GPT-4's 10x productivity surge, outshines GPT-3 with an electrifying merge! Much More Powerful It Is
The new GPT-4 artificial intelligence software from OpenAI has only been out for one day. But developers are already finding incredible ways to use the updated tool, which now has the ability to analyze images and write code in all major programming languages.
The buzzy launch of OpenAI’s fourth generation AI software capped months of hype and anticipation over the powers of this technology, which many industry leaders believe has created a fundamental technological shift similar to the creation of web browsers in the early 1990s.
On Tuesday, companies all across the U.S. began coming up with ways to integrate GPT-4 into their products. Duolingo, the language-learning app, announced it would now be able to share more personalized explanations for mistakes powered by AI, which might include “signature, playful and quirky commentary.” At Stripe, the electronic payment platform, GPT-4 is already being used to provide users with accurate answers about customer support and fraud detection. Financial services firm Morgan Stanley is also using GPT-4 to streamline internal technical support processes. Even the government of Iceland is working with OpenAI to help preserve the Icelandic language.
“The speed at which it’s able to program and be creative is pretty staggering,” says Josh Pigford, the founder of Maybe, a financial planning firm that plans to use GPT-4 to quickly extract credit card transaction data for users. “It replaces what an engineer could potentially do.”
In the medical profession, doctors are even considering using GPT-4 for patient consultations. Anil Gehi, an associate professor of medicine and a cardiologist at UNC-Chapel Hill, described to the chatbot the medical history of a few patients he had seen earlier that presented complex medical cases. In just seconds, the chatbot gave him a perfect answer on how he should have treated the patient using all the correct medical terminology. “It very cogently thought through those clinical scenarios and laid out options to consider,” Dr. Gehi says. “It was very impressive.”
“It’s not going to replace a human doctor,” he adds. “But it’s one of those things we can use alongside our work.”
With its wide display of knowledge, the new GPT has also fuelled public anxiety over how people will be able to compete for jobs outsourced to artificially trained machines. “Looks like I’m out of job,” one user posted on Twitter in response to a video of someone using GPT-4 to turn a hand-drawn sketch into a functional website. “Idk if i should be excited or scared,” another wrote.
The nonprofit organization Common Sense released a statement on Tuesday calling for a national dialogue around kids and artificial intelligence, saying that “the consequences for kids, educators and families—both good and bad—have not been thoroughly considered.”
Others expressed concern that GPT-4 still pulls information from a database that lacks real-time or up-to-date information, as it was trained on data up to August 2022. The time-gap could make trusting the accuracy of what’s online more difficult. “The real breakthrough will occur, however, when an AI system…contains up-to-date information—ideally updated in real-time or, failing that, every few hours,” says Oliver Chapman, CEO of supply chain specialists OCI.
To use GPT-4, users have to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus, a $20 monthly subscription, for premium access to the service. GPT-4 currently has a cap of 100 messages every four hours.
