‘Upset’ with Game of Thrones? ChatGPT could help, says OpenAI co-founder

ChatGPT is “going to be a tool, just like the cell phone in your pocket,” says OpenAI’s co-founder.

Greg Brockman, president and co-founder of OpenAI, has suggested that ChatGPT could help enhance the “interactive” entertainment experience.

“Imagine if you could ask your AI to make a new ending that goes a different way and maybe even put yourself in there as a main character or something,” he said during a panel discussion at the 2023 South by Southwest (SXSW) event on Friday.

Brockman compared the technology to a team of “assistants” who aren’t flawless but are “eager and never sleep,” according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter (THR) on Friday.

ChatGPT’s 4th gear in AI race: GPT-4 coming next week, announces Microsoft

GPT-4 will offer videos and could function admirably in sensory modes in addition to text.

GPT-4 will be released “next week,” Microsoft Germany’s CTO, Andreas Braun, has announced, sparking excitement in the artificial intelligence (AI) community.

The ground-breaking large language model (LLM) series, which includes GPT-4, will possibly allow videos and more, according to German media reports.

Google engineers had built ChatGPT-like AI years ago but executives blocked it

Google executives had blocked the AI chatbot from public testing, citing concerns that it did not meet company standards.

Years ago, Daniel De Freitas and Noam Shazeer, engineers at Google, had developed a ChatGPT-like conversational chatbot that could talk about philosophy and TV shows and make pun jokes.

Conversational chatbots are the shiny new thing in the tech industry, with companies looking to incorporate them across their products.

However, the executives at the company blocked it from being tested outside the company or released as a public demo citing concerns over the lack of meeting company standards, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported. The duo has since left the company.

Andreas Braun, Chief Technology Officer at Microsoft Germany, recently confirmed that GPT-4 will be unveiled next week at an event called — AI in Focus — Digital Kickoff, reports Windows Central. “We will introduce GPT-4 next week, where we have multimodal models that will offer completely different possibilities — for example, videos,” Braun was quoted as saying.

I believe chatbots understand part of what they say. Let me explain

Finally, a rational exploration of what ChatGPT actually knows and what that means.

I used to think that today’s so-called “artificial intelligences” are actually pretty dumb. But I’ve recently changed my mind. In this video I want to explain why I think that they do understand some of what they do, if not very much. And since I was already freely speculating, I have added some thoughts about how the situation with AIs is going to develop.

Get Ready to Meet the ChatGPT Clones

ChatGPT might well be the most famous, and potentially valuable, algorithm of the moment, but the artificial intelligence techniques used by OpenAI to provide its smarts are neither unique nor secret. Competing projects and open-source clones may soon make ChatGPT-style bots available for anyone to copy and reuse.

Stability AI, a startup that has already developed and open-sourced advanced image-generation technology, is working on an open competitor to ChatGPT. “We are a few months from release,” says Emad Mostaque, Stability’s CEO. A number of competing startups, including Anthropic, Cohere, and AI21, are working on proprietary chatbots similar to OpenAI’s bot.

The impending flood of sophisticated chatbots will make the technology more abundant and visible to consumers, as well as more accessible to AI businesses, developers, and researchers. That could accelerate the rush to make money with AI tools that generate images, code, and text.

GPT-4 reveal: Microsoft won’t comment on launch rumors

Andreas Braun, CTO of Microsoft Germany, announced the introduction of GPT-4 for next week. The models will be multimodal.

At the “AI in Focus – Digital Kickoff” event, Microsoft Germany presented business applications of large language models and talked about its cooperation with OpenAI and new Azure offerings resulting from it.

As Silke Hahn reports for Heise, Braun announced a GPT-4 reveal next week: “Next week we will present GPT-4, there we have multimodal models that offer completely different possibilities – for example videos,” Braun said.

Microsoft Says OpenAI’s Latest Blockbuster AI Is Dropping “Next Week”

Update, March 10: A spokesperson for OpenAI has confirmed in a statement to Futurism that “OpenAI has not announced any timing for GPT-4.”

A German Microsoft executive has, for some reason, claimed that OpenAI’s next large language model (LLM) will drop imminently.

“We will introduce GPT-4 next week, there we will have multimodal models that will offer completely different possibilities — for example, videos,” claimed Microsoft Germany CTO Andreas Braun during a digital kickoff event yesterday, per German tech news site Heise Online.
