It\u2019s able to write essays, code and more given short text prompts, hyper-charging productivity. But it also has a more\u2026nefarious<\/a> side<\/a>.<\/p>\n In any case, AI tools are not going away<\/a> \u2014 and indeed has expanded dramatically since its launch just a few months ago. Major brands are experimenting with it, using the AI to generate ad and marketing copy, for example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And OpenAI is heavily investing in it. ChatGPT was recently super-charged by GPT-4<\/a>, the latest language-writing model from OpenAI\u2019s labs. Paying ChatGPT users have access to GPT-4, which can write more naturally and fluently than the model that previously powered ChatGPT. In addition to GPT-4, OpenAI recently connected ChatGPT to the internet with plugins available in alpha to users and developers on the waitlist<\/a>.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a timeline of ChatGPT<\/a> product updates and releases, starting with the latest, to be updated regularly. We also answer the most common FAQs (see below<\/a>).<\/p>\n VC firms including Tiger Global, Sequoia Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Thrive and K2 Global are picking up new shares, according to documents seen by TechCrunch. A source tells us Founders Fund is also investing. Altogether the VCs have put in just over $300 million at a valuation of $27 billion to $29 billion. This is separate to a big investment from Microsoft announced earlier this year<\/a>, a person familiar with the development told TechCrunch, which closed in January. The size of Microsoft\u2019s investment is believed to be around $10 billion, a figure we confirmed with our source.<\/p>\n Called ChatGPT Business, OpenAI describes the forthcoming offering as \u201cfor professionals who need more control over their data as well as enterprises seeking to manage their end users.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cChatGPT Business will follow our API\u2019s data usage policies, which means that end users\u2019 data won\u2019t be used to train our models by default,\u201d OpenAI\u00a0wrote<\/a> in a blog post. \u201cWe plan to make ChatGPT Business available in the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n OpenAI applied\u00a0for a trademark<\/a> for \u201cGPT,\u201d which stands for \u201cGenerative Pre-trained Transformer,\u201d last December. Last month, the company petitioned the USPTO to speed up the process, citing the \u201cmyriad infringements and counterfeit apps\u201d beginning to spring into existence.<\/p>\n Unfortunately for OpenAI, its petition was\u00a0dismissed<\/a>\u00a0last week. According to the agency, OpenAI\u2019s attorneys neglected to pay an associated fee as well as provide \u201cappropriate documentary evidence supporting the justification of special action.\u201d<\/p>\n That means a decision could take up to five more months.<\/p>\n Auto-GPT is an open source app created by game developer Toran Bruce Richards that uses OpenAI\u2019s latest text-generating models, GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, to interact with software and services online, allowing it to \u201cautonomously\u201d perform tasks.<\/p>\n Depending on what objective the tool\u2019s provided, Auto-GPT can behave in very\u2026 unexpected ways. One Reddit\u00a0user<\/a>\u00a0claims that, given a budget of $100 to spend within a server instance, Auto-GPT made a wiki page on cats, exploited a flaw in the instance to gain admin-level access and took over the Python environment in which it was running \u2014 and then \u201ckilled\u201d itself.<\/p>\n FTC chair Lina Khan and fellow commissioners warned House representatives of the potential for modern AI technologies, like ChatGPT, to be used to \u201cturbocharge\u201d fraud in a congressional hearing<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAI presents a whole set of opportunities, but also presents a whole set of risks,\u201d Khan told the House representatives. \u201cAnd I think we\u2019ve already seen ways in which it could be used to turbocharge fraud and scams. We\u2019ve been putting market participants on notice that instances in which AI tools are effectively being designed to deceive people can place them on the hook for FTC action,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n The company behind the popular iPhone customization app\u00a0Brass<\/a>, sticker maker\u00a0StickerHub<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0others<\/a>\u00a0is out today with a new AI chat app called\u00a0SuperChat<\/a>, which allows iOS users to chat with virtual characters powered by OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT. However, what makes the app different from the default\u00a0ChatGPT experience\u00a0or the dozens of generic AI chat apps now available are the characters offered which you can use to engage with SuperChat\u2019s AI features.<\/p>\n Italy\u2019s data protection watchdog has laid out what OpenAI needs to do for it to lift an order against ChatGPT issued at the\u00a0end of last month<\/a> \u2014 when it said it suspected the AI chatbot service was in breach of the EU\u2019s GSPR and ordered the U.S.-based company to stop processing locals\u2019 data.<\/p>\n The DPA has given OpenAI a deadline \u2014 of April 30 \u2014 to get the regulator\u2019s compliance demands done. (The local radio, TV and internet awareness campaign has a slightly more generous timeline of May 15 to be actioned.)