"If you’re one of the 1.2 million Australians with communication disability or
among the 44% of Australian adults with low literacy, you may soon find
helpful, automated communication assistance online.
The chat bot ChatGPT – based on GTP3, a large language model – is a disruptive
technology designed to “provide human-like responses” to user input. It is a
form of artificial intelligence (AI), boosted by machine learning, is used by
more than one million people and is impressing educators.
It responds to the user’s questions and commands, and can draw upon its
billions of words to process and generate text, appearing informative and
knowledgeable.
Described somewhat poetically as producing “fluent bullshit”, its unchecked
outputs may be plausible enough to score a pass mark on assignments and tests,
while bypassing plagiarism detection software.
If it becomes accessible for everyone, AI of this type could do more than
disrupt exams. It could help people with communication disability and others
who struggle with text, and could also significantly enhance rate of
communication. People using speech generating devices are often limited to
laboriously entering a mere 10 words per minute with word prediction only
increasing that to 12-18 words per minute."
