OpenAI has updated one of its sensation chatbots: the ChatGPT.
OpenAI released GPT-4o for ChatGPT on Monday, a new chatbot version that can discuss topics with users in a very humanlike tone. The new version of the chatbot will also have vision capabilities.
What quickly followed the futuristic reveal was a string of jokes on the parallel experience to the movie “Her,” with some even commenting on the new voice of the chatbot as “cringe.”
A big step in future development of AI-powered virtual assistants, which the companies have been racing to develop, indeed.
Since its launch in 2022, hundreds of millions of people have played around with the tool, which is already altering the appearance and feel of the internet to its users.
Users have flocked to ChatGPT to improve their personal lives and increase productivity. Workers have coded programs, composed real estate descriptions, and constructed lesson plans—all with the help of the AI chat tool. Others have made a career for themselves by teaching how to best use ChatGPT.
The plug-ins are available to dozens of associates of the company’s ChatGPT Plus subscription. An Expedia one will help you book a trip, and an OpenTable sample will get you a dinner reservation. Last month, OpenAI elucidated Code Interpreter, a version of ChatGPT that can code and analyze data.
Though the personal tone of conversations with an AI bot like ChatGPT can evoke the experience of chatting with another human being, the technology, which runs on “large language model tools,” doesn’t talk with any sentience and doesn’t “think” the way people do.
That means that even though ChatGPT can explain quantum physics or pen a poem on demand is not precisely on the verge of an AI takeover, according to experts.
“As it’s said, an infinite number of monkeys will eventually give you Shakespeare,” said Matthew Sag, a law professor at Emory University who studies copyright implications for training and using large language models like ChatGPT.
“There’s a large number of monkeys here, giving you impressive things — but there is intrinsically a difference between the way that humans produce language and the way that large language models do it,” he said.
Chatbots such as ChatGPT are armed with a vast amount of data and computational techniques, such that through zillions of predictions and computations, it can use the same to string words into meaning. They exploit not straightforwardly vast amounts of vocabulary and information but, more significantly, the nuances of the understanding of the words in their context, making it possible to mimic speech patterns while sending encyclopedic knowledge.
Whatever the motive, other tech companies are developing their own extensive language model tools, including programs that take in human prompts and devise sophisticated responses.
OpenAI’s chatbot, impressive as it is, has been accused of spreading disinformation, stealing people’s private data on the grounds of needing this data for training, and even motivating cheating and plagiarism for students on their assignments.
Some recent efforts to apply chatbots to real-world services have been troubling. Last year, the mental health company Koko faced criticism after its founder said the company had used GPT-3 to run an experiment giving human-written feedback to users.
Koko cofounder Rob Morris hastened to clarify on Twitter that users weren’t speaking directly to a chatbot, but that AI was used to “help craft” responses.
