Well, the rumours were true. GPT-4 has been announced, and it’s just as impressive as we had hoped. We’ve heard of big things for GPT-4 for months, so does the latest and greatest version of OpenAI’s hyped model live up to the hype?
For comparison, here is ChatGPT using GPT-3.5:
And here is ChatGPT using GPT-4:
The first thing you notice is reasoning is 5/5. Speed is 2/5, and conciseness is 4/5. The one thing you see before using GPT-4 is how it’s over half as fast as GPT-3.5. This is most likely due to the increased parameters the model deals with as it processes your inputs.
I was really rooting for Microsoft with its ChatGPT integration into the Bing search engine. You might have seen the hype, including the hilarious controversy around Bing’s ChatGPT threatening journalists and being easily provoked.
After a few weeks of closed access and insurmountable hype, Microsoft has opened the floodgates to many more people, and Bing’s ChatGPT integration is a dismal disappointment.
Perhaps the passive-aggressive and threatening nature of Microsoft’s ChatGPT integration forced their hand. Still, after trying it for a while, it’s clear it isn’t a rival to the original ChatGPT anymore. Despite having access to up-to-date information, it has been dumbed down as it’s obvious Microsoft has cut both legs off to get it under control.
After a lengthy free period of constant downtime and unreliability, ChatGPT has opened up its paid Plus plan to more people and wanting to see what the difference was between Plus and free, I signed up.
For some, USD 20 might be too much to reconcile in this current economic climate. If you use ChatGPT as part of your daily tasks like some do, then $20 might be pretty valuable. If you’re a hobbyist user or just curious, $20 might be a cost you’ll have to weigh against your coffee budget.
The ChatGPT tool is possibly part of your everyday workflow. I’ve been using it for research purposes and as a writing assistant, where it thrives at. However, one of the issues with ChatGPT is that it has a limitation on its response length.
You write in a prompt, and ChatGPT starts generating its response. All of a sudden, it stops. I hope OpenAI one day increases the response limit because, besides the fact, there is a way to fix it, it’s still frustrating.
Valentine’s Day is upon us and this year that heartfelt card you get from your significant other this year might be written using AI. Specifically, ChatGPT which has taken the internet by storm.
In fact, I asked ChatGPT to write a really heartfelt card message and this is what it produced.
My dearest [Wife’s Name],
On this Valentine’s Day, I want to take a moment to express how grateful I am to have you in my life. You are my rock, my support, and my best friend. You have brought so much joy and happiness into my life and I am forever grateful for your love.
The term “googling” is synonymous with searching for things online. For years, Google has enjoyed a monopoly on search, advertising, and other facets of internet life. As Yahoo! fades into the ether and Microsoft’s Bing exists but isn’t used much (who says “binging” or “bing it”?), we are starting to see competition heat up in the search space are decades of Google dominance.
The threat to Google is ironically coming from Microsoft.
