GPT-4 has the ability to speak and write like a human
With its ability to write seemingly manmade text, ChatGPT impressed many people worldwide. GPT-4, a new version, will launch next week which of course caused a buzz of online rumors.
Several people think it would be able to answer user queries with images, videos, and music. On the other hand, others fear it may bring an AI that can think and adapt by itself.
The question on everyone’s mind is if the new version of ChatGPT worth the hype. Looking back at the recent comments from OpenAI and Microsoft representatives, GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer. It reigns as the large language model that powers ChatGPT. Nowadays, it runs on ChatGPT 3.5.
The AI chatbot alone already impresses, able to create written media, such as scientific papers, academic journals, poems, and even jokes. In turn, it amazed people worldwide with its uncanny ability to write and speak like a human. In addition, everyone can use this powerful tool for free.
On March 11, Microsoft Germany told the news website, Heise, “We will introduce GPT-4 next week… we will have multimodal models that will offer completely different possibilities.”
The “multimodal” term means it could take information from numerous sources. In short, the new version would not be limited to text-only responses.
Rather, the upgrade will enable the chatbot to answer questions with images, music, and video.
Other folks went overboard by expecting GPT-4 to be significantly more powerful than GPT-3. More specifically, rumors spread that the former trained on 100 trillion parameters.
In time, it grew into speculation that CEO Sam Altman has developed Artificial General Intelligence. It is an AI so advanced it could learn anything humans can.
However, Altman shot down the rumors during a StrictlyVC interview program:
“I saw that on Twitter. It’s complete [expletive]. The GPT rumor mill is like a ridiculous thing…. People are begging to be disappointed, and they will be. We don’t have an actual AGI, and I think that’s sort of what’s expected of us, and you know, yeah… we’re going to disappoint those people.”
