On January 27th, Teleios held an event at Microsoft Trinidad offices on Mucurapo Road to explore the use of cutting-edge technologies such as PowerApps, OpenAI’s ChatGPT and OpenAI. The event was attended by 60 people in person and online. The aim of the event was to share ideas and collaborate on solutions that leverage these technologies.
The key takeaway from the event was the introduction of OpenAI’s ChatGPT as a “What-If engine” by Irwin Williams. He discussed how ChatGPT can be used to simulate different scenarios and make predictions based on the input provided. It was emphasized that to get the best results from ChatGPT, users should start conversations with clear and specific questions and provide enough context for the model to generate accurate and relevant responses. The model can respond to a wide range of topics, including general knowledge, technical information and creative writing.
However, the attendees were also warned about the limitations of ChatGPT. It was noted that the model is based on patterns from the internet, which could result in inappropriate or offensive responses if it has been trained on biased data. Therefore, it is important to monitor and evaluate the model before using it in critical applications. Additionally, while ChatGPT can generate human-like responses, it is still limited in its understanding and reasoning ability, and may not always provide accurate answers. It was recommended that tools like ChatGPT be used in combination with other tools, such as fact-checking or domain-specific knowledge, to verify its responses and improve their accuracy.
The event was a success, with productive discussions and feedback from the attendees. The next steps for the organizers are to continue delivering high-quality content and make the event at least a quarterly occurrence.
Overall, the AI Building event was a great opportunity for attendees to learn about and explore the potential of PowerApps, OpenAI, and ChatGPT. The insights and discussions from the event will no doubt inspire future innovation in these technologies.
