The release of GPT-4 has caused a stir among users and industry experts, as the new AI technology showcases remarkable capabilities in its early tests and company demo. Notably, GPT-4 can draft legal documents, pass standardized exams, and even create a functional website from a hand-drawn sketch.
OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot tool ChatGPT, recently announced the launch of GPT-4, the next-generation version of their AI technology. With its increased power and capabilities, GPT-4 has the potential to revolutionize how we work, play, and create on the internet.
However, the release of GPT-4 also raises challenging questions about the impact of AI tools on professions, education, and our relationship with technology.
GPT-4 is an updated version of OpenAI’s large language model, trained on vast amounts of online data to generate complex responses to user prompts. It is currently available via a waitlist and has already been integrated into third-party products, such as Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing search engine.
Early users of GPT-4 are sharing their experiences and showcasing some of its most compelling use cases.
GPT-4’s New Photo Analysis Capabilities
Transforming Drawings into Websites and Analyzing Images
OpenAI’s latest development, GPT-4, is set to revolutionize how we work with images. One of its most impressive features is the ability to turn hand-drawn sketches into functional websites within minutes.
In a recent demo, an OpenAI representative uploaded a drawing to GPT-4, which generated the necessary code for a preview of the website. Additionally, GPT-4 demonstrated its ability to explain jokes from a series of images, a challenging task that requires context to be understood.
The New York Times also tested GPT-4’s capabilities by showing it a photo of the interior of a refrigerator and prompting it to suggest a meal based on the ingredients. Although the photo feature is not yet available, OpenAI is expected to roll it out in the coming weeks.
GPT-4: Revolutionizing Coding for Everyone
OpenAI’s GPT-4 is set to democratize coding with its powerful language capabilities. Even users with no prior coding experience can use GPT-4 to create iconic games such as Pong, Tetris, or Snake, with step-by-step instructions provided by the tool.
GPT-4 can write code in all major programming languages, opening the door to independent gaming providers, among other possibilities. Moreover, GPT-4 can be used for creating marketing content around game previews, generating news articles, and moderating gaming discussion boards.
The tool could also change the way people develop apps. Users on Twitter have claimed to have created a simple drawing app and an app that recommends new movies daily, complete with trailers and streaming information.
As Lian Jye Su, an analyst at ABI Research, says, “Coding is like learning how to drive — as long as the beginner gets some guidance, anyone can code. AI can be a good teacher.”
A Top Performer on Professional and Academic Tests
OpenAI’s GPT-4 may be “less capable” than humans in many real-world scenarios, but it exhibits “human-level performance” on various professional and academic tests, according to the company. GPT-4 recently passed a simulated law school bar exam with a score around the top 10% of test takers, compared to its predecessor, GPT-3.5, which scored around the bottom 10%. GPT-4 also performed strongly on the LSAT, GRE, SATs, and many AP exams. In January, ChatGPT made headlines for passing prestigious graduate-level exams with lower scores. However, OpenAI spent months using lessons from its testing program and ChatGPT to improve GPT-4’s accuracy and ability to stay on topic.
Enhancing response quality and length
OpenAI claims that GPT-4 generates more precise and reliable written responses compared to its predecessor.
The latest version can produce responses up to 25,000 words, which is a significant increase from the previous limit of around 4,000 words. It can offer detailed guidance for various unique situations, such as providing instructions on how to clean a piranha’s fish tank or extract the DNA of a strawberry. Some early users have also reported that GPT-4 gave them elaborate suggestions for pickup lines based on a question mentioned on a dating profile.
Streamline work across industries
GPT-4 has the potential to streamline work across industries, with companies already exploring its capabilities. DoNotPay, a legal services chatbot, plans to use the tool to generate one-click lawsuits against robocallers, while dating site Keeper is using GPT-4 to improve user matches. Other potential applications include advancements in connected car dashboards, remote healthcare diagnosis, and other AI-based applications. The latest version of GPT-4 can provide more reliable and detailed responses, with the ability to produce responses up to 25,000 words and provide instructions for unique scenarios.
