Chat with Chatbot
Generative AI systems have completely changed/what we think computers can do. Yumi interviews Chatbot,/an AI system,/to find out/what it’s all about.

What is a generative AI system?

Yumi :: 　Hi there! I’m Yumi,/a first-year high school student,/and I’m curious to know more about you. Since this is my first experience/chatting with you,/let me start with some basic questions:/What is a generative AI system? How does it work?
Chatbot (=Chat) :: 　Hi, Yumi! I’m happy to chat with you. I’m an AI program/designed to engage in conversation. I’ve received training/on a vast amount of text/from books, articles, websites, and more. This helps me understand/patterns of expression, grammar, and nuances,/enabling me to generate responses. Think of me as a friendly assistant/who can provide information/and have fun chats.
Yumi :: 　Can you talk in different languages?
Chat :: 　Absolutely! While I’m mainly focused on English,/I can also handle other languages. Here’s a list of languages/I can handle:/English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, and more.
Yumi :: 　Are you good at all those languages?
Chat :: 　Well,/not quite. I can assist you in these languages,/but I might not catch all the idioms or nuances. But don’t worry. I’ll do my best to help you out!
Yumi :: 　I’ve heard/that generative AI systems/have brought about big changes in the world,/especially in services. Can you talk about that?
Chat :: 　Absolutely! I can offer translation services/to help you communicate across languages and cultures. I can also help writers/by generating ideas for stories and poems.
Yumi :: 　Wow! You are so talented. Are there any other areas/where you can help?
Chat :: 　Sure,/I can help companies with customer support/by answering questions and solving problems. And in education,/I can support students in many ways.
Yumi :: 　Nice! What about helping me with my English?
Chat :: 　I can help you in various ways,/such as finding grammatical mistakes in your reports/or offering suggestions to improve your essays. However,/you should not rely on me/to do all the work for you. It’s best for you/to learn and grow on your own. My purpose is to support your studies,/not to replace your efforts.
Yumi :: 　I understand. You’re like a great partner/for students looking to improve their English. I’ll count on you.
Yumi :: 　You know a lot about many different things,/don’t you? I hope this isn’t rude,/but I have to ask:/Do you always provide accurate information?
Chat :: 　I do my best,/but I’m not perfect. My knowledge comes from extensive training,/and I generate responses/based on what I’ve learned. But I sometimes make errors. So it’s always a good idea/to double-check information.
Yumi :: 　Got it. I’ll be careful. People worry about biases in your responses/due to learning from the internet. Is that a real concern?
Chat :: 　Unfortunately,/yes. But trust me,/people are working hard/to reduce AI systems’ biases/and improve their performance.
Yumi :: 　That’s good to know. What about security issues? I believe measures are taken/to protect privacy and data security. I’m just wondering/if we are truly safe.
Chat :: 　To be honest,/your concern makes sense. It’s always best/not to share your personal information with AI systems/just to play it safe.
Yumi :: 　I heard people talking about/something called “AGI.” I’d love to learn more about it.
Chat :: 　Sure! AGI stands for Artificial General Intelligence. It’s all about creating AI systems/that can do a lot of things,/just like humans. They’re called “general”/because they can learn and understand/in many different areas,/not just one.
Yumi :: 　Oh,/I see! Can we create AGI soon?
Chat :: 　Developing AGI is still very difficult. Some people think/we might achieve it in a few decades,/while others are not certain/if it’s possible.
Yumi :: 　By the way,/aren’t you like AGI in some ways?
Chat :: 　I can’t think like humans. AGI would be far smarter/and have a greater impact on society.
Yumi :: 　I see. It’s a bit scary/to think that AI might get smarter than us. Are there any dangers with AGI?
Chat :: 　Yes,/if humans lose control of AGI,/it may cause problems. That’s why ethical development is crucial/for the future. It all depends on decisions/on the part of humans.
Yumi :: 　I agree. Well,/thank you for answering my questions/and sharing your insights! It was fun/chatting with you.
Chat :: 　I had a great time too. If you have more questions,/feel free to reach out. I’m always here for you.
