Let's face it – everyone uses ChatGPT, whether it's for work, school, or personal purposes.
The impact of AI is similar to the change the internet has brought.
Concerns about AI taking jobs or ethical issues connected with its usage are still present, but the benefits it offers are undeniable.
Rather than dismissing its benefits, we should learn how to make use of them.
What's new with GPT-4o?
Just a few weeks ago OpenAI has introduced its newest AI model – GPT-4o.
Comparing to the previous versions its abilities in terms of text, voice and vision has improved.
What does the model provide?
Real-time interactions: GPT-4o can engage in verbal conversations without noticeable delays, closely mimicking human interactions. This makes conversations with the AI feel more natural and fluid, significantly improving the user experience.
Multimodal analysis and generation: the model can process and respond to various types of data, including audio, images, and text. It understands these different mediums and generates coherent responses across them.
Language: with support extended to 50 languages, GPT-4o handles multilingual tasks effortlessly. This broad language capability allows it to interact with users from diverse backgrounds, making it more inclusive and useful globally.
Sentiment analysis: the model can detect and understand user sentiment, capturing the emotional context of interactions. This capability allows it to respond more empathetically and appropriately in the conversations, enhancing its effectiveness in customer service and personal assistant roles.
Voice nuance: GPT-4o can generate speech with subtle emotional nuances, making its spoken responses sound more human-like. This feature is particularly beneficial for applications requiring sensitive communication, such as counseling or customer support.
File uploads: users can upload files for specific data analysis, and GPT-4o will analyse the content to provide relevant insights. This functionality is useful for tasks that require detailed examination of datasets.
Image understanding: users can upload images for analysis, and GPT-4o will interpret the visual content to provide insights and explanations.
Improved safety: GPT-4o delivers more accurate and safer outputs with a reduced risk of generating incorrect or misleading information. Enhanced safety protocols ensure that the model's responses are appropriate and reliable.
Testing some of the functions
Sentiment analysis
ChatGPT can look at images and figure out the emotions they show, like happiness, sadness, anger, or surprise. I attach a random image of a man and that is the output I get:
Document comprehension
ChatGPT can also analyse documents by extracting key information, summarising content and identifying important themes. It useful for tasks such as reviewing reports, legal documents, and research papers. I test it on a simple example – I attach a photo of the restaurant bill and ask how much I should pay:
Answering questions regarding visuals
Finally, ChatGPT is highly skilled at explaining visual content. It can answer questions regarding various types of images. I attach a picture from any wanted movie scene and ask for its source:
Cost and availability
GPT-4o will be free for all ChatGPT users, but with a limit on usage.
ChatGPT Plus users (who pay $20 per month) get five times the usage limit and early access to new features.
Developers can use GPT-4o through an API (for half the price of GPT-4-Turbo).
Conclusions
The introduction of GPT-4o surely marks a significant advancement in AI technology, with its improved capabilities in text, voice, and vision processing.
Features like sentiment analysis and image understanding enhances its utility in different areas like customer service, personal assistance and data analysis.
I am impatiently waiting to see what else AI will offer us in the future.
