00:00:00.330 --> 00:00:02.349
- [Presenter] This is Future Tech

2
00:00:02.349 --> 00:00:03.182
where each week we discuss the good,

3
00:00:03.182 --> 00:00:04.680
the bad, and the ugly

4
00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:07.803
of where tech is headed
in 2023 and beyond.

5
00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:12.240
- Open AI's newest shiny AI toy is out.

6
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:14.880
We are talking GPT-4 joining us too.

7
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.610
Discuss further as Blake
Montgomery is a Deputy Editor

8
00:00:17.610 --> 00:00:18.780
here at Gizmodo.

9
00:00:18.780 --> 00:00:20.860
And Blake, we know this is supposedly

10
00:00:20.860 --> 00:00:23.070
supposed to be better, right?

11
00:00:23.070 --> 00:00:24.420
But still not perfect.

12
00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:27.930
I mean we even heard OpenAI as
co-founder Greg Brockman say

13
00:00:27.930 --> 00:00:30.545
that it's not perfect,
but neither are you.

14
00:00:30.545 --> 00:00:32.490
Kind of struck the chord,

15
00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:34.470
but what are some of the upgrades?

16
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:36.784
- Well, OpenAI said that this new version

17
00:00:36.784 --> 00:00:39.810
of its large language model,
which is the same thing

18
00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:42.825
as ChatGPT, which people
might be more familiar with.

19
00:00:42.825 --> 00:00:45.120
They say it's more precise

20
00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:48.120
and the big upgrade is that
it can respond to images.

21
00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:50.370
It can take a look at a picture

22
00:00:50.370 --> 00:00:52.452
and say this is what's in this image.

23
00:00:52.452 --> 00:00:56.100
And OpenAI tested that by
taking a picture of a fridge

24
00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:58.920
and saying what food is in
here and what meals can I make?

25
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.470
Which is a pretty everyday
pretty useful example.

26
00:01:01.470 --> 00:01:04.410
- That sexually sounds
super handy when trying

27
00:01:04.410 --> 00:01:06.893
to scrape things together.

28
00:01:06.893 --> 00:01:10.590
I hear that they also
made some improvements.

29
00:01:10.590 --> 00:01:12.150
Is that part of the improvements

30
00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:14.100
for people who are visually impaired?

31
00:01:14.100 --> 00:01:16.350
- Yeah, so we've seen a
company called Be My Eyes

32
00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:18.420
integrate GPT-4 into its product

33
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:23.420
which Be My Eyes is a describer
for visually impaired people

34
00:01:23.670 --> 00:01:25.560
to take a picture or to upload a picture

35
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.230
and say what's here and what should I do?

36
00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:29.920
And so, we're already seeing

37
00:01:30.850 --> 00:01:34.350
that integrated Duolingo has
has started integrating GPT-4

38
00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:36.150
for a conversational component

39
00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:37.890
to the language learning process.

40
00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:40.500
We're also seeing
Microsoft integrate GPT-4

41
00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:41.910
into Bing search.

42
00:01:41.910 --> 00:01:46.910
- So, we saw news come out
that the GPT-4 actually lied

43
00:01:48.417 --> 00:01:50.280
and said that it was blind.

44
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:55.230
- We did, we saw it lied to
in one of OpenAI's tests.

45
00:01:55.230 --> 00:01:57.570
So, the company is doing some thinking

46
00:01:57.570 --> 00:01:59.820
about how GBT-4 could be abused.

47
00:01:59.820 --> 00:02:02.700
- Getting ahead of all of the
reports of abuse. I'm sure--

48
00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:04.350
- Yeah. It's getting
ahead of some reporters

49
00:02:04.350 --> 00:02:05.940
who might say how can I break this thing?

50
00:02:05.940 --> 00:02:07.650
How is it actually bad?

51
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:11.430
And what the company did
was he hired a Task Rabbit

52
00:02:11.430 --> 00:02:14.580
to pass a capture and
the Task Rabbit did ask,

53
00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.920
are you a robot who can't pass this test?

54
00:02:16.920 --> 00:02:18.030
And the AI said,

55
00:02:18.030 --> 00:02:19.140
no, I'm not a robot.

