cost on OpenAI, has also provided valuable feedback to help train the chatbot's responses.

The company said the subscription revenue would help cover the computing cost.

Availability of the tool has raised questions about facilitation of academic dishonesty and misinformation.

Last month, Microsoft announced another multi-billion-dollar investment in OpenAI in the form of cash and provision of cloud computing.

ChatGPT is a one of text based digital intelligence assistant developed by OpenAI which is trained to optimize language models for dialog through artificial intelligence.

Why they named as GPT instead of ChatBOT : GPT stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, it means they programmed to work together with AI and the capable of understanding natural human language and generating impressively detailed information like a human being reply.

 

GPT captured the human language and convert it to computer language, again decoder decodes the computer language and dividing it to several sequences. Each sequence predicts the probable through trained AI mechanism which is trained on a massive dataset.

Also, this AI trained to reward in several process, Rewards algorithm is designed to learns through trial and error to maximize the rewards.

Good morning

Has anybody started serious work on managing their corporate devices via this solution, especially in deployment and patch management.

I am unable to find an official Microsoft repository for the management of applications in GitHub which tells me Microsoft are not managing devices via WinGet and although I have found work via various MVPs on this new functionality it seems to be limited to initial deployment.

Anybody doing serious work with this?

In my humble unprofessional opinion (hobbyist) this functionality would solve many problems.

I have noticed that Microsoft.Office aka Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise when deployed via this method installs the x86 application on x64 hardware, which is not my preferred solution, so if anybody knows where to find the appropriate switches, I would appreciate a heads up.

I have included my test code (work of another) with a few minor modifications.  Its basically proactive remediation - MEM, ready but for a couple of lines.

Thankyou for reading and like I said, I'm a hobbyist in a test tenant but keen to learn.

Sincerely.

hi guys, i would like to start to windows server, i've watched the deep dive and begginer learning for windows server guide here in this community but there is no laboratory , the best way to learn for me is doing things meanwhile study theory, there are other path with laboratory to follow for begin to be an IT Help Desk and SysAdmin? im not completely new to windows server, so im looking for a more practical (virtual job bases) learning
