Human overseers rate results to steer GPT in the right direction, and GPT-4 has more of this feedback.

That yielded an explosion of interest, experimentation and worry about the downsides of the technology.

It can do everything from generating programming code and answering exam questions to writing poetry and supplying basic facts.

It’s remarkable if not always reliable.

ChatGPT is free, but it can falter when demand is high.

Developers can sign up on awaiting list to get their own access to GPT-4.

GPT-4 advancements

“In a casual conversation, the distinction between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 can be subtle.

The difference comes out when the complexity of the task reaches a sufficient threshold,” OpenAI said.

“GPT-4 is more reliable, creative and able to handle much more nuanced instructions than GPT-3.5.”

Another major advance in GPT-4 is the ability to accept input data that includes text and photos.

GPT-4 also adds new “steerability” options.

Fundamentally, though, LLMAIs don’t really know anything.

They’re just able to string words together in statistically very refined ways.

OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman acknowledges problems, but he’s pleased overall with the progress shown with GPT-4.

“It is more creative than previous models, it hallucinates significantly less, and it is less biased.

It can pass a bar exam and score a 5 on several AP exams,“Altman tweetedTuesday.

One worry about AI is that students will use it to cheat, for example when answering essay questions.

Plagiarism detection companies are adapting to AI by training their own detection models.

On Tuesday, Microsoft said it’susing GPT-4 for the Bingwork.

That phrasing mirrors Microsoft’s “co-pilot” positioning of AI technology.

Azure now can use Nvidia’s new H100 processors, which include specific circuitry to accelerate AI transformer calculations.

The company, which counts Google as an investor, opened awaiting list for Claude.

It’s one of a growing crowd.

Chinese search and tech giantBaidu is working on a chatbot called Ernie Bot.

Even Snapchat is getting in on the game with aGPT-based chatbot called My AI.

Expect more refinements in the future.

“We hope you enjoy it and we really appreciate feedback on its shortcomings.”
