According to OpenAI, the update will give more-accurate responses to users’ queries. “Over a range of domains — including documents with text and photographs, diagrams or screenshots — GPT-4 exhibits similar capabilities as it does on text-only inputs,” OpenAI wrote in its GPT-4 documentation. GPT-4 performs higher than ChatGPT on the standardized tests mentioned above. Answers to prompts given to the chatbot may be more concise and easier to parse. OpenAI notes that GPT-3.5 Turbo matches or outperforms GPT-4 on certain custom tasks. In creating, training and using these models, OpenAI and its biggest investors have poured billions into these projects.
Creating recipes with images is a clever use of the technology, but it is only the tip of how images could be used with ChatGPT. The company also demonstrated the ability to create a whole website that successfully ran JavaScript with just a handwritten sketch of a website. This simply means it is a program able to understand human language as it is spoken and written, allowing it to understand the worded information it is fed, and what to spit back out. Overall, the potential applications of GPT-4 are truly
vast, and it has the potential to transform the way we interact with and
understand language in a wide range of fields and applications. However, as
with any new technology, it will be important to be mindful of the potential
risks and downsides, and to take appropriate measures to mitigate these risks
as much as possible.
It is also certain that this technology will continue growing and insurers will explore and identify new use cases. GPT-5 development is already underway from OpenAI, though the official release date has not been announced. Last month, RGA posed three insurance questions to GPT-3 with mixed results. While GPT-3 provided good answers to questions about the long-term mortality effects of COVID-19 and the future of digital distribution, it stumbled on a more nuanced query. GPT-3 incorrectly surmised that adoptive parents could pass on a genetic condition to their biologically unrelated children. GPT-4 answered all three questions correctly, providing more detail for the two correct answers without adding substantially to the response length.
