"GPT-4 is a large multimodal model (accepting image and text inputs, emitting text outputs)"
Don't know what that means? Confused? It's this:
STILL not convinced?
Shocked? Yeah. PaLM-E did something similar but that's still in research.
It also understands memes.
It understands well, anything.
So far just jokes and games right? How is this useful to you? Take a look at this.
Look I don't know about you but ten years ago this kind of stuff was supposed to be just science fiction.
Not impressed? Maybe you need to SEE the impact? Don't worry, I got you.
Remember Khan Academy? Here's a question from it.
Here's the AI they've got acting as a tutor to help you, powered by GPT-4.
It gets better.
EDIT: What about learning languages?
Duolingo Max is Duolingo's new AI powered by GPT-4.
Now you get it?
Still skeptical? Ok, one last one.
This guy (OpenAI president) wrote his ideas for a website on a piece of paper with terrible handwriting.
Gave it to GPT-4.
It made the code for the site.
Ok so what does this all mean? Potentially?
- Read an entire textbook, and turn it into a funny comic book series to help learning.
- Analyze all memes on Earth, and give you the best ones.
- Build a proto-AGI; make a robot that interacts with the real world.
Oh, and it's a lot smarter than ChatGPT.
Ok. Here's the best part.
>"gpt-4 has a context length of 8,192 tokens. We are also providing limited access to our 32,768–context (about 50 pages of text) version, gpt-4-32k..."
What does that mean? It means it can "remember" the conversation for much longer.
So how big is this news? How surprised should you be?
Imagine you time traveled and explained the modern internet to people when the internet just came out.
What does this mean for the future?
Most likely a GPT 4.5 or GPT 5 will be released this year. Or Google releases PaLM-E, the only thing as far as I know that rivals this but that's all locked up in research atm.
Wil AGI come in 2023?
Probably. It won't be what you expect.
"Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any intellectual task that human beings or other animals can" (wikipedia).
What if it's not perfect? What if it can almost be as good as humans but not quite? Is that really not AGI? Are we comparing to human experts or humans in general?
If all the key players get their shit together and really focus on this, we could have AGI by the end of 2023. If not, probably no later than 2024.
If you're skeptical, remember there's a bunch of other key players in this. And ChatGPT was released just 3 months ago.
