The Evolution of ChatGPT: From Text to Multimodal Interaction
OpenAI’s recent release of ChatGPT 4.0 has sent shockwaves through the tech world, marking a significant step forward in artificial intelligence. This iteration of the wildly popular language model boasts advanced capabilities, expanding beyond simply responding to text prompts to include the ability to process video and audio input. This development has opened up a new world of possibilities for both businesses and individuals, suggesting a future where AI plays a much more human-like, interactive role in our lives.
“It’s taken Dolly and ChatGPT 4.0 and improved the product, plus added a bunch of other features,” said Jen Brown, a neuroscientist and AI expert who specializes in the real-world applications of AI. “What’s amazing about this release is that all of a sudden it’s multimodal – you can input a bunch of different types of media, it’s not just text.”
Brown emphasized the transformative potential of this new modality. “I think the interaction piece is really interesting,” she added. “When you think about what this is useful for, the first thing I thought about was interviews, like salary negotiations, or like interviews for jobs. You can have someone, someone to work with constantly that’s pulling the latest information from the web and have those interactions and prepare yourself in a verbal way.”
Brown highlighted the power of this technology to bridge the gap for those who struggle with interviewing, a common experience for many. “I think there’s a lot of advantage in the interview process for people who are more naturally inclined to that environment versus those who aren’t,” she said. “And I think if you can leverage technology like this to make yourself more comfortable, it pays dividends.”
From Training to Real-Time Coaching
Brown, who has a background in both neuroscience and professional ice hockey, emphasized the potential of ChatGPT 4.0 to transform all aspects of learning and training – a topic she and her business partner, Samir, have actively explored through their real estate AI-focused courses on Udemy.
“Training is huge,” Brown said. “If we want to really drill down to, and I say this coming from medical sciences, how we interact with patients in a variety of respects, patients often aren’t heard in the right way and feel like the medical system doesn’t necessarily take what they are saying into consideration. But when we talk about research, how we ask questions is really important in terms of the data that we get back, which we ultimately feed into the algorithm. Could you use, you know, obviously, when you’re training people to conduct research, can you start training them on how to be a better question asker and how to interact with subjects better? … There are all these phases that these algorithms can impact.”
Brown also explored how ChatGPT 4.0 can be integrated into sales and client relations training, providing real-time feedback on interaction and communication. “If you start thinking about how you talk to clients, how you train your employees on how to speak with clients, and be prepared for different scenarios, you can basically tell the AI, ‘Hey, here’s the following scenario: I want you to be the disappointed client who has a problem that we need to solve, and the client is in distress, so please play this out.’”
Privacy Concerns and a New Level of Integration
While excited about the potential of ChatGPT 4.0, Brown also highlighted the concerning level of data integration required for the AI to function. “I think one of the things with more power, I think, comes more privacy problems,” she said. “If you’re filming yourself, and this is not an option, I don’t think this feature is available yet for the new … for four, for 40, but you can film yourself, and it can interact with you. You can, I think, currently upload video that it provides text output for, but there was definitely like an example where you shoulder zoom and everything, and it tells you what it sees, and you know it can, like, tells you your opinions and all of that, and the latency was so low. … It’s really just like no delay.”
Brown cautioned against unquestioningly uploading personal information or sensitive data to the AI. “Don’t give it all of your information,” she said. “Honestly, that’s a great way to start your day, I think, that’s one of the … in this busyness of life, like you have your own personal motivational coach that’s personalized.”
Looking Forward: The Business of AI
Samir, who has a background in business and marketing, presented a compelling case for the use of AI within organizations, emphasizing its potential to propel business forward. “You can close more deals with AI,” he said. “You can be more productive, you can increase your revenue, you can increase your sales by, by basically arming your employees with AI tools. You can improve your business, because now the productivity will be … 2x, 3x, 5x … This is really helping you with making as many deals as possible, closing them as fast as possible, increasing your sales volume.”
Samir highlighted the importance of considering AI as a core business tool, rather than a mere novelty. “It’s not just a toy,” he said. “It’s a tool for you. Like, for example, you’re using Microsoft Word or Google Cloud … Google Docs, or anything like that, that’s exactly the same thing that will help you with your processes.”
The video concluded with a call to action for businesses to embrace the world of AI and AI-driven automation, with a clear emphasis on the potential for both increased efficiency and innovation.
Conclusion and Summary
ChatGPT 4.0 marks a significant milestone in the world of AI, moving beyond traditional chatbots to embrace a multimodal approach that allows users to interact with the AI through the input of video and audio files. In addition to its ability to process more complex information, ChatGPT 4.0 also offers real-time training and coaching opportunities, bringing the potential to revolutionize how we learn, work, and interact with technology. Experts remain mindful of the data privacy concerns inherent in this new technology, urging users to use caution when sharing personal information. As ChatGPT 4.0 continues to evolve, its ability to personalize and enhance both individual and business processes will likely shape the future of AI and human interactions with technology.
