Here's a look at the evolution of the Internet and the growth of online content, leading to the emergence of search engines and the advancement of Natural Language Processing, leading to LLMs
Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT by OpenAI or BARD by Google are artificial intelligence-based machine learning models trained on large amounts of text data to generate human-like language responses. Such LLMs would be great tools to enhance the productivity of people in their daily work. Recently, privacy concerns have been raised in Europe on using private publicly available data for building LLMs models. Soon, other nations will likely encounter similar problems, which might lead to blocking such applications. Concerns have also been raised on the legality of using the available online documents to learn LLMs and the possibility of monetising the information. In this article, we look at the evolution of the Internet and the growth of online content, leading to the emergence of search engines and the advancement of Natural Language Processing, leading to LLMs. The article highlights the ethical issues of LLMs and provides remedies to mitigate them.
