Aiming to monetize what's become a viral phenomenon, OpenAI today launched a new pilot subscription plan for ChatGPT, its text-generating AI that can write convincingly human-like essays, poems, emails, lyrics and more. Called ChatGPT Plus and starting at $20 per month, the service delivers a number of benefits over the base-level ChatGPT, OpenAI says, including general access to ChatGPT even during peak times, faster response times and priority access to new features and improvements. The free ChatGPT tier is here to stay -- it's not going away. OpenAI says it'll begin the process of inviting people from its waitlist in the coming months and look to expand Plus to additional countries and regions "soon." "We launched ChatGPT as a research preview so we could learn more about the system's strengths and weaknesses and gather user feedback to help us improve upon its limitations," OpenAI wrote in a blog post.

In brief Joshua Browder, CEO of DoNotPay, made headlines for claiming an AI chatbot was due to defend a man in an upcoming court hearing, but has pulled out of the stunt. Browder runs a consumer rights startup that was originally built to help people appeal parking tickets more easily, and has since grown with the aim of building "the world's first robot lawyer." He wanted to show AI could replace expensive human lawyers, using language models to form legal arguments. Earlier this month he claimed to have convinced a man to wear headphones during a court case and recite the output of an AI chatbot in a court hearing scheduled to take place over Zoom. But his behavior caught the attention of prosecutors irked by his reckless antics.

Radio amateur William "VE4VR" Franzin has put a little artificial intelligence on the airwaves by creating a voice assistant powered by OpenAI's controversial ChatGPT -- accessible using a radio capable of Very High Frequency (VHF) transmissions. "In this case we're using a D-STAR digital voice repeater on VHF," Franzin explains of the project, "which will receive my test transmission, which is digital voice, and then that's sent over the internet to a server in a a data center which has a Northwest Digital Radio ThumbDV AMBE transcoder plugged into it. The voice is transcoded to plain digital voice, it's run through a speech-to-text engine, which is then run through ChatGPT and then all the way back, transcoded, and comes back to the radio." OpenAI launched ChatGPT last November, offering a simple webchat-like interface to its text-based generative adversarial network (GAN) technology. Type in a message, and ChatGPT replies -- mimicking understanding but, in reality, simply stringing together the statistically most-likely words you would expect from a response.

In the post-pandemic era, the widespread adoption of remote work has prompted the educational sector to reassess conventional pedagogical methods. This paper is to scrutinize the underlying psychological principles of ChatGPT, delve into the factors that captivate user attention, and implicate its ramifications on the future of learning. The ultimate objective of this study is to instigate a scholarly discourse on the interplay between technological advancements in education and the evolution of human learning patterns, raising the question of whether technology is driving human evolution or vice versa.

The utilization of a word-driven dialogue system offers assistance in cross-domain problem resolution and the generation of content to answer users' inquiries.

OpenAI, which released the viral ChatGPT chatbot last year, unveiled a tool that's intended to help show if text has been authored by an artificial intelligence program and passed off as human. The tool will flag content written by OpenAI's products as well as other AI authoring software. However, the company said "it still has a number of limitations -- so it should be used as a complement to other methods of determining the source of text instead of being the primary decision-making tool." In the Microsoft Corp.-backed company's evaluations, only 26% of AI-written text was correctly identified. It also flagged 9% of human-written text as being composed by AI. The tool, called a classifier, will be available as a web app, along with some resources for teachers, the company said in a statement Tuesday.

It's no secret that ChatGPT, the large language model-powered artificial intelligence from OpenAI, has taken the internet by storm. Everyone is talking about it, everywhere online--Gizmodo included. The AI chatbot can almost instantly generate paragraphs of human-like, fluid text in answer to basically any prompt you can come up with (just don't rely on it to do your math homework correctly, or provide an accurate substitute for researched writing). And the scope of ChatGPT's ascent is probably even more astounding than you think. The chatbot has become the fastest growing consumer-facing application in history, according to a new analysis from Swiss investment bank, UBS, as reported by multiple financial outlets.

ChatGPT, the popular artificial intelligence chatbot, has reached 100 million users just two months after launching, according to analysts. It had about 590m visits in January from 100 million unique visitors, according to analysis by data firm Similarweb. Analysts at investment bank UBS said the rate of growth was unprecedented for a consumer app. "In 20 years following the internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app," UBS analysts wrote in the note, reported by Reuters. By comparison it took TikTok about nine months after its global launch to reach 100 million users and Instagram more than two years, according to data from Sensor Tower, an app analysis firm.

Google is one of the biggest companies on Earth. Google's search engine is the front door to the internet. And according to recent reports, Google is scrambling. Late last year, OpenAI, an artificial intelligence company at the forefront of the field, released ChatGPT. Alongside Elon Musk's Twitter acquisition and fallout from FTX's crypto implosion, breathless chatter about ChatGPT and generative AI has been ubiquitous.

ChatGPT has taken the tech world by storm in just a few short months. The viral success of the chatbot, made by OpenAI, has caused a huge ripple across the tech industry. Venture capitalists are betting big on startups that are getting in on the craze, even as Google moves quickly to address the threat that ChatGPT poses to its core search business. In 2022, investors put at least $1.37 billion into generative AI startups, usually at the seed stage. That's almost as much as what was invested in the market in the previous five years combined, according to PitchBook.

Have you been worried that ChatGPT, the AI language generator, could be used maliciously--to cheat on schoolwork or broadcast disinformation? You're in luck, sort of: OpenAI, the company that made ChatGPT, has introduced a new tool that tries to determine the likelihood that a chunk of text you provide was AI-generated. I say "sort of" because the new software faces the same limitations as ChatGPT itself: It might spread disinformation about the potential for disinformation. As OpenAI explains, the tool will likely yield a lot of false positives and negatives, sometimes with great confidence. In one example, given the first lines of the Book of Genesis, the software concluded that it was likely to be AI-generated.
