Stormy clouds ahead?
Microsoft is bringing ChatGPT, with all its promises and shortcomings, to world-plus-dog as a cloud service in Azure.
Redmond this week was «thrilled to announce» ChatGPT will be selectively available as a preview within the Azure OpenAI Service. That service is largely aimed at corporations that want to put large-language models to work in their applications and workflows, such as using Dall-E2 for generating images, GPT-3.5 for text, and Codex for something that resembles code.
By making ChatGPT available from Azure, organizations participating in the program can now tap into the software, embed it in their apps and pipelines, and generate walls of text for whatever purpose they can successfully justify as well as have the chatty, imaginative bot interact with users.
«Developers can integrate custom AI-powered experiences directly into their own applications, including enhancing existing bots to handle unexpected questions, recapping call center conversations to enable faster customer support resolutions, creating new ad copy with personalized offers, automating claims processing, and more,» Eric Boyd, corporate vice president for Microsoft’s AI Platform, gushed.
«Cognitive services can be combined with Azure OpenAI to create compelling use cases for enterprises.»
Then again, he would say that wouldn’t he.
