You'd have to have been living under the proverbial rock over the last 60 days, not to have heard about ChatGPT, a variant of the GPT (generative pre-training transformer) language model designed to generate human-like text in a conversational context. The technology has received massive attention, with predictions that it will do everything from "reshape humanity" to the old chestnuts of taking over human jobs and/or hijacking democracy. But does ChatGPT deserve all this praise? First, ChatGPT is only as good as what it's been trained on, so it may not be able to generate responses to prompts or situations that are not reflected in its training data. ChatGPT's algorithms haven't been trained on any data after 2021, so if you ask it to write something about current news events, it comes up empty.

You'd think that collaborative chatting programs like Slack or Teams wouldn't need too many bells and whistles in order to be effective tools. Microsoft would beg to differ. The new Teams Premium tier not only includes the usual unlimited messages and better organizational tools, it's adding exclusive powers enabled by OpenAI's GPT 3.5 language model. The new tier will be $10 per month per user starting on June 30th, but you can get a cheaper preview for $7 until then. What does the fancy AI do?

Fresh off the heels of news that Microsoft is making a multibillion-dollar investment into OpenAI, it's integrating the company's tech into more of its products and services. Microsoft has announced that Teams Premium is now broadly available. The service features large language models powered by OpenAI's GPT-3.5, along with other tech geared toward making meetings "more intelligent, personalized and protected," Microsoft says. Teams Premium offers AI-generated chapters in PowerPoint Live and "personalized timeline markers for when you leave and join a meeting." Live translations in captions are currently available too.

That was quick: Artificial intelligence has gone from science fiction to novelty to Thing We Are Sure Is the Future. One easy way to measure the change is via headlines -- like the ones announcing Microsoft's $10 billion investment in OpenAI, the company behind the dazzling ChatGPT text generator, followed by other AI startups looking for big money. Or the ones about school districts frantically trying to cope with students using ChatGPT to write their term papers. Or the ones about digital publishers like CNET and BuzzFeed admitting or bragging that they're using AI to make some of their content -- and investors rewarding them for it. "Up until very recently, these were science experiments nobody cared about," says Mathew Dryhurst, co-founder of the AI startup Spawning.ai.

The team behind the viral artificial intelligence ChatGPT has created a tool that checks if text was written by a human or an AI. It was only recently that OpenAI, the creators behind ChatGPT, talked about how popular their artificial intelligence has gotten since its release. Officials at the company explained that they had no idea that ChatGPT was going to be so popular and that the response they saw from the internet was "definitely surprising". Through ChatGPT's massive popularity, some problems have occurred, such as students using the AI to generate essays and other written work. Since ChatGPT can produce text responses at a very impressive level, educators are having trouble determining if the students' work was written by them or an AI.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, announced on Wednesday it is piloting a $20 monthly subscription plan that offers users priority access to the AI chatbot even during peak times. The paid plan, called ChatGPT Plus, comes two months after the tool was released publicly and quickly went viral, thanks to its ability to generate shockingly convincing essays in response to user prompts. Many people who wanted to test the tool have been locked out or joined the waitlist. Now, anyone who signs up for a subscription will benefit from faster response times, and priority access to new features and improvements. The tool will remain free for the general public, however.

INan unremarkable conference room inside OpenAI's office, insulated from the mid-January rain pelting San Francisco, company president Greg Brockman surveys the "energy levels" of the team overseeing the company's new artificial intelligence model, ChatGPT. "How are we doing between'everything's on fire and everyone's burned out' to'everyone's just back from the holidays and everything's good'? What's the spectrum?" he asks. "I would say the holidays came at just the right time," replies one lieutenant. Within five days of ChatGPT's November launch, 1 million users overloaded its servers with trivia questions, poetry prompts and recipe requests. Open-AI quietly routed some of the load to its training supercomputer, thousands of interconnected graphics processing units (GPUs) custom-built with allies Microsoft and Nvidia, while long-term work on its next models, like the highly anticipated GPT-4, took a back seat. As the group huddles, ChatGPT's at-capacity servers still turn away users.

ChatGPT has captured the public imagination in a way the tech world hasn't seen since the debut of the iPhone in 2007. Why it matters: Most of us are only now getting a glimpse of just how smart artificial intelligence has become. What it is: ChatGPT is a free (for now) site that lets users pose questions and give directions to a bot that can answer with conversation, term papers, sonnets, recipes -- almost anything. In almost any style you specify. The big picture: The possibilities for ChatGPT seem endless.

OpenAI, the leading artificial intelligence company, has recently announced a new product called "ChatGPT Plus". This new offering aims to revolutionize the way people interact with AI technology by providing a more intuitive and conversational interface. The company has stated that ChatGPT-Plus will be available starting at $20, making it accessible to a wider range of consumers and businesses. ChatGPT-Plus is a cutting-edge language model that has been developed by OpenAI using the latest in deep learning and natural language processing techniques. The model is designed to understand and respond to natural language queries, just like a human would.
