Four months after ChatGPT blew our minds and started a tech industry scramble for AI superiority, there’s an update. OpenAI, the San Francisco tech start-up behind the famous chatbot, has released the much-anticipated GPT-4, and the new model is said to be more precise, better at reasoning, and less prone to “hallucinations” (aka when AI bots spew up random/incorrect information). GPT-4 can also make sense of images: for example, when shown a photo of the inside of a fridge, it can suggest meal options based on the ingredients inside. Or it can explain memes if you’re struggling to understand why Andrew Garfield is trending following the Oscars… Oh, and they say GPT-4 can write better jokes, so if the robot apocalypse comes, at least we’ll get a laugh. The update is already being used by some of OpenAI’s commercial partners and is available to users of ChatGPT Plus, the paid-for version of the ChatGPT chatbot.
