Did the AI behind ChatGPT just get smarter?
Did the AI behind ChatGPT just get smarter?

Did the AI behind ChatGPT just get smarter?GPT-4 has been widely awaited ever since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in late November, wowing users with its capabilities that were based on an older version of OpenAI's technology, known as a large language model. (Lionel Bonaventure/AFP/Getty Images)

GPT-4 might sound like gibberish, but it could change what you expect from your apps (not to mention what happens when you try out ChatGPT). If you need a recipe and are low on groceries, you could soon take a picture of your open fridge for the system to “look” at, identify your ingredients, and whip up a recipe for the night. 


That being said, there are limits to what this new AI language model can do. For instance, even though GPT-4 is better at logic than its predecessor, it can still give answers containing false information. 


Tech reporter Drew Harwell breaks down the other ethics issues GPT-4 has raised.
