Mint Mumbai|March 16, 2023

Will GPT-4 Make Machines Think Like Humans?

1 Why's everyone excited about GPT-4?

It's the most advanced language model for artificial intelligence (AI). Geoffrey Hinton, the godfather of deep learning, tweeted, "Caterpillars extract nutrients which are then converted into butterflies. People have extracted billions of nuggets of understanding and GPT-4 is humanity's butterfly." GPT-4 can handle both text and images, unlike GPT-3 (text only). It also scores over ChatGPT. "GPT-4 can apply to Stanford as a student now. AI's reasoning ability is OFF THE CHARTS...." said Jim Fan, an AI scientist at Nvidia. For now, though, only ChatGPT Plus subscribers have GPT-4 access.

2 How does it score over earlier versions?
