So no, OpenAI didn't launch a competing search engine to take on Google at its May 13, 2024 Spring Update event. Instead, OpenAI introduced GPT-4 Omni (or GPT-4o for short) with conversation capabilities similar to human ones, and it is really impressive.
Beyond making this version of ChatGPT faster and free for more people, GPT-4o expands the way you can interact with it, including the ability to have natural conversations through the mobile or desktop app. Considering it's coming to iPhone, Android, and desktop apps, it could pave the way to becoming the assistant we've all always wanted (or feared).
OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o is more emotional and human
GPT-4o has taken an important step towards understanding human communication in the sense that we can converse almost naturally. It's complete with all the messiness of real-world tendencies, like interrupting, understanding tone, and even realizing you've made a mistake.
During the first live demonstration, the presenter asked for feedback on his breathing technique. He took a deep breath into his phone and ChatGPT responded with the clever quip: “You're not a vacuum cleaner.” She advised a slower technique, demonstrating her ability to understand and respond to human nuances.
So, yes, ChatGPT has a sense of humor but it also changes the tone of the responses, with different inflections while conveying a “thought.” Just like human conversations, you can interrupt the assistant and correct them, making them react or stop talking. You can even ask him to speak in a certain tone, style, or robotic voice. Plus, you can even provide translations.
In a live demo suggested by an You could quickly deliver the Italian to English translation and then seamlessly translate the response from English to Italian.
However, with GPT-4o it's not just about speech understanding; It can also understand images as a written linear equation and then guide you on how to solve it, as well as watch a live selfie and provide a description. It could be what you're wearing or your emotions.
In this demo, GPT said the presenter seemed happy and cheerful. However, he is not without quirks. At one point, ChatGPT said that he saw the image of the equation before it was even written, referring to an earlier image of just a wooden table.
Throughout the demo, ChatGPT worked quickly and had no difficulty understanding the issue or asking about it. GPT-4o is also more natural than typing a query, as you can talk naturally into your phone and get the desired answer, not one that tells you to Google it.
A bit like “Samantha” in “Her”
If you are thinking about His or another futuristic-dystopian movie with AI, you're not the only one. Talking to ChatGPT in such a natural way is essentially the His moment for OpenAI. Considering that it will be rolled out to the mobile app and as a desktop app for free, many people may soon have their own. His moments.
The impressive speech demonstrations and visuals may only be scratching the surface of what's possible. Overall performance and how well GPT-4o performs on a day-to-day basis in various environments remains to be seen, and once it is available, TechRadar will put it to the test. Still, after this look, it's clear that GPT-4o is preparing to take on the best that Google and Apple have to offer in their long-awaited AI revelations.
Perspectives on GPT-4o
However, by announcing this the day before Google I/O begins and just a few weeks after we saw new AI devices appear, like the Rabbit R1, OpenAI is giving us a taste of the truly useful AI experiences we want. . If this supposed partnership with Apple becomes a reality, Siri could be boosted and Google will almost certainly show off its latest AI tricks at I/O on May 14, 2024. But will they be enough?
We wish OpenAI would show a few more live demos with the latest ChatGPT-4o in what turned out to be a jam-packed keynote lasting under 30 minutes. Fortunately, it will be released to users next week and you won't have to pay to try it out.
