The following questions relate to advances and developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
tr001 ( level of awareness regarding recent developments in artificial intelligence)
How would you describe your level of awareness regarding recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), such as large language models, generative AI, and machine learning?
1 Very limited awareness - I rarely come across or seek out information on AI developments
2 Basic awareness - I occasionally read or hear about major breakthroughs in AI
3 Moderate awareness - I regularly follow updates on AI developments and have a general understanding of key topics
4 High awareness - I actively seek out information and understand the implications of recent AI developments
5 Expert level - I have a deep understanding of many recent AI developments, possibly due to professional involvement or extensive study in an AI field

Please read the following excerpt about an AI development in the field of linguistics:
GPT-3 (Generative Pretrained Transformer 3), GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 are state-of-the-art language processing AI models developed by OpenAI. They are capable of generating human-like text and have a wide range of applications, including language translation, language modelling, and generating text for applications such as chatbots.
GPT-3.5 gives a user the ability to give a trained AI a wide range of worded prompts. These can be questions, requests for a piece of writing on a topic of your choosing or a huge number of other worded requests.
GPT3.5 is a language-processing AI model. This simply means it is a program able to understand human language as it is spoken and written, allowing it to understand the worded information it is fed, and what to spit back out. ChatGPT has a very wide range of abilities, everything from writing poems about sentient farts and cliché rom-coms in alternate universes, through to explaining quantum mechanics in simple terms or writing full-length research papers and articles.

Please read the following excerpt about an AI development in the field of medicine:
A research team has developed a computer algorithm that can analyze digital images of a woman's cervix and accurately identify precancerous changes that require medical attention. This artificial intelligence (AI) approach, called automated visual evaluation, has the potential to revolutionize cervical cancer screening, particularly in low-resource settings.

Please read the following excerpt about an AI development in the field of dating and relationships:
Now, some are finding love with an artificial intelligence. The online forum Reddit is filled with people confessing their love for AI chatbots, such as Replika. But is it real love? To understand whether this "digital love" is the same or similar to the love we experience with other humans is tough. Because it's hard enough to understand what "normal" love is. Chatbots might mimic the attachment phase of human relationship. They act as stable, predictable partners. You can up-vote or down-vote their reactions, tailoring your AI love to your needs. Stability is important in human relationships. Research has shown that having long-term partners reduces stress in our brains. In the long run, however, digital relationships may cause problems for people if we hang on to the idea that dating a chatbot is a real relationship.
