Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has always been a supporter of new technologies, including creating a large blockchain network like Ethereum. Not only that, Buterin is not shy about praising his own company alongside other firms innovating in the tech sector.
In parallel, the founder of Ethereum shared information about OpenAI's GPT-4, stating that it has successfully passed the Turing Test. The Turing Test is a criterion for AI systems, determining how well a model can exhibit human-like conversation.
Referring to the latest preprint research from the University of California, San Diego, Buterin wrote that finally, a generative model has passed the Turing Test. Additionally, the Ethereum founder praised OpenAI's GPT-4, saying: "This is incredible, this system can fool more than half of the people. This technology talks like humans and can fool everyone."
Research on GPT-4 at the University of California
A recent study published by the University of California, San Diego, revealed that in a Turing test, people could not distinguish between GPT-4 and humans. The study involved 500 human test subjects participating in a blind test where they interacted with both human and AI models. The aim was to determine whether the subjects could accurately identify which interactions involved humans and which involved the AI model.
According to the research findings, in 56% of cases, people mistakenly identified GPT-4 as human. This shows that in most cases, the AI model successfully convinced people that it was one of them. This highlights the gradual progress of AI technology in mimicking human intelligence.
Growing Interest and Investment in Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is gaining interest as people see its potential for the future. This has led many major tech companies like Google and Microsoft, as well as individuals like Elon Musk, to get involved in AI.
Vitalik Buterin, known for founding Ethereum, recently praised OpenAI's GPT-4 chatbot. He may be considering working with OpenAI or starting his own AI projects, but nothing official has been announced yet.
Currently, various companies are exploring AI opportunities and developing their own chatbot models. For example, Elon Musk introduced AI chatbot Grok to compete with OpenAI's ChatGPT.
