AI Chatbots Unleashed: ChatGPT's Rise, Rivalries, and the Race for AI Supremacy
In today's news roundup, we will discuss the following key events:
- {'summarized_text': 'ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is a natural language AI chatbot based on the GPT-3.5 Large Language Model (LLM). Unlike simple voice assistants, LLMs are trained on vast amounts of internet data, allowing them to generate new responses rather than just providing canned answers. ChatGPT is fine-tuned using supervised learning and Reinforcement Learning From Human Feedback (RLHF), which OpenAI claims sets it apart from other chatbots.\n\nTo use ChatGPT, users must register for a free account at chat.openai.com. The chatbot is simple to use, with users typing in text and receiving information in return. ChatGPT understands the context of previous questions, allowing users to refine their inquiries without starting over. Users can also provide more specific instructions, such as asking for a certain number of paragraphs or a Wikipedia-style page.\n\nWhile ChatGPT can provide accurate details, there is potential for it to fill in gaps with incorrect data. OpenAI acknowledges these instances are rare but refers to them as AI "hallucinations." ChatGPT, using GPT-3.5 LLM, has limited knowledge of world events after 2021. It only works with text and offers a free basic version. OpenAI spends around $3 million per month to run ChatGPT, with costs possibly higher. A premium version, ChatGPT Plus, costs $20/month and offers additional benefits. Users need to experiment with prompts to get desired results. OpenAI has safeguards against harmful content. The announcement of ChatGPT plugins generated excitement in the developer community, allowing developers to build plugins for ChatGPT to access the internet and APIs of specific applications. Examples of early applications include Expedia, Instacart, Slack, and OpenTable. However, ChatGPT has limitations and is not free of problems. Concerns have arisen over the potential impact of human-like generative AI like ChatGPT on the future of the internet, with thousands signing a petition to slow its development. Privacy concerns led to its ban in Italy, and there are worries about job losses, with Goldman Sachs estimating 300 million jobs worldwide could be affected. Controversies have also emerged from using ChatGPT to handle tasks that should be done by humans, such as Vanderbilt University\'s Peabody School generating an email about a mass shooting.\n\nChatGPT scored between a B- and B on the Wharton MBA exam, sparking further debate. The next iteration, ChatGPT-4, has already launched for ChatGPT Plus, with Bing Chat partially built on the GPT-4 model. Microsoft has made a multibillion-dollar investment in ChatGPT, integrating it into Office apps like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook through 365 Copilot.\n\nAlthough GPT-5 is not currently planned, GPT-4.5 is in training and may be available later this year. ChatGPT faces competition from Microsoft\'s Bing Chat, YouChat, Forefront AI, and Google Bard, which is based on Google\'s LaMDA language model. Other chatbots are based on Meta\'s open-source LLaMA model, such as Vicuna and HuggingChat.\n\nOpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, started as a non-profit but became a for-profit company in 2019. It is led by CEO Sam Altman and is backed by prominent figures like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. There is no official mobile app for ChatGPT, and many apps in app stores claiming to be ChatGPT are scams. Users may encounter "at capacity" notices due to high demand, but waiting patiently should grant access. ChatGPT has limitations on answering certain questions and its knowledge is limited to information up to late 2021.\n\nAuto-GPT, built on GPT-4, is an open-source Python application that allows AI to work autonomously towards set goals. It is not directly related to ChatGPT or OpenAI but has been considered a step toward Artificial General Intelligence. GPT-4 is a more advanced LLM than GPT-3.5, offering more precise answers and better performance in tasks like coding and creative collaboration. Currently, access to GPT-4 is only available through ChatGPT Plus. The debate around copyright and AI continues, with some claiming generative AI "steals" work from its training content. Companies like Adobe are addressing this by training models on stock image libraries with proper artist credit and legal boundaries. OpenAI allows users to reprint, sell, and merchandise content created with ChatGPT or ChatGPT Plus. However, copyright law regarding generative AI is still being determined by lawmakers, as current laws only protect content created by humans.\n\nMicrosoft has released an updated version of Bing Chat, surpassing ChatGPT in some aspects. The new version, no longer in Limited Preview, offers four new features that expand its AI capabilities. Meanwhile, scammers are targeting ChatGPT with malware to compromise online accounts, according to a security report by Meta.\n\nOpenAI is threatening a lawsuit against a computer science student, Xtekky, for his open-source GPT4free project, which allows users to interact with GPT-4 without paying for OpenAI\'s ChatGPT Plus service.\n\nSource: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiWmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRpZ2l0YWx0cmVuZHMuY29tL2NvbXB1dGluZy9ob3ctdG8tdXNlLW9wZW5haS1jaGF0Z3B0LXRleHQtZ2VuZXJhdGlvbi1jaGF0Ym90L9IBXmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRpZ2l0YWx0cmVuZHMuY29tL2NvbXB1dGluZy9ob3ctdG8tdXNlLW9wZW5haS1jaGF0Z3B0LXRleHQtZ2VuZXJhdGlvbi1jaGF0Ym90Lz9hbXA?oc=5', 'link': 'https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiWmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRpZ2l0YWx0cmVuZHMuY29tL2NvbXB1dGluZy9ob3ctdG8tdXNlLW9wZW5haS1jaGF0Z3B0LXRleHQtZ2VuZXJhdGlvbi1jaGF0Ym90L9IBXmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmRpZ2l0YWx0cmVuZHMuY29tL2NvbXB1dGluZy9ob3ctdG8tdXNlLW9wZW5haS1jaGF0Z3B0LXRleHQtZ2VuZXJhdGlvbi1jaGF0Ym90Lz9hbXA?oc=5'}

- {'summarized_text': 'OpenAI has introduced multimodal models to ChatGPT with GPT-4, allowing for image input capabilities. However, ChatGPT Plus currently does not support image input through its user interface, and it is only possible through the GPT-4 API, accessible to developers. GPT-4 image input can provide natural language, code, instructions, or artificial opinions as a response when given an image and a set of instructions or questions.\n\nExamples of GPT-4\'s image input capabilities include interpreting patterns of shapes, analyzing graphs, or even understanding humor in a Reddit post. The new GPT-4 model also offers "steerability," allowing users to modify and manipulate the AI\'s personality.\n\nAlthough GPT-4 can process various forms of data input, it still only returns natural language responses. For AI that generates images as a response, consider OpenAI\'s DALL-E image generation API. Currently, ChatGPT does not have the ability to generate images, and there is no indication that this feature will be added.\n\nIn summary, GPT-4 brings image input capabilities to ChatGPT, allowing it to analyze and interpret images, but it is currently limited to the developer API. ChatGPT still only provides natural language responses and does not generate images. ChatGPT can provide recipe recommendations based on images and generate text input for art generators like Midjourney. It can also create poetry and ASCII art, although with varying success. ChatGPT does not make images or take videos as input, as it is strictly a natural language AI. While not built for creating artwork, OpenAI has a separate chatbot, Dall-E-2, for that purpose.\n\nSource: http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=645c0a289b6a4a9b881c4f262eaf33ce&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.videogamer.com%2ftech%2fai%2fgpt-4-image-input%2f&c=11063451554991590146&mkt=en-us', 'link': 'http://www.bing.com/news/apiclick.aspx?ref=FexRss&aid=&tid=645c0a289b6a4a9b881c4f262eaf33ce&url=https%3a%2f%2fwww.videogamer.com%2ftech%2fai%2fgpt-4-image-input%2f&c=11063451554991590146&mkt=en-us'}
