Overview. In the following we try to analyze and contextualize the current known facts surrounding the OpenAI ChatGPT4 (CG4) system.

• CG4: we offer a summary of how OpenAI describes it; put simply, what is CG4?
• Impressions: our focus then moves to examine what some voices of concern are saying;
• Impact: we then shift focus to what is being said about it; we note that in some cases people express astonishment and wonder; in other case they express fear and concern;
• Scenarios: here we focus on how CG4 might be used be used in expected and unexpected ways;

CG4 – what is it: CG4 is a narrow artificial intelligence system, it:

• is based upon and is a refinement of its predecessor, the Chat GPT 3.5 system;

• has been developed using the generative predictive transformer (GPT) model; • has been trained on a very large data set including textual material that can be found on the internet; • is capable of sustaining conversational interaction using text based input provided by a user; • can provide contextually relevant and consistent responses; • can link topics in a chronologically consistent manner and refer back to them in current prompt requests; • is a Large Language Models that uses prediction as the basis of its actions; • uses deep learning neural networks and very large training data sets; • uses a SAAS model; like Google Search, Youtube or Morningstar Financial;

Impressions – What are people saying about it? • possess no consciousness, sentience, intentionality, motivation or self reflectivity; • is a narrow artificial intelligence; • is available to a worldwide 24/7 audience; • can debug and write, correct and provide explanatory documentation to code; • explain its responses • write music and poems • summarize convoluted documents or stories • score in the 90% level on the SAT, Bar and Medical Exams • provide answers to homework, • self critiques and improves own responses; • provide explanations to difficult abstract questions • calibrate its response style to resemble known news presenters or narrators; • provides convincingly accurate responses to Turing Test questions;

Impressions – Some Positive. • has demonstrated performance that suggests that it can pass the Turing Test; • CG4 derivative such as a CG5 could exhibit artificial general intelligence (AGI) capability; • emergent capabilities; • spatial, mathematical reasoning;

Impressions – Some Concerns. • knowledge gaps: inability to provide meaningful or intelligent responses on certain topics; • deception: might be capable to evade human control, replicate and devise independent agenda to pursue; • intentionality: possibility of agenda actions being hazardous or inimical to human welfare; • economic disruption: places jobs at risk because it can now perform some tasks previously defined within a job description; • emergence: unforeseen, uncontrollable capabilities; Bengali self taught; • “hallucinations”: solution, answers not grounded in real world;

Impact. • Speculations. The range of possible areas that CG4 is very broad; in fact, society wide; therefore we will try to maintain focus by presenting a few possible scenarios of how its capabilities might be used; • Influence, Persuasion; • Novel capabilities;
