**What is ChatGPT-4?**

Let's begin with the name. The Chat section is a chat interface that you can interact with. GPT-4 stands for "generative pretrained transformer 4." This means that it's the fourth iteration OpenAI software. It has analyzed vast amounts of data from the internet to determine how to create text that sounds human-like and provide detailed answers to users' questions.

**What's new with GPT-4?**

GPT-4, a new language model by OpenAI, can produce text similar to human speech. This technology advances ChatGPT's current GPT-3.5 base. GPT stands for Generative Pretrained Transformer. This deep learning technology uses artificial neural networks to create text that looks and feels like a human.

OpenAI claims that the next-generation language model has more capabilities in three areas: creativity and visual input. OpenAI claims that GPT-4 is better at creating and collaborating on creative projects with users. These include screenplays, music, technical writing and even "learning the style" of a user's writer.

This is also affected by the longer context. GPT-4 can now read up to 25,000 words from the user. GPT-4 can be contacted via a link on the web and asked to interact with text on that page. OpenAI claims that this can help with long-form content creation as well as extended conversations.

GPT-4 now has the ability to receive images for interaction. The GPT-4 website shows an example where a chatbot is shown an image of some baking ingredients and asked what it can make. Video can be used in the same manner, although it is not yet known.

**What is ChatGPT-4 different from its predecessor?**

ChatGPT is not for everyone. ChatGPT has been criticised for giving incorrect answers, being biased and for bad behavior. It also circumvents its built-in safeguards to provide answers it isn't supposed to be able give.

Arguments have been made that the bot's knowledge is only as good or as accurate as the information it was taught. OpenAI claims it spent six months improving the software's safety. ChatGPT-4, according to OpenAI, is "40% more likely to provide factual answers" and it claims ChatGPT-3 has been more creative, accurate, collaborative, and collaborative than ChatGPT-3.5.

**It can do so much more**

ChatGPT-4 now has the unique ability to use "multimodal" technology to manage not only text but also pictures. ChatGPT-4 will allow users to upload a picture and text. Another feature is the ability to input video.

**Is Bing Chat using GPT-4?**

Microsoft initially stated that Bing Chat (or the new Bing) was more powerful than ChatGPT. OpenAI's chat uses GPT-3.0, so there was a possibility that Bing Chat might be using GPT-4. Microsoft has now confirmed that Bing Chat uses GPT-4.

However, Bing Chat does not offer visual input so it is not clear which features have been added.

Bing Chat has clearly been upgraded to allow access to current information via the Internet. This is a significant improvement on the current ChatGPT version, which can only draw from 2021's training.

Bing Chat has internet access. The AI model used in Bing Chat is also faster than the Internet. This is an important feature when the AI model is taken out of the lab and integrated into a search engine.

**Limitations**

OpenAI has also discussed the new capabilities of GPT-4 but also noted some limitations to the new language model. OpenAI claims that the new model has similar problems to previous versions of GPT.

OpenAI states that while it is not perfect, these are the issues it is trying to fix.


**ChatGPT-4 is being used by who?**

Morgan Stanley uses it to manage wealth, Stripe Inc. tests it to combat fraud, and Duolingo, a language-learning app, incorporates it to help users practice real-world conversations and explain mistakes.

**A step forward, not a revolution**

GPT-4 in ChatGPT Plus is something we have not yet tried, but it will be even more impressive, based on ChatGPT's success. You may have already tried the new Bing Chat. It's not something new, but it isn't expected to be.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in a StrictlyVC interview that people are "begging to be disappointed" prior to GPT-4's launch.

Altman recognized the potential for AGI (artificial global intelligence) to cause havoc in world economies. He said that it was better to have small, incremental changes than one big breakthrough that leaves little time for the world to adjust to them. GPT-4 is a gradual evolution, not a revolution.
