What is ChatGPT?
How familiar are people with Chat GPT? 45% of the people we polled said they were “Very familiar”.
ChatGPT was released in 2022 by OpenAI and has become an absolute game changer in the way it’s able to instantaneously generate content. It can learn linguistic patterns and produce responses that resemble those of humans after being trained with a significant amount of text data.
Answering trivia questions, creating essays, and having chats are just a few of the many tasks ChatGPT is capable of. To produce contextually appropriate responses, it makes use of a transformer architecture that processes text inputs and outputs with attention mechanisms. It has the potential to massively impact a wide variety of business sectors and society at large.
What is GPT-4?
GPT-4 is a large multimodal language model from OpenAI that can produce text from both textual and visual input. Greater complexity than was able to be handled by earlier GPT models can be handled by GPT-4. On many academic and professional benchmarks, including the Uniform Bar Exam, the AI model performs at a level comparable to that of a human. It was created to enhance alignment and scalability.
43% of the people we surveyed said that they plan to implement ChatGPT into their work.
ChatGPT vs ChatGPT-4
GPT-4’s extended memory is one of the most significant improvements. It allows the handling of more complicated jobs with greater precision and a wider variety of applications. GPT-4 performs better under pressure since it has more parameters and is more powerful than earlier iterations, notably GPT-3.
The ability to accept multimodal inputs, as opposed to ChatGPT and other iterations of GPT, is another considerable improvement in GPT-4. GPT-4 is accessible with a $20 monthly ChatGPT Plus membership, although ChatGPT Plus only supports text output at the moment. Additionally, ChatGPT plus users can access special tools like DALL·E, Browsing, Advanced Data Analysis, and more.
OpenAI plans to expand its GPT-4 model with many new features. For instance, as of September 2023, ChatGPT Plus supports voice input, allowing users to engage in back-and-forth conversations with the AI bot. This feature is available on the mobile app for iOS and Android and it’s powered by a new text-to-speech model.
