\nChatGPT: Everything you need to know about the AI-powered chatbot<\/br>
\n2023-06-29 22:57:14<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

ChatGPT, OpenAI\u2019s text-generating AI chatbot, has taken the world by storm. It\u2019s able to write essays, code and more given short text prompts<\/a>, 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

Timeline of the most recent ChatGPT updates<\/h2>\n

You can join up simply by telling your car \u201cHey Mercedes, I want to join the beta program.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not really clear what for, though.<\/p>\n

OpenAI launches a ChatGPT app for iOS<\/a><\/h3>\n

ChatGPT is officially going mobile. The new ChatGPT app<\/a> will be free to use, free from ads and will allow for voice input, the company says, but will initially be limited to U.S. users at launch.<\/p>\n

When using the mobile version of ChatGPT, the app will sync your history across devices \u2014 meaning it will know what you\u2019ve previously searched for via its web interface, and make that accessible to you. The app is also integrated with\u00a0Whisper<\/a>, OpenAI\u2019s open source speech recognition system, to allow for voice input.<\/p>\n

Hackers are using ChatGPT lures to spread malware on Facebook<\/a><\/h3>\n

Meta said in a report on May 3 that malware posing as ChatGPT was on the rise across its platforms. The company said that since March 2023, its security teams have uncovered 10 malware families using ChatGPT (and similar themes) to deliver malicious software to users\u2019 devices.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn one case, we\u2019ve seen threat actors create malicious browser extensions available in official web stores that claim to offer ChatGPT-based tools,\u201d said Meta security engineers Duc H. Nguyen and Ryan Victory in\u00a0a blog post<\/a>. \u201cThey would then promote these malicious extensions on social media and through sponsored search results to trick people into downloading malware.\u201d<\/p>\n

ChatGPT parent company OpenAI closes $300M share sale at $27B-29B valuation<\/a><\/h3>\n

VC firms including 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

OpenAI previews new subscription tier, ChatGPT Business<\/a><\/h3>\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

April 24, 2023<\/h3>\n

OpenAI wants to trademark \u201cGPT\u201d<\/a><\/h3>\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

April 22, 2023<\/h3>\n

Auto-GPT is Silicon Valley\u2019s latest quest to automate everything\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\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 warns that AI technology like ChatGPT could \u2018turbocharge\u2019 fraud\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\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

Superchat\u2019s new AI chatbot lets you message historical and fictional characters via ChatGPT<\/a><\/h3>\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 gives OpenAI to-do list for lifting ChatGPT suspension order<\/a><\/h3>\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

Researchers discover a way to make ChatGPT consistently toxic<\/a><\/h3>\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

Y Combinator-backed startups are trying to build \u2018ChatGPT for X\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\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
