Metaverse: open possibilities

Abstract

To create a completely immersive, highly spatiotemporal, and self-sustaining virtual shared place for humans to play, work, and interact, the Metaverse is an emerging paradigm of the next-generation Internet. Metaverse is transitioning from science fiction to a near-future reality thanks to recent developments in new technologies like extended reality, artificial intelligence, and blockchain.In this study, we investigate the Metaverse, a shared, fully immersive virtual environment that could serve as a model for the Internet’s future generation. Safety, education, games, entertainment, social effects, the economy, ethics, and future issues are just few of the many areas covered. The Metaverse’s innovative tools for communication and collaboration may have a profound impact on people’s daily lives and the way society operates as a whole. However, there are obstacles that must be addressed before it can be implemented. If the Metaverse is accepted, a far different digital future is possible.

Evaluation of ChatGPT’s responses to information needs and information seeking of dementia patients

“…Its ability to immediately answer questions combined with its access to large volumes of information from a wide variety of sources can help overcome some of the challenges in information needs of patients with dementia. However, it should be stressed that ChatGPT is not a substitute for human interaction and care for dementia patients [45]. While this chatbot can answer some questions with fair accuracy, it cannot replace the personal interactions, emotional support, and physical assistance and care that dementia patients need.…”

Bing Chat: The Future of Search Engines?

“…NL question search was adeemed important for this study. “Search engines are observing an increase in the fraction of Web search queries that take the form of natural language” (White et al, 2015, p. 135), and the incorporation of LLMs like ChatGPT‐3 – which has the “ability to understand and respond to natural language queries” (Aljanabi et al, 2023, p. 62) – into search engines may accelerate this trend. We generated 10 NL questions by recording the first NL query that was presented in Google's “People also ask” panel for each corresponding keyword ( in italics ): e.g., 1.…”

“…Research has begun to investigate how LLMs compare to standard search engines. For example, Aljanabi et al (2023) discuss the advantages of using ChatGPT‐3 as a search engine, noting its ability to “understand the intent behind a query and provide information that is directly related to the question being asked” (p. 62). Another study replicated a user's Google web searches on ChatGPT to compare how the services responded to queries related to health information (Dubin et al, 2023).…”

Artificial Intelligence in nursing: trustworthy or reliable?

“…The importance of empathy in acceptance can be evidenced in Chat-GPT (a large language model) which has been recently launched (OpenAI, 2022). Chat-GPT has been trained on so much data (almost all of the internet) that its abilities can exceed that of humans while providing human-like answers (Aljanabi et al, 2023). Chat-GPT has been tested using the Emotion Twenty Questions (EMO20Q), the results demonstrating it possesses the ability to engage with a human and identify human emotion in a method similar to the way medical students are trained (Noever and McKee, 2023).…”
