Open AI CEO takes to Twitter to announce GPT-4
Racking up over 3.7M views and over 25K engagements, Open AI’s CEO Sam Altman took to Twitter to share the latest iteration of Chat GPT, opening the floor for feedback and improvements to the tool.
In OpenAI’s latest step in scaling up deep learning GPT-4 now accepts image alongside text inputs, exhibiting human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks – you can now ask GPT-4 questions about an image and receive a detailed analysis.
Although Altman sought to temper expectations, noting “it is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it”, he went on to add that “it is more creative than previous models, it hallucinates significantly less, and it is less biased. it can pass a bar exam and score a 5 on several AP exams. there is a version with a 32k token context”
From completing taxes to turning a simple sketch into a website, GPT-4 can now generate up to 25,000 words and new possibilities for users on the waitlist and in ChatGPT+.
Microsoft’s Satya Nadella announces AI-driven Office suite
On Thursday, Microsoft’s CEO Satya Nadella took to LinkedIn Live to announce the company’s plans to integrate AI into their Office suite including Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
In the announcement, Nadella compared the new AI-driven era to “seminal moments” like the advent of the personal computer and the introduction of the world wide web.
Nadella praised the ever increasing “symbiotic relationship” between people and technology, claiming with this latest generation of AI the technology is moving from “autopilot to co-pilot”. As such, Microsoft have dubbed the new features “Copilot”.
Nadella also briefly touched upon the ethics of AI, reminding audiences that it can be influenced by individuals and so we all have a “collective obligation” to use such tools responsibly.
Microsoft has said that the new Copilot in Word feature will give people a “first draft to edit and iterate on — saving hours in writing, sourcing, and editing time.” While PowerPoint will be able to automatically generate slides that use imagery spooled from a person’s Microsoft OneDrive storage account for compelling visuals, and Outlook will help people to more easily draft emails.
Throughout the LinkedIn Live Nadella and the product leads were keen to emphasise that AI can be wrong and that humans should always check any AI-generated content for errors.
Microsoft also did not state when the new Copilot features would debut and what the pricing would be.
