AI Chronicles: ChatGPT, GPT-4, and the Pioneering Adventures of Talkative Tech
Introduction
In today's news roundup, we will
discuss the following key events:
- ChatGPT, created by OpenAI, is a natural language AI chatbot that generates responses based on a Large Language Model (LLM) rather than using pre-set answers. It is built on the GPT-3.5 LLM and has been trained on various web content, using supervised learning and Reinforcement Learning From Human Feedback (RLHF). To use ChatGPT, users need to register for a free account on chat.openai.com, providing an email address and a non-VoIP phone number. Once registered, users can type in text prompts and receive information, refining their questions based on the context of previous queries. ChatGPT can be guided to provide answers in specific styles, tones, or formats. However, there is a potential for the chatbot to generate incorrect data if there is not enough accurate information available. ChatGPT, powered by GPT-3.5 LLM, has limited knowledge of events after 2021 and only works with text. The basic version is free to use without daily usage limits, but there are word and character limits for responses. OpenAI spends approximately $3 million per month to run ChatGPT. A premium version, ChatGPT Plus, costs $20 per month and offers additional benefits.\n\nUsers need to experiment with prompts to get the best results from ChatGPT. It can be used for various tasks, like writing template blog posts or generating code. However, it has limitations and safeguards against offensive content. The announcement of ChatGPT plugins has excited developers, as they can build plugins directly for ChatGPT, allowing it to access the internet and connect to specific APIs. Early applications include Expedia, Instacart, Slack, and OpenTable. Despite its usefulness, ChatGPT has faced problems and criticisms. Generative AI like ChatGPT has raised concerns among tech leaders and public figures, who have signed a petition to slow down its development. Privacy concerns led to its ban in Italy, and there are fears of job losses, with Goldman Sachs estimating up to 300 million jobs at risk worldwide. Controversies have arisen around its use in tasks that should be handled by humans, such as Vanderbilt University\'s Peabody School generating an email about a mass shooting. ChatGPT also scored between a B- and B on the Wharton MBA exam, raising further concerns.\n\nThe next iteration, ChatGPT-4, has launched and is integrated into Microsoft Teams Premium and Microsoft 365 Copilot. OpenAI has denied rumors of GPT-5 achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI) and clarified that it is not currently planned. However, GPT-4.5 is in training and may be available later this year.\n\nChatGPT faces competition from Microsoft\'s Bing Chat, which uses the GPT-4 model, YouChat, which uses GPT-3, Forefront AI, which provides access to GPT-4 and beyond, and Google Bard, based on Google\'s LaMDA language model. OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, was initially a non-profit organization funded by figures like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, but became a for-profit company in 2019 and is now led by CEO Sam Altman. Nvidia GPUs power ChatGPT, an AI developed by OpenAI, which has received significant investment from Microsoft since 2019. Many apps, including Snapchat\'s MyAI, have partnered with OpenAI to use the ChatGPT API, enabling developers to integrate natural language capabilities into their apps and websites.

OpenAI recently announced a way to hide chats from the sidebar, which won\'t be used to train AI models. ChatGPT, based on GPT-3.5 LLM, was publicly launched in November 2022. Its predecessors, GPT-3, GPT-2, and GPT, were released in March 2022, February 2019, and 2018, respectively.\n\nCompetitors like Google Bard and Jasper AI have emerged in response to ChatGPT\'s success. Microsoft has integrated ChatGPT into Bing as Bing Chat, focusing on combining search and AI while providing links for further research. Bing Chat now uses the GPT-4 language model, offering improved accuracy and user-friendly features such as suggested prompts and answer customization. Google Bard, on the other hand, uses LaMDA, Google\'s own Language Model for Dialogue Applications. Bard is expected to receive a massive update soon, increasing its training parameters from 30 billion to 600 billion, potentially bringing it closer to GPT-4\'s capabilities.\n\nChatGPT has been controversial due to its potential impact on various fields, such as essay writing and code generation. Although powerful, it is essential to double-check its outputs. OpenAI\'s ChatGPT has an approximate character limit of 500 words or 4,000 characters, with longer responses available through ChatGPT Plus.\n\nOpenAI recently announced a bug bounty program for ChatGPT, offering cash awards ranging from $200 to $20,000 for exceptional discoveries. ChatGPT is accessible via a webpage, and no official app has been released yet. Users can install ChatGPT as a Windows app through Edge or use tools like MacGPT for desktop access. The ChatGPT API is now available for integration into various tools, such as Discord\'s Clyde chatbot. Users are attempting to replace Siri with ChatGPT on iPhones and use apps like Perplexity AI. However, there is no official mobile app for ChatGPT, and many apps found in stores are scams. Due to high demand, ChatGPT occasionally faces "at capacity" issues, leading some users to seek unofficial paid apps. ChatGPT has limitations in answering certain questions, and its training data only goes up to late 2021.\n\nAuto-GPT, built on GPT-4, is an open-source Python application that showcases the capabilities of the GPT-4 language model. It allows AI to autonomously achieve goals across the internet by connecting with applications and software. Some consider it as the beginning of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) due to its autonomous nature.\n\nGPT-4 is a more advanced LLM than GPT-3.5, offering more precise answers, better coding and creative collaboration, and the ability to handle longer text selections. It is currently only available through ChatGPT Plus. The debate around copyright and AI continues, with concerns about generative AI "stealing" content. Adobe addresses 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 remains to be determined by lawmakers, as current laws only protect content created by humans.\n\nMicrosoft has released an updated version of Bing Chat, which has left its Limited Preview stage and is now accessible to all. Four new features expand Bing Chat\'s AI capabilities, including visual answers. Meanwhile, scammers have targeted ChatGPT, with Meta reporting that its security analysts have discovered 10 types of malware posing as ChatGPT and similar AI tools since March.\n\nOpenAI is threatening a lawsuit against a computer science student, Xtekky, over his open-source GPT4free GitHub repository.
