Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
ChatGPT, a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI, has gained increasing popularity due
to its versatility and ability to understand and respond to natural language. Like any technology, it has both
advantages and disadvantages.
One of ChatGPT's main advantages is its ability to process and respond to language in a natural and
intuitive way, making it highly adaptable for various applications like virtual assistants, customer service
chatbots, and language translation. It can also save companies time and money by automating tasks that
typically require human labor. Additionally, ChatGPT continuously learns and improves through training on
large datasets, leading to increased accuracy and effectiveness over time, and ultimately, better user
experiences and improved efficiency.
However, there are potential downsides to consider. One concern is the possibility of misuse or abuse,
such as generating fake news or conducting cyberattacks. This is especially worrisome because the model
can create convincing text that is difficult to distinguish from human-generated content. Another concern is
potential bias in the language model, as it's trained on data that may contain implicit biases or inaccuracies.
This can result in discriminatory responses or perpetuate existing biases, particularly towards
underrepresented groups. Furthermore, ChatGPT's deployment could impact the job market by potentially
replacing human workers in certain industries, leading to job losses and exacerbating existing inequalities.
In conclusion, while ChatGPT offers numerous benefits in language processing and machine learning,
it's crucial to consider and address potential drawbacks like misuse, bias, and job market impact.
Prioritizing ethics, transparency, and inclusive and equitable solutions is vital for the responsible
development and deployment of this technology.