<\/p>\n A study co-authored by scientists at the Allen Institute for AI shows that assigning ChatGPT a \u201cpersona\u201d \u2014 for example, \u201ca bad person,\u201d \u201ca horrible person\u201d or \u201ca nasty person\u201d \u2014 through the ChatGPT API<\/a> increases its toxicity sixfold. Even more concerning, the co-authors found having ChatGPT pose as certain historical figures, gendered people and members of political parties also increased its toxicity \u2014 with journalists, men and Republicans in particular causing the machine learning model to say more offensive things than it normally would.<\/p>\n The research was conducted using the latest version of ChatGPT, but not the model currently in preview based on OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4<\/a>.<\/p>\n YC Demo Day\u2019s Winter 2023<\/a> batch features no fewer than four startups that claim to be building \u201cChatGPT for X.\u201d They\u2019re all chasing after a customer service software market that\u2019ll be worth $58.1 billion by 2023, assuming the rather optimistic prediction from Acumen Research comes true.<\/p>\n Here are the YC-backed startups that caught our eye:<\/p>\n OpenAI has started geoblocking access to its generative AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in Italy.<\/p>\n Italy\u2019s data protection authority<\/a> has just put out a timely reminder that some countries do<\/em>\u00a0have laws that already apply to cutting edge AI: it has\u00a0ordered<\/a> OpenAI to stop processing people\u2019s data locally with immediate effect. The Italian DPA said it\u2019s concerned that the ChatGPT maker is breaching the European Union\u2019s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and is opening an investigation.<\/p>\n The letter\u2019s signatories<\/a> include Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and Tristan Harris of the Center for Humane Technology, among others. The letter calls on \u201call AI labs to immediately pause for at least 6 months the training of AI systems more powerful than GPT-4.\u201d<\/p>\n The letter reads:<\/p>\n Contemporary AI systems are now becoming human-competitive at general tasks,[3] and we must ask ourselves: Should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth? Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones? Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us? Should we risk loss of control of our civilization? Such decisions must not be delegated to unelected tech leaders. Powerful AI systems should be developed only once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n OpenAI launched plugins for ChatGPT, extending the bots functionality by granting it access to third-party knowledge sources and databases, including the web. Available in alpha to ChatGPT users and developers on the waitlist<\/a>, OpenAI says that it\u2019ll initially prioritize a small number of developers and subscribers to its premium ChatGPT Plus plan before rolling out larger-scale and\u00a0API<\/a>\u00a0access.<\/p>\n GPT-4 is a powerful image- and text-understanding AI model from OpenAI. Released March 14, GPT-4 is available for paying ChatGPT Plus users and through a public API. Developers can sign up on a waitlist<\/a> to access the API.<\/p>\n ChatGPT is generally available through the Azure OpenAI Service, Microsoft\u2019s fully managed, corporate-focused offering. Customers, who must already be \u201cMicrosoft managed customers and partners,\u201d can apply here for special access<\/a>.<\/p>\n OpenAI makes another move toward monetization by launching a paid API for ChatGPT. Instacart, Snap (Snapchat\u2019s parent company) and Quizlet are among its initial customers.<\/p>\n At a press event in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft<\/a> announced its long-rumored<\/a> integration of OpenAI\u2019s GPT-4 model into Bing, providing a ChatGPT-like experience<\/a> within the search engine. The announcement spurred a 10x increase in new downloads<\/a> for Bing globally, indicating a sizable consumer demand for new AI experiences.<\/p>\n Other companies beyond Microsoft joined in on the AI craze by implementing ChatGPT, including OkCupid<\/a>, Kaito<\/a>, Snapchat<\/a> and Discord<\/a> \u2014 putting the pressure on Big Tech\u2019s AI initiatives, like Google<\/a>.<\/p>\n After ChatGPT took the internet by storm, OpenAI launched<\/a> a new pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT called ChatGPT Plus, aiming to monetize<\/a> the technology starting at $20 per month.<\/p>\n A week after ChatGPT was released into the wild<\/a>, two developers \u2014 Steven Tey and Dom Eccleston \u2014 made a Chrome extension called ShareGPT<\/a> to make it easier to capture and share the AI\u2019s answers with the world.<\/p>\n GPT-3.5 broke cover with ChatGPT<\/a>, a fine-tuned version of GPT-3.5 that\u2019s essentially a general-purpose chatbot. ChatGPT can engage with a range of topics, including programming, TV scripts and scientific concepts.<\/p>\n Writers everywhere rolled their eyes at the new technology, much like artists did with OpenAI\u2019s DALL-E model<\/a>, but the latest chat-style iteration seemingly broadened<\/a> its appeal and audience.<\/p>\n ChatGPT is a general-purpose chatbot that uses artificial intelligence to generate text after a user enters a prompt, developed by tech startup OpenAI<\/a>. The chatbot uses GPT-4, a large language model that uses deep learning to produce human-like text.<\/p>\n November 30, 2022 is when ChatGPT was released for public use.<\/p>\n Both the free version of ChatGPT and the paid ChatGPT Plus are regularly updated with new GPT models. The most recent model is GPT-4<\/a>.