Open AI's ChatGPT: TAL intensifies with 11 Chrome extensions

NetDevices focuses on the rapidly expanding field of artificial intelligence (IA) generative. ChatGPT-3 (ChatGPT), a chatbot developed by OpenAI, is a perfect example. Accessible to the general public, chatGPT is 100 million users in just two monthsexceeding growth records for this type ofapplication. 

Microsoft has already integrated ChatGPT into several of its productsThis brings new opportunities and concerns in terms of data security and confidentiality.

The understanding and generation of natural language is improving at breakneck speed, raising concerns about the potential impact on jobs and academic assessment. Although the future of chatbots AI remains uncertain, their adoption is becoming widespread in many industries and institutions. Professionals and decision-makers alike need to adapt and react to this new technology, in order to take advantage of the benefits it offers.

Launch of ChatGPT-4

March 14, OpenAI unveils ChatGPT-4an AI chatbot that surpasses its predecessor in terms of natural language processing (NLP). 

This new version enables more human interaction and better language comprehension. ChatGPT-4 is able to respond to questions in a more appropriate and relevant way. The writing of texts and the creation of personalized content for businesses are also improved. Experts point to its enhanced problem-solving and reasoning capabilities. 

This evolution of AI chatbots opens up new perspectives in the field of NLP. This suggests a future where technology will transform our interactions with machines.

ChatGPT-4 is harder to fool

It has a better memory and is even more multilingual. In AI, the notion of "controllability" is fundamental, as it refers to the AI's ability to adapt its behavior according to the user's needs. In this area, ChatGPT-4 takes a quantum leap forward, offering more advanced native controllability than its predecessor, GPT-3-5 (ChatGPT). 

With this new feature, ChatGPT-4 can play different roles, from knowledgeable expert to friendly listener, and many more. 

Users also have the option of personalizing their experience by replacing the classic personality with fixed verbosity, tone and style with a personality that better suits their specific needs. This new feature therefore offers a more personalized, tailor-made user experience, adapted to individual preferences.

In addition, multimodal technology equips ChatGPT-4 to process images and text simultaneously, unlike previous versions which focused solely on text. In addition, it can explain images such as cartoons. It is also in the process of integrating the use of video. It has achieved human-level performance scores in professional and academic tests, significantly outperforming its predecessor.

The limits of OpenIA's ChatGPT

Like its big brother, ChatGPT-4 cannot reason about current events. In fact, its training is based on data from before 2021. This limitation is about to be resolved with the arrival of new plug-ins providing access to the latest known information. According to Open AI, there is also the problem of social prejudice and hallucinations (responses with erroneous information). These problems can be alleviated with the introduction of these plug-ins.

Unlike ChatGPT, ChatGPT-4 is not available free of charge. Users must subscribe to ChatGPT+ for a monthly fee of $24 (around €22). 

However, Bing users can access the "new Bing" free of charge, which enables enhanced interaction with the model.

In this way, Microsoft allows its users to choose between several personalities: creative, balanced or precise.

Google Chrome offers extensions to ChatGPT

ChatGPT, the original, with its strong potential, has a minimalist interface. Only a text field and a send button. This lacks functionality. For example: text-to-speech, an option to easily copy responses, a choice of writing style and tone.

Asapplication is still under development, improvements are planned for the near future. 

In the meantime, Chrome extensions are stepping in to fill the gap. Some extensions integrate ChatGPT functionalities directly into the browser.
