OpenAI, the tech firm behind the hugely popular ChatGPT app, has released a new software update for it that makes it much smarter than its younger sibling.
The latest iteration, GPT-4, is a more “intelligent” and powerful version of the technology behind the viral chatbot, making it able to ace tests such as the U.S. legal system’s bar exam.
The improved AI can also now analyse the contents of photographs and write about them – such as looking at an image of an open fridge and then describing recipes that can be made from its contents.
GPT-4 is currently locked behind OpenAI’s “ChatGPT Plus” $20-a-month subscription service, but Microsoft recently revealed the update has been powering Bing’s chatbot for the last six weeks.
