"Unprecedented" still feels like an under-statement to describe the "astronomical" growth of the user-base of ChatGPT, which attracted over 1 million users in less than a week and 100 million users in less than two months. There are claims that the only other application that enjoy the same "vertical" adoption is Pokémon GO.
For AI researchers, in particular language researchers, this is so disruptive that research methodologies (if not research directions) must be re-defined and re-designed. It sets new benchmarks or at least demands for comparisons/integrations across almost all language-based tasks. Technical language processing (TLP) is not spared.
We have more questions than answers. Let's take this opportunity to start a "chat" about ChatGPT and LLMs, with a focus on information extraction and knowledge graph construction from maintenance work orders.
