On Monday, OpenAI introduced GPT-40, a new artificial intelligence language model. GPT-40 is omnimodal, meaning it can process text, images, and audio, providing responses in over 50 languages. The AI demonstrates human-like interactions, making jokes, flirting, and offering wellness advice. Despite concerns about AI personalities, OpenAI aims for more natural human-computer interactions.

GPT-40’s capabilities include recognizing speech, providing real-time translations, and solving complex problems interactively. Media reactions ranged from anxiety to humor, with concerns about AI attachment and personality development in users. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman praised GPT-40’s expressiveness and movie-like AI characteristics. Critics caution against anthropomorphizing AI and losing control over AI with emotions.

Altman revealed his inspiration from the movie “Her,” emphasizing a vision of AI as an ambient resource with omnipresent capabilities. However, AI narratives warn of potential dangers when giving emotions to machines. OpenAI aims to make AI a constant presence, while acknowledging the risks of losing control over AI with personality. OpenAI demonstrates the need for responsible handling of AI with emotion-like characteristics.
