OpenAI releases GPT-4, artificial intelligence that can 'see' and do taxes

OpenAI, the San Francisco tech company that grabbed worldwide attention when it released ChatGPT, said Tuesday it was introducing a new version of its artificial intelligence software. Called GPT-4, the software "can solve difficult problems with greater accuracy, thanks to its broader general knowledge and problem solving abilities," OpenAI said in an announcement on its website. In a demonstration video, Greg Brockman, OpenAI's president, showed how the technology could be trained to quickly answer tax-related questions, such as calculating a married couple's standard deduction and total tax liability. "This model is so good at mental math," he said. "It has these broad capabilities that are so flexible."
