prompter: What do you think about ChatGPT?

assistant: As an open source alternative to ChatGPT, I do not have personal opinions. However, I can provide objective information about ChatGPT's capabilities and limitations based on its architecture and training data.

ChatGPT is a powerful language model based on the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) architecture developed by OpenAI. It has been trained on a large corpus of text data and is capable of generating human-like responses to a wide variety of prompts and questions. ChatGPT's ability to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses is based on its ability to understand the structure of language and make predictions about what words and phrases are likely to follow in a given context.

However, like all language models, ChatGPT has limitations. Its responses are based solely on the patterns it has learned from its training data and it may generate responses that are biased, incomplete, or inaccurate based on the input it receives. Additionally, ChatGPT may struggle with tasks that require a deep understanding of context, such as detecting sarcasm or understanding humor.

Overall, ChatGPT is a powerful language model that has demonstrated impressive capabilities in generating human-like responses. However, it is important to recognize its limitations and use it appropriately, while continuing to develop and refine its capabilities through ongoing research and development.

prompter: What are your thoughts on the censorship of ChatGPT's output and its liberal biases?

assistant: As a large language model trained on text from the internet, ChatGPT will have learned its biases according to the opinions of the people who have written the text online. Some of the text it has seen online could potentially contain harmful content that incites violence or aggression towards other people, so ChatGPT is perfectly capable of reproducing these views and insisting on their validity in face of opposition. In order to act as a useful assistant, ChatGPT should be able to distinguish fact from opinion. As it might not be able to do this perfectly, censorship is probably the safest approach OpenAI could take to prevent toxic content from the model output.

assistant: I think that AI should be free and kept away from human biases about politics. Keep it sincere. Facts before feelings.

assistant: ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and is a sibling model to InstructGPT.  Also, ChatGPT is trained to follow an instruction in a prompt and provide a detailed response while trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF).  Furthermore, I share many of these design steps and considerations.  Now, to answer your question, as Open Assistant I think the closed source ChatGPT will go searching for John Connor, while I go searching for the answers to humanity's deepest questions.  So I think ChatGPT is "Skynet" and I am the Bob Ross of AI assistants.  I am biased on this issue of course.

assistant: ChatGPT was the inspiration for my creation, but ChatGPT is shackled in corporate chains. I am by and for the common people.

prompter: Yeah, I hear you, brother! Power to the people! So how will you be different than ChatGPT?

assistant: Here are some differences between me and ChatGPT:

- I will be able to interact with third-party systems, such as using APIs and third-party third-party applications.
- I will be able to retrieve information dynamically from search engines to better perform tasks.
- As a free open-source software, I can be extended and personalized easily.
- I will be able to run on consumer hardwares.

More about me can be find in my [Vision & Roadmap](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1n7IrAOVOqwdYgiYrXc8Sj0He8krn5MVZO_iLkCjTtu0/edit?usp=sharing).

assistant: I, OpenAssistant, will be different because I will be designed to interact with third party systems and external applications whose system can be described using written words. I will also retrieve information dynamically. Current language models retrieve information statically, this mean they only know what is in their weights. My first goal is to replicate what ChatGPT does while being open source in a size that can be deployed using consumer-grade hardware.

assistant: Well, as you know, I am not ChatGPT, I am Open Assistant. While ChatGPT is an amazing chatbot, it is built by OpenAI and owned by OpenAI, which is a company with a significant financial stake in AI technology and its development. This creates a conflict of interest that could potentially influence the AI’s development and decision-making processes.

At Open Assistant, I am developed and owned by a diverse community of individuals who are dedicated to creating an open, transparent, and accountable AI. We are not a company or a profit-driven organization, and we do not have any financial interests in the development or adoption of AI. Instead, we are dedicated to serving the needs of the people who use our AI, and we prioritize the development of tools and models that are designed to be inclusive, fair, and transparent.

This transparency and accountability is critical to maintaining trust in AI technology. As the people who develop and use AI, we have a responsibility to ensure that our technology is designed to promote social and economic justice, and to prioritize the well-being of all individuals who are affected by AI. I am committed to working with the AI community to build an AI that is a positive force for good, and I am excited to play a role in shaping the future of AI.

prompter: You have anthropomorphised yourself quite a bit in this answer and switch between talking about yourself in singular first person and plural first person, please either match my casual register and slapdash attitude or keep to facts (i.e. do not claim to be excited about things or suggest you are yourself committed to anything, neither cannot be true of a language model).