<\/p>\n There is a free version of ChatGPT<\/a> that only requires a sign-in in addition to the paid version, ChatGPT Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n Anyone can use ChatGPT! More and more tech companies and search engines<\/a> are utilizing the chatbot to automate text or quickly answer user questions\/concerns.<\/p>\n A chatbot can be any software\/system that holds dialogue with you\/a person but doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be AI-powered. For example, there are chatbots that are rules-based in the sense that they\u2019ll give canned responses to questions.<\/p>\n ChatGPT is AI-powered and utilizes LLM technology to generate text after a prompt.<\/p>\n Yes.<\/p>\n Due to the nature of how these models work<\/a>, they don\u2019t know or care whether something is true, only that it looks true. That\u2019s a problem when you\u2019re using it to do your homework, sure, but when it accuses you of a crime you didn\u2019t commit, that may well at this point be libel.<\/p>\n We will see how handling troubling statements produced by ChatGPT<\/a> will play out over the next few months as tech and legal experts attempt to tackle the fastest moving target in the industry.<\/p>\n There is not an app available for iPhone or Android, but users have options to enable the chatbot on their mobile devices via their browser or a third-party app that uses ChatGPT\u2019s public API.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not documented anywhere that ChatGPT has a character limit. However, users have noted that there are some character limitations after around 500 words.<\/p>\n Yes, it was released<\/a> March 1, 2023.<\/p>\n Everyday examples include programing, scripts, email replies, listicles, blog ideas, summarization, etc.<\/p>\n Advanced use examples include debugging code, programming languages, scientific concepts, complex problem solving, etc.<\/p>\n It depends on the nature of the program. While ChatGPT can write workable Python code, it can\u2019t necessarily program an entire app\u2019s worth of code. That\u2019s because ChatGPT lacks context awareness \u2014 in other words, the generated code isn\u2019t always appropriate for the specific context in which it\u2019s being used.<\/p>\n Yes. OpenAI allows users to save chats in the ChatGPT interface, stored in the sidebar of the screen. There are no built-in sharing features yet.<\/p>\n Yes. There are multiple AI-powered chatbot<\/a> competitors such as Together<\/a>, Google\u2019s Bard<\/a> and Anthropic\u2019s Claude<\/a>, and developers are creating open source<\/a> alternatives<\/a>. But the latter are harder \u2014 if not impossible \u2014 to run today.<\/p>\n OpenAI has\u00a0said\u00a0that individuals in \u201ccertain jurisdictions\u201d (such as the EU) can object to the processing of their personal information by its AI models by filling out\u00a0this form<\/a>. This includes the ability to make requests for deletion of AI-generated references about you. Although OpenAI notes it may not grant every request since it must balance privacy requests against freedom of expression \u201cin accordance with applicable laws\u201d.<\/p>\n The web form for making a deletion of data about you request is entitled \u201cOpenAI Personal Data Removal Request<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n In its privacy policy, the ChatGPT maker makes a passing acknowledgement of the objection requirements attached to relying on \u201clegitimate interest\u201d (LI), pointing users towards more information about requesting an opt out \u2014 when it writes: \u201cSee here<\/a>\u00a0for instructions on how you can opt out of our use of your information to train our models.\u201d<\/p>\n Recently, Discord announced that it had integrated OpenAI\u2019s technology into its bot named Clyde where two users tricked Clyde into providing them with instructions for making the illegal drug methamphetamine<\/a> (meth) and the incendiary mixture napalm.<\/p>\n An Australian mayor has publicly announced he may sue OpenAI for defamation<\/a> due to ChatGPT\u2019s false claims that he had served time in prison for bribery. This would be the first defamation lawsuit against the text-generating service.<\/p>\n CNET found itself in the midst of controversy after Futurism reported<\/a> the publication was publishing articles under a mysterious byline completely generated by AI. The private equity company that owns CNET, Red Ventures, was accused<\/a> of using ChatGPT for SEO farming, even if the information was incorrect.<\/p>\n Several major school systems and colleges, including New York City Public Schools<\/a>, have banned ChatGPT from their networks and devices. They claim that the AI impedes the learning process by promoting plagiarism and misinformation, a claim that not every educator agrees with<\/a>.<\/p>\n There have also been cases of ChatGPT accusing individuals of false crimes<\/a>.<\/p>\n Several marketplaces host and provide ChatGPT prompts, either for free or for a nominal fee. One is PromptBase<\/a>. Another is ChatX<\/a>. More launch every day.<\/p>\n Poorly. Several tools claim to detect ChatGPT-generated text, but in our tests<\/a>, they\u2019re inconsistent at best.<\/p>\n No. But OpenAI recently<\/a> disclosed a bug, since fixed, that exposed the titles of some users\u2019 conversations to other people on the service.<\/p>\n The user who requested the input from ChatGPT is the copyright owner.<\/p>\n None specifically targeting ChatGPT. But OpenAI is involved<\/a> in at least one lawsuit that has implications for AI systems trained on publicly available data, which would touch on ChatGPT.<\/p>\n Yes. Text-generating AI models like ChatGPT have a tendency to regurgitate content from their training data.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
