ChatGPT Rolling Out Major Update: ‘Like AI From the Movies’
By Movieguide® Contributor
ChatGPT users will notice a marked difference in the coming weeks as the service upgrades from version 3.5 to 4o, introducing several new capabilities.
GPT-4o is being marketed as the AI of science fiction as it can respond nearly instantly to a combination of audio, visual and text inputs.
“The new voice (and video) mode is the best computer interface I’ve ever used,” said OpenAI CEO and founder Sam Altman in a blog post. “It feels like AI from the movies; and it’s still a bit surprising to me that it’s real. Getting to human-level response times and expressiveness turns out to be a big change.”
“The original ChatGPT showed a hint of what was possible with language interfaces; this new thing feels viscerally different. It is fast, smart, fun, natural, and helpful,” he continued. “Talking to a computer has never felt really natural for me; now it does… I can really see an exciting future where we are able to use computers to do much more than ever before.”
Not only will users be able to communicate with the chatbot through audio, but they will also be able to show the program images through photos, uploading documents or even by sharing their screen. The technology will also attempt to read the tone of users’ voices to incorporate feelings into its response.
“This is the first time that we are really making a huge step forward when it comes to the ease of use,” said the chief technology officer at OpenAI, Mira Murati. “This is incredibly important because we’re looking at the future of interaction between ourselves and the machines. We think that GPT-4o is really shifting the paradigm into the future of collaboration where this iteration becomes much more natural and far, far easier.
The chatbot’s audio capabilities will be available in over 50 languages.
“For the past couple of years, we’ve been very focused on improving the intelligence of these models…But this is the first time that we are really making a huge step forward when it comes to the ease of use,” Murati added.
As with previous iterations of the technology, GPT version 4o will be available for free, with a paid version offering the same features at five times the capacity.
The company also announced it would launch a new desktop version of ChatGPT on MacOS.

OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, recently announced the next-generation version of artificial intelligence technology, GPT-4, and the update reveals the power AI could have on society.
While GPT-4 is currently available only via a waitlist, some early-access users have shared their findings about the tool’s capabilities.
CNN Business reports that GPT-4 can work with photos uploaded by users, something ChatGPT couldn’t do.
For example, GPT-4 can turn a drawing into a functional website within minutes. Another test revealed that the AI system could come up with a meal based on a picture of the interior of a refrigerator.
