How do Arria’s NLG technologies differ from Large Language Model (LLM) technologies like ChatGPT, we asked ChatGPT itself to provide an answer. This was the answer ChatGPT provided:
“Large Language Models Aren’t Ideal for High-Accuracy Data-to-Text Tasks.
LLMs like GPT-4 are powerful for conversational and creative text generation but are inherently probabilistic, meaning they predict the most likely sequence of words based on training data. This makes them:
• Prone to hallucinations (generating plausible-sounding but incorrect information). • Challenged in tasks where factual accuracy is non-negotiable. • Less suitable for structured, rule-based reporting, where exactness is paramount. • Example: For a task like "Revenue in Q3 was $2.5M, up 10% from Q2," LLMs might: misinterpret data, or generate inconsistent language.
NLG systems, however, would generate the statement directly from the data, ensuring accuracy. NLG remains critical and stands alone in domains where:
• Accuracy is Mandatory: Industries like finance, healthcare, and compliance demand flawless text that reflects the underlying data. • Data is Structured: NLG thrives when working with databases, tables, or analytics dashboards. • Scale is Important: NLG can generate thousands of personalized reports or summaries at scale, which manual or probabilistic systems cannot achieve efficiently.
Conclusion: NLG’s strength lies in its 100% accuracy in translating structured data into natural language, making it indispensable for data-driven reporting and content generation.
While other technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Machine Learning (ML), and Large Language Models (LLMs) complement NLG in broader automation frameworks, none can replicate its precision or reliability for data-to-text tasks. This ensures NLG remains a critical standalone technology in Intelligent Process Automation.”
In Summary
The above description of the difference between ChatGPT and Arria NLG, written by ChatGPT, could not have been written better if we had written it ourselves. The value of ChatGPT, despite its limitations, has pointed the market directly at the value of Arria NLG for data-driven enterprise reporting — where 100% accuracy, 100% of the time, together with trust and control are mandated.
