OpenAI will be a winner, but not the only one. A concept you'll be hearing a lot more about is Retrieval Augmentation – in terms of improving models. Again we cover that in the conversation. So dive in! In the meantime I will leave you with a story from deepset about a gentleman in his 80s that runs a legal publishing firm in Germany. He called deepset just before Christmas last year to insist on a meeting before the end of the year to discuss ChatGPT's potential implications on his business, and how he could do something similar but without giving his own information away. ChatGPT only launched on November 30th 2022. That's the scale of the challenge, and the opportunity. This RedMonk Conversation was originally published in video form on April 26, 2023.
