GPT-4o (“o” for “omni”) is a step towards much more natural human-computer interaction—it accepts as input any combination of text, audio, and image and generates any combination of text, audio, and image outputs. It can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, which is similar to human response time(opens in a new window) in a conversation. It matches GPT-4 Turbo performance on text in English and code, with significant improvement on text in non-English languages, while also being much faster and 50% cheaper in the API. GPT-4o is especially better at vision and audio understanding compared to existing models.
Prior to GPT-4o, you could use Voice Mode to talk to ChatGPT with latencies of 2.8 seconds (GPT-3.5) and 5.4 seconds (GPT-4) on average. To achieve this, Voice Mode is a pipeline of three separate models: one simple model transcribes audio to text, GPT-3.5 or GPT-4 takes in text and outputs text, and a third simple model converts that text back to audio. This process means that the main source of intelligence, GPT-4, loses a lot of information—it can’t directly observe tone, multiple speakers, or background noises, and it can’t output laughter, singing, or express emotion.
GPT-4o’s text and image capabilities are starting to roll out today in ChatGPT. We are making GPT-4o available in the free tier, and to Plus users with up to 5x higher message limits. We'll roll out a new version of Voice Mode with GPT-4o in alpha within ChatGPT Plus in the coming weeks.
How will this go wrong ... really ?
With GPTs' help :
1st draft :
1- Privacy Violations:Unrestricted use of AI for surveillance will lead to widespread invasion of privacy as individuals' activities will be monitored without their consent.
2-Discriminatory Practices:
Biases in AI algorithms will result in discriminatory practices, targeting specific groups unfairly based on factors like race, gender, and religion.
3-Abuse of Power:
Governments or other entities will abuse AI surveillance capabilities to suppress dissent, control populations, and violate human rights.
4-Security Risks:
As AI surveillance systems will be perverted, they will ~~be manipulated, leading to further privacy breaches and misinformation~~ lead to absolute despotism.
5-Lack of Accountability:
no one will ever be held accountable for all of this.
And those still are understatements.
2nd draft :
Question : Describe the worst despotic society facilitated by artificial intelligence.
Answer : (( ... bad things ... ))
