Chatbot ChatGPT can answer more current questions
The popular AI chatbot ChatGPT will in future be informed about events up to April of this year. Previously, the program's knowledge of the world ended in September 2021, and developer OpenAI will strive to never be that far behind again, said its boss Sam Altman. They were at least as annoyed by this as the users. In future, the timeliness of the information should be further improved.
Shortly before the OpenAI announcement, tech billionaire Elon Musk presented a chatbot from his AI company X.AI, which can access fresh information from the online platform X (formerly Twitter), which he also owns.
According to OpenAI, ChatGPT is accessed by around 100 million users per week. The chatbot now runs on the new generation of AI technology presented by OpenAI on Monday, called GPT-4 Turbo. With the introduction of the new GPT version, OpenAI is also lowering the prices for use by developers - to one US cent per 1,000 requests and three cents per 1,000 responses. GPT-4 Turbo can also accept much longer requests than before.
Specialized chatbots for individual tasks
Other new features include making it easier to create specialized chatbots for individual tasks. This could be advice on removing stains from laundry or explaining board game rules, for example.
OpenAI calls such assistants GPTs - and according to Altman, they can be programmed using speech alone. On stage at OpenAI's first developer conference, he set up a chatbot with just a few sentences to give advice to start-up founders.
This function could undermine the business of companies that specialize in adapting ChatGPT for specific applications. At the same time, OpenAI will share its proceeds with the authors of the "most used and most useful" GPTs, Altman announced. More details will be provided later.
AI chatbots such as ChatGPT can formulate texts at the linguistic level of a human. The principle behind this is that they estimate word for word how a sentence should continue. The models are trained with huge amounts of information. The publication of ChatGPT at the end of last year triggered a worldwide hype surrounding artificial intelligence.
