The leading AI chatbot just came out with a new version, and the technology space is buzzing about the possibilities.
OpenAI has released a fourth version of ChatGPT, called GPT-4, that understands images. This means it can look at a photo and provide general information about what's in it and answer questions based on its properties.
The new version also has a larger database, allowing it to provide more accurate information and write code in all major programming languages.
OpenAI touted the chatbot's ability to communicate in other highly technical formats.
"GPT-4 is more creative and collaborative than ever before," the company wrote on its website. "It can generate, edit, and iterate with users on creative and technical writing tasks, such as composing songs, writing screenplays, or learning a user’s writing style."
The company also said the version is capable of "advanced reasoning capabilities" and provided examples of it solving complicated logical puzzles.
The first version of the chatbot was released just a few months ago and is already considered the fastest-growing consumer application in history.
Alex Valaitis, who writes a newsletter about AI, tweeted that the ChatGPT update was "biggest release since the iPhone."
One month after its launch, new streaming venture CNN+ announced it was shutting down. Seth Schachner, the managing director of StratAmericas and digital business executive, joined Cheddar News to talk about the high-profile media flop. "That's a really, really different beast than what HBO Max is, which is video streaming, entertainment features," he said. “It's a tough sell when you really look at these things in the cold light of day as to whether or not they actually fit together."
Meta wants creators to make money from the metaverse, but it's going to take a large chunk of the cut. The tech giant is planning to keep nearly 50% of all digital asset sales within Horizon Worlds, the virtual reality platform that's considered an integral part of the company's unfolding metaverse. Rolf Illenberger, Co-founder and Managing Director of VRdirect, joined Cheddar to discuss why Meta is taking heat for this move, and what it could be doing as an alternative to help support creators, small businesses, and consumers.
