According to Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, artificial intelligence (AI) technology has the potential to drastically change society, but also has real dangers, as reported by ABC News. He believes that AI chatbots could "eliminate a lot of current jobs" but also has the potential to be "the greatest technology humanity has yet developed" to improve our lives.

Altman emphasized the importance of being careful with AI development, stating that people should be happy that "we are a little bit scared of this." He also discussed the possible effects of chatbots powered by AI on education, suggesting that it could encourage laziness among students. However, Altman also acknowledged that technology has changed education before, such as when the calculator was introduced.

Altman and his team want users to think of ChatGPT as a "co-pilot" in any field, someone who can help users write complex computer code or solve problems. ChatGPT Plus, OpenAI's subscription service to access its text-generating AI, is now available in India, giving users early access to new features, including GPT-4.

Altman's concerns about AI are not unfounded. AI chatbots could potentially replace many jobs in various industries, leading to significant changes in the workforce. However, Altman's belief in the potential benefits of AI is also valid. AI has the potential to improve healthcare, make transportation more efficient, and even help solve climate change.

In conclusion, the development of AI technology is complex, and it comes with both benefits and risks. As Altman suggests, we should be cautious but also open-minded about the potential benefits of AI. By doing so, we can ensure that AI is developed in a way that benefits society as a whole.

Last week, GPT-4, the successor to GPT-3.5 (the large language model that powers ChatGPT), was unveiled by OpenAI.

Ever since ChatGPT was released as a prototype last year, the chatbot has been taking over the world by storm with its ability to quickly generate a variety of responses — ranging from writing high-school essays to creating complex codes for programmers — in a surprisingly human-like manner. Now, with the arrival of the way more capable GPT-4, it appears that the way we use ChatGPT might change soon, marked by GPT-4's ability to process both text and image inputs.