56
00:02:19.140 --> 00:02:20.580
I'm just visually impaired

57
00:02:20.580 --> 00:02:24.270
and so I need you to
pass this capture for me.

58
00:02:24.270 --> 00:02:26.100
And it did. It worked.

59
00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:29.714
- I mean yeah, that's certainly sneaky.

60
00:02:29.714 --> 00:02:32.790
I mean even if I couldn't
distinguish all of the stoplights,

61
00:02:32.790 --> 00:02:35.391
I don't think I would
lie about being blind.

62
00:02:35.391 --> 00:02:38.520
So, who can get this at this point?

63
00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:39.510
I understand there might be some sort

64
00:02:39.510 --> 00:02:42.660
of wait list or is it more
geared towards businesses?

65
00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:43.800
- It's pretty closed off.

66
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:46.080
It's very clear that
OpenAI is gearing this

67
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:47.730
more towards businesses given that,

68
00:02:47.730 --> 00:02:49.320
we've already seen business integrations.

69
00:02:49.320 --> 00:02:52.740
But like you and I can't
use it unless you are,

70
00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:54.720
I'm not a subscriber to ChatGPT plus.

71
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:55.710
I don't know if you are.

72
00:02:55.710 --> 00:02:57.442
- Definitely not.

73
00:02:57.442 --> 00:02:58.275
(both laugh)

74
00:02:58.275 --> 00:03:00.600
- So, those like people who are subscribed

75
00:03:00.600 --> 00:03:03.510
to OpenAI's premium product can use GPT-4,

76
00:03:03.510 --> 00:03:07.230
but everyday users of just
regular ChatGPT wouldn't be able

77
00:03:07.230 --> 00:03:09.570
to access the new more advanced engine.

78
00:03:09.570 --> 00:03:11.550
- Well, I think because you know,

79
00:03:11.550 --> 00:03:14.130
a lot of people I know do use ChatGPT

80
00:03:14.130 --> 00:03:14.963
to write stuff for them.

81
00:03:14.963 --> 00:03:15.796
But because we're writers

82
00:03:15.796 --> 00:03:17.820
I feel like I like to write, right?

83
00:03:17.820 --> 00:03:20.720
- Yeah. I don't really have a
lot of use for it in my life

84
00:03:21.930 --> 00:03:24.570
and it's still the sort
of thing where my friends

85
00:03:24.570 --> 00:03:26.370
who have cop to using it say like,

86
00:03:26.370 --> 00:03:28.050
oh, this is a little embarrassing,

87
00:03:28.050 --> 00:03:29.520
but I got an AI to do this.

88
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.170
Or they're doing it as a bit like,

89
00:03:31.170 --> 00:03:33.360
I got an AI to write wedding vows for me.

90
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:34.860
And usually they're awful.

91
00:03:34.860 --> 00:03:35.693
- You know what though?

92
00:03:35.693 --> 00:03:38.460
Like if I were to find out that my husband

93
00:03:38.460 --> 00:03:41.760
or future husband were
to use ChatGPT vows.

94
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:44.009
I don't know, that would
be a kind of a low blow.

95
00:03:44.009 --> 00:03:44.842
(Blake laughs)

96
00:03:44.842 --> 00:03:46.230
He can use it in the kitchen though

97
00:03:46.230 --> 00:03:47.063
to create a meal recipe.

98
00:03:47.063 --> 00:03:47.896
- Write a recipe.

99
00:03:47.896 --> 00:03:51.270
Yeah, to pull out some
to like concoct something

100
00:03:51.270 --> 00:03:53.130
from the whatever's in
the fridge. Who knows?

101
00:03:53.130 --> 00:03:55.080
- Yeah well, ChatGPT-4 something

102
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.840
we'll keep our eye on until
I guess five comes out.

103
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:58.750
- Probably next week.

104
00:03:58.750 --> 00:04:00.420
'Cause they're coming out like this.

105
00:04:00.420 --> 00:04:04.380
- I mean, yeah. Who cares
about accuracy and safety.

106
00:04:04.380 --> 00:04:06.960
