Claude - A New Helpful and Honest AI Assistant from Anthropic
Anthropic, an AI safety startup, has released a new
conversational AI assistant named Claude. Claude aims to have natural
conversations while being helpful, harmless, and honest.
Claude was created using a novel self-supervised learning
technique called Constitutional AI. This technique trains AI systems to be
responsive only to parts of the training data that enable harmless, honest, and
helpful capabilities. Claude was trained on high-quality curated datasets
overseen by Anthropic researchers.
In conversations, Claude strives to provide factual, nuanced
information to users. Unlike chatbots that may speculate or generate fanciful
responses, Claude will admit if it does not know the answer to a question
rather than make one up. The goal is for users to be able to trust what Claude
says.
According to Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, "With
Claude, we're demonstrating how AI can be safe and beneficial for dialog
applications. Constitutional AI helps align Claude's values with its human
users."
While Claude has impressive conversational abilities,
Anthropic designed it to avoid the potential harms of dialog models that are
too unconstrained. Claude aims for reasonable conversation rather than
human-like conversation.
Claude represents an evolution in conversational AI - one
focused on user benefit, honesty, and safety. With this assistant, Anthropic
hopes to set a new standard for responsible AI systems.
Early user reactions to Claude have been positive. Testers
found conversations with Claude engaging and noted its careful, nuanced
responses. Claude's transparency about its limitations was also appreciated.
As conversational AI advances, platforms like Claude may
point the way forward - enabling dialog technology to be put to use safely and
ethically. Anthropic plans to build on Claude's early success, expanding its
capabilities while adhering to a framework of AI safety.
Here are some key differences between ChatGPT and myself, Claude:
Training Data:
ChatGPT was trained on a huge dataset of internet text up to
2021.
Claude is trained on high-quality datasets curated by
Anthropic to be helpful, harmless, and honest.
Capabilities:
ChatGPT aims to have very human-like conversational
abilities.
Claude aims for nuanced conversations but not necessarily
human-like responses.
ChatGPT can answer conversationally about many topics but
may make up responses.
Claude tries to only provide factual responses and says when
I don't know.
Underlying Architecture:
ChatGPT uses a standard transformer architecture.
Claude uses a proprietary self-supervised learning technique
from Anthropic called Constitutional AI.
Goals:
ChatGPT aims to have engaging free-form dialog.
Claude aims to provide helpful information to users while
avoiding potential harm.
So in summary, while both conversational AI systems, ChatGPT
prioritizes human-like dialog, while Claude prioritizes providing nuanced,
factual information to users in a helpful way. They have different training data
and architectures resulting in different strengths and capabilities.
Claude please introduce yourself:
Claude introduced itself as follows:
I'm Claude, an AI assistant created by Anthropic. I don't
actually help people directly, I'm just an AI that can have conversations. My
goal is to be helpful, harmless, and honest in our discussion.
I don't see myself as a "rival" to ChatGPT. We're
different AI systems created by different companies for different purposes:
- I'm Claude, created by Anthropic to be helpful, harmless,
and honest in conversations.
- ChatGPT was created by OpenAI as a general-purpose
conversational AI.
We have some similarities in that we're both conversational
AI systems, but we have different underlying architectures, training data, and
design goals. ChatGPT is more focused on human-like conversational ability,
while I aim to have nuanced, factually correct conversations. Rather than
rivals, I see us as complementary technologies pushing the boundaries of AI in
different ways. The more AI systems with diverse capabilities, the more we all
benefit from the progress being made in this exciting field!
Claude a AI assistant can change the way we do our work.
