OpenAI has unveiled CriticGPT, a new AI model based on GPT-4, designed to identify and critique errors in code generated by ChatGPT. This innovative tool enhances code review accuracy by 60%, surpassing human reviewers in pinpointing bugs, though it faces challenges with more complex tasks.
Objective and Training
The primary goal of CriticGPT is to assist human trainers in identifying mistakes in ChatGPT’s code output during the reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) process. By aiding AI trainers in evaluating outputs from advanced AI systems, CriticGPT aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of code generated by ChatGPT. The training process involved human trainers manually inserting errors into ChatGPT-generated code and providing feedback on these mistakes, enabling CriticGPT to learn to identify and critique errors more accurately.
Performance and Techniques
CriticGPT has demonstrated its superiority over traditional AI code reviewers by outperforming human reviewers in 63% of cases when identifying naturally occurring bugs in ChatGPT-generated code. Teams utilizing CriticGPT produced more comprehensive critiques and identified fewer false positives compared to those working alone, resulting in a 60% improvement in code review outcomes. CriticGPT employs a technique called “Force Sampling Beam Search,” which allows users to customize the sensitivity of error detection.
Limitations and Future Prospects
While CriticGPT excels at identifying simple bugs, it struggles with longer, more complex coding tasks, partly due to its training on relatively short ChatGPT responses. Despite this limitation, CriticGPT aids human trainers in writing more comprehensive critiques than they would alone. The combination of human reviewers using CriticGPT outperforms unassisted human trainers by 60% when assessing ChatGPT’s code output.
However, the AI model is still developing its efficiency. It may struggle with longer, more complex tasks and cannot always identify the source of errors that span multiple code strings. OpenAI is currently integrating CriticGPT-like models into the RLHF labeling pipeline to further improve the accuracy of ChatGPT’s outputs. This integration will assist human trainers in evaluating outputs from advanced AI systems like ChatGPT, thereby enhancing their accuracy and reliability.
