OpenAI has been making waves with their ChatGPT AI language model, and they have now taken it to the next level by granting it internet access and the ability to execute code. This development opens up new opportunities for users to get more personalized and specific answers to their queries.
How ChatGPT Learns
ChatGPT is a language model AI that trains itself on a limited set of data. The data cutoff for the latest version, GPT-4, is late 2021. However, with the new plugin ecosystem, ChatGPT gains access to the internet, allowing it to surf the web and find answers to queries that are not in its knowledge base. ChatGPT sends relevant search strings to Bing and looks at the results. It then reads links it deems worthy and uses them to formulate an answer for the user. This feature provides a more personalized and up-to-date answer to the user's query.
What ChatGPT Can Do
With its ability to execute code, ChatGPT can now create and run software for users. It also has the capability to upload and download files, allowing it to perform operations on data in specific file formats. ChatGPT can resize images or convert them to grayscale, create annotated graphs from spreadsheets, and perform math and computing operations.
Third-party plugins, such as Expedia, OpenTable, and Kayak, allow ChatGPT to search for and set up bookings for flights, restaurants, accommodation, and rental cars. Other plugins like Instacart, Klarna, and Shop can find and compare products and set up orders. ChatGPT also has a Zapier plugin, which serves as a gateway to over 5,000 other apps, including Gmail, Google Sheets, Trello, HubSpot, and Salesforce.
What Users Need to Know
OpenAI is aware of the potential risks of this technology and is keeping ChatGPT's capabilities limited for safety reasons. At present, it cannot perform transactions that involve money, and its web browser activities are read-only. It also cannot visit websites that are not available through Bing's "safe mode" or sites that request not to be crawled in their robots.txt files.
The future is bright for ChatGPT, and its new capabilities present opportunities for more personalized and up-to-date answers to user queries. The plugin ecosystem allows for further customization of ChatGPT's capabilities, making it the ultimate personal assistant. However, the risks of this technology are unprecedented, and OpenAI is taking the necessary precautions to ensure safety. The possibilities and implications of this technology are significant, and we are undoubtedly in uncharted territory.
