What the New GPT-4 AI Can Do - Scientific American

Tech research company OpenAI has just released an updated version of its text-generating artificial intelligence program, called GPT-4, and demonstrated some of the language model's new abilities. Not only can GPT-4 produce more natural-sounding text and solve problems more accurately than its predecessor. It can also process images in addition to text. But the AI is still vulnerable to some of the same problems that plagued earlier GPT models: displaying bias, overstepping the guardrails intended to prevent it from saying offensive or dangerous things and "hallucinating," or confidently making up falsehoods not found in its training data. On Twitter, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described the model as the company's "most capable and aligned" to date.
