Before the emergence of ChatGPT, Claude or other Chat AI tools, we were already using AI in our everyday lives. Narrow AI, which are AI tools developed to perform a certain tasks, have existed as parts of search engines, digital assistants, and self-driving cars for at least a decade. Examples of narrow AI include:
Strong AI or Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is purely theoretical. AGI is defined as AI that has human-level cognitive abilities across all domains and which has self-awareness and reasoning abilities.
ChatGPT is an advanced Narrow AI. ChatGPT and similar services combine various narrow AI abilities that have been around for a while, such as natural language processing and machine learning into one new narrow AI component known as large language model (LLM) generative AI. A large language model, or LLM, is a deep learning algorithm that can recognize, summarize, translate, predict and generate text and other content based on "knowledge" gained from massive datasets. This results in a highly user-friendly interface design that can rapidly generative content.
