You may have heard of Chat GPT-3 – now the company behind the AI tool has released the next version. It can process significantly more information and scores highly on standardized tests. – I think it will start to be used quite soon in a lot of different places, says Daniel Gillblad, director of Chalmers’ research center for artificial intelligence. When the company Open Ai released its search engine backed by artificial intelligence (AI), it made a big impact with the public. It wasn’t long before the first university student was suspected of cheating by using the tool to write an essay. On Wednesday came the news that the new version GPT-4 had been released. It can process around 25,000 words, compared to the previous version which could process around 3,000 words. Understands images and graphs It can also “see” and understand content in images. For example, you can ask it to explain what is funny about a picture, or what is strange about a picture. You can also take a picture of the contents of your fridge and get recipes for dishes. – Now it will be easier and more efficient to ask the program to interpret difficult documents. Now it can also interpret images and graphs and thus compile entire reports, says Daniel Gillblad at the Chalmers Research Center for Artificial Intelligence. However, the new version is not free. The company wants to take 20 dollars per month from the users, corresponding to approximately 210 Swedish kronor. It can also make things up One of the problems with both the previous version and the new one is that you sometimes get made up answers, says Daniel Gillblad. – If you ask it to describe something that doesn’t exist, it makes something up and sounds pretty confident, but it also sometimes happens when you ask it to describe things that actually exist. The new version is not as resourceful. Despite this, it will be used in a number of professions within just a few years, believes Gillberg. – Similar models are already quite useful in programming and software development. It will definitely become more useful in creative professions, such as writing text, for example.
