The New ChatGPT Offers a Lesson in AI Hype

From New York Times: 2024-05-31 05:07:33

OpenAI’s ChatGPT chatbot has unveiled a new version with a humanlike voice that can tutor children in solving geometry problems. However, many of the promised features, including the improved voice and real-time video analysis, have been postponed or not yet available. The chatbot is currently only able to analyze uploaded photos and offer quicker responses.

The tech industry trend of releasing premature A.I. products continues with ChatGPT-4o. While the bot shows improvement in language translations, it struggles with math and physics problems, not demonstrating a significant advancement from the previous version. Consumers are advised to approach A.I. products cautiously and wait until they are proven to work as advertised.

ChatGPT-4o is now free to try on OpenAI’s platform for users to test its features, such as language translation and real-time analysis of geometry problems. While the chatbot still faces challenges in reasoning and logical problem-solving, OpenAI is constantly working on improving its responses to complex math problems and enhancing language translation capabilities. Users can take advantage of the free trial to see if the technology meets their expectations and needs.
