Unveiling ChatGPT-4: A Comprehensive Look at the Latest Breakthrough in AI

0:00Today, OpenAI announced that they are launching their new GPT4. this is probably one of the most highly anticipated pieces of technology in tech so we're going to break down exactly what that means how it works and what it can do better than the original chat gpt so just as a quick little refresher when chat gpt launched originally it was on gpt3 they did a slight update to do gpt 3.5 some slight updates and now they have officially launched gpt 4. So in order to use it, you have to be a paying premium user of ChatGPT, and then you can opt into it. And it's got a lot of it's got a lot of cool new features.

0:38But you know, I would say for anyone that thinks this is going to be like the next thing and AI and robots are going to take over everything. As I've been saying for a while on the podcast, you know, probably a few weeks ago, maybe a month ago, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI came out and said, you know, for people that think this is the case with GPT-4, they're just getting their hopes up, and it's not as maybe crazy as some might think. So as far as the breakdown really quickly of exactly what is different with this, number one, it has a lot better reasoning capabilities. Number two, it can take images as inputs.

1:12So you can feed it an image and say, based off this image, blah, blah, blah, blah, so like mixing an image and text. And the third thing it can do is that they increased the text it can generate and receive and i'll explain what the difference is on that from 3 000 words to 25 000 words so it could technically generate a 25 000 word article off of a single prompt or piece of content essentially right if you prompted it the right way and did what you needed so what's interesting about the um word increase there is specifically for companies and software that are built on top of chat gpt um the way it works is because there's so much computational power the prompt that you give it and the text it outputs are combined together so if you had you know a really sophisticated for example i have like a sophisticated life coach and the way it works is we have like a full page prompt we've written instructing it how to be a life coach and how that whole thing works and so if you combine all the text there whatever the output it gives you can only be previously 3 ,000 words with what you gave it plus what output.

2:22So now that they've increased this, this gives the opportunity not just for it to create longer content, but for you to be able to input much, much bigger prompts, much more complex prompts. And the fact that it can understand, right, like 25 ,000 words, you could probably put like a massive chunk of a book in here and have it write a summary versus just like a single page or article. You know, you could get like whole chapter summaries on stuff. So it's gonna be really interesting to see what happens just alone with the increase in text that they've kind of bumped it up to. Another thing they say is that it's much more safe.

2:54I think ChatGPT in their kind of like documentation on this said that if you, you know, it's like 82 % less likely to respond to requests for what they call disallowed content, which to be honest, pretty much just means they had more people manually go and put manual safeguards which has been criticized a lot right it's a lot of it is politically motivated or essentially you know biased towards whatever they deem is socially acceptable or uh whatever is okay content so i mean you know that is taken with a grain of salt a handful of people i've talked to are not thrilled by just the more um you know like people and pretty much a lot of people are not excited when you say like oh i made my thing more safe.

3:41It's like, safe from who? Like, you know, if you're an adult, you can just handle what you get out of it. So anyways, that's with a grain of salt. And maybe some people like to be kind of babied in that way in the content they see or whatnot. And, you know, definitely for children and for kids using it, that might be useful for adults. You know, some adults just want to be treated like adults, but I know that's not for everyone. In any case, off of my spiel on that. One other thing ChatGPT did is, this is kind of a funny thing they threw out there on their kind of like launch notes is that chat gpt took the bar exam and it was in the 10th percentile so this is just like the og chat gpt and with this new gpt4 um it took the bar exam and it was in the 90th percentile so obviously this is kind of like reasoning capabilities that they're putting out there have actually made some big impacts um with like academic stuff which i think is important because um they're really trying to push this thing into kind of a tool for educators and education um overall i would say i'm pretty glad to see that they're they're kind of pushing for this rapid incremental change right like it wasn't that long ago we had gbt3 gbt 3.5 like they're iterating very fast and making a lot of updates so i think this is a really solid update at a very fast pace i really can't complain but like that being said this isn't the apocalypse this thing isn't you know you know uh super genius it is interesting though a couple companies they've been integrating with number one duolingo they have it to kind of i guess they say to deepen the conversation on duolingo really to kind of create a chat bot that helps you when you're learning different languages or whatnot the other thing is they're working with a company called be my eyes and essentially it's for blind people to take a picture of something and then there's a bunch of volunteers that can go and help you know learn or help tell people what exactly the the blind person took a picture of and make sure that you know they're buying the right thing or making the right choice or whatever so it's a really awesome kind of I think it's I think it's a non-profit organization in any case they're working with them because now that you can do the image inputs they're helping those people to know exactly what they're seeing right so you may not actually need volunteers to tell you exactly what you're taking a picture of because now OpenAI ChatGPT could help people with visual you know and vision disabilities to see better so that's kind of interesting another area is stripe stripe is leveraging the gpt4 to pretty much streamline user experience and to combat fraud um so that is uh obviously a very powerful use case we'll dive more into exactly what that means morgan stanley the bank you know they're using uh wealth management tools and they're they deployed gpt4 to organize a lot of their knowledge base um so that's very interesting con academy right like i was talking about they're they're kind of pushing into education Khan Academy integrates GPT-4 as every student's customized tutor right so now that this thing can if you think about it it's kind of interesting because they have a handful of companies that they obviously gave GPT-4 to ahead of time obviously well selected right like we're talking a bank or Stripe or also the government of Iceland to help preserve its language Khan Academy which is a non-profit education company be my eyes a non-profit for people with disabilities Duolingo for learning a new language right I feel like they've really specifically chosen a like companies that kind of have goodwill maybe less stripe and Morgan Stanley but like Khan Academy preserving the Icelandic language you know learning new language Duolingo be my eyes nonprofit right so I feel like they've really intentionally chosen a number of specific companies but what's interesting is it would appear that a lot of their new features they've added with GPT for also directly apply to these companies right like be my eyes is probably one of the big motivators for them to allow image inputs and they already had dolly too which classified images so obviously the technology is not that far off it's not like they invented something too crazy but uh it'll be interesting to see what they continue to do how this continues to change and improve in the future but all in all a very solid technology and some serious progress they've made so far
