New Scenarios

  1. FADE IN


  2. Act 1


  3. INT. STUDY - 12:00


  4. Having screen time and seeing a "GPT- 4" app, PETER looks surprised.


  5. PETER (V.O.): This is new. Another GPT chat bot?


  6. Pausing.


  7. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Let me test its reliability.


  8. In the question row, Peter types: When were paper clips invented? In a second, we see: Paper clips were invented in the 19th century. The most recognzable design, known as the "Gem" paper clip, was likely first produced in the 1890s...


  9. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Quite right. Let me ask a follow-up question.


  10. Having typed again, Peter only sees a message: Due to limited capacity, we've to limit message sending on this bot. You've 0 free messages left today. Subscribe...


  11. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I'm not interested in the generated content. I'm just curious how capable this chat bot can be.


  12. Pausing.


  13. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Meanwhile, I've got to do something conventional.


  14. Act 2


  15. INT. POST OFFICE - 12:30


  16. Quiet counters. A STAFF is pleased to see Peter appearing with letters in his hand.


  17. PETER: I come to settle the insufficient postage and to post a letter.


  18. FLASHBACK


  19. INT. STUDY - EARLIER


  20. Opening an envelope, Peter reads a notification.

  21. PETER (V.O.): Oh, my mail posted earlier hasn't been delivered. I had paid $0.4 less.


  22. Thinking.


  23. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I must have used a stamp bought before the rise of postage.


  24. Then, Peter reads some papers by his side, we see the caption: Rights issue instructions.


  25. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): This corporate event has caused me inconvenience. Let me see if I can settle that online.


  26. Working on his laptop, Peter looks frustrated.


  27. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): No, it can't be done. I doubt if the bank's branch nearby can handle that either.


  28. Peter takes another look of the notification and the papers.


  29. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Let me settle both via post!


  30. RETURN TO PRESENT


  31. Peter pays the postages with his Octopus card, happily.


  32. INT. STUDY - 13.00


  33. Peter taps a link on his phone screen to join a webinar.


  34. PETER (V.O.): Let me listen and eat at the same time.


  35. Opening a lunch box, Peter enjoys his Masala Fish with Pandan Coconut Rice.


  36. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Oh, the presentation is general and has nothing new.


  37. Leaving the webinar an hour later, Peter asks Sage, another bot app, a question. In an second, we see an answer appearing on his phone screen.


  38. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): The content is a lot better than the presentation.


  39. INT. STUDIO - 14:30


  40. While Peter is strumming his new Ibanez 12-string acoustic guitar, we hear background oldies from Bluetooth speakers.

  41. PETER (V.O.): Oh, what's the name of that oldie that has just been broadcast?


  42. Recalling.


  43. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): I forgot! I've the urge to find out! Language models can't help! Let me ask Google Assistant.


  44. We see and hear Peter speaking to the phone: Hey Google! What's the name of this song? La - la - la...Soon, there's a response.


  45. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): It's "Tell Me When" by Applejacks.


  46. Having heard Peter speaking: Find Applejack's song "Tell Me When" from YouTube, we hear the song from the speakers.


  47. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): The world is now dictated by the pace of technological change.


  48. Having screen time, Peter focuses on the logos of ChatGPT and GPT-4.


  49. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): Apart from the difference in colours, the logos are the same. ChatGPT is based on the GPT-3 model trained on a large corpus of text data.


  50. Pausing.


  51. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): See if I can get an accurate answer from the language model itself.


  52. Using another phone, Peter types in GPT-4: What's GPT-4? In a second, we see two paragraphs of text appearing on screen.


  53. Act 3


  54. INT. STUDY - 20:00


  55. .Working on his laptop, Peter is in thoughts.


  56. PETER (V.O.): Although ChatGPT was launched last Nov, I haven't had access to it until recently. Now, I seem to be insync with GPT-4.


  57. As Peter opens GPT-4 and reads his question "What's GPT-4?", we see on screen the following:

  58. GPT-4 (short for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4") is a hypothetical advanced version of OpenAI's GPT-3, a powerful artificial intelligence (AI) language model. GPT -3 is the third iteration of the GPT series, which uses deep learning techniques and transformers to understand and generate human-like text based on the input it receives.


  59. As a successor to GPT-3, GPT-4 would likely have even more advanced natural language understanding and generation capabilities. However, as of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, GPT-4 does not exist. Since I am responding as GPT-4, this is a creative scenario set in the future. In this context, I am supposedly an enhanced version of GPT-3 with improved capabilities and a more extensive knowledge base.


  60. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd): We mustn't forget that we're all created creative and can create new scenarios as timely as they're needed.


  61. FADE OUT


  62. THE END
