What's next for ChatGPT?

It’s Wednesday, Jan 11th - Welcome to the Cryptohunt Jam, where we spend a minute a day explaining the intersection of exciting new technologies and your world. As always: In plain English.

Remember our episode about ChatGPT, that almighty chat robot that can answer practically any question you throw at it? The one that could trick most people into thinking they are talking with a human? The one that helped millions of people create Christmas cards, love poems, and computer code?

If you don’t - you should absolutely know about it. It’s some of the craziest tech we’ve seen. We have a class about it on www.cryptohunt.it.

But for now, buckle up. Whatever your feelings about the existing version may be: impressive, creepy, or downright Terminator-style dangerous: Apparently a new, even more powerful version is already being shown to people behind closed doors.

It's based on version 4 of its core engine, called GPT, which is the computer code that can process language like a human with the knowledge of a librarian.

What's different about the new version? It can do the same impressive tasks as before, but create much more comprehensive outputs. Sounds like nothing, but think about it this way: Where you previously could make it write a page-long essay based on your sentence-long request, it can now write a 600-page book with the same input. Or what previously created 10 lines of computer code do program something very specific, and now build an entire application. Error-free, in mere seconds, and just based on a simple verbal description of what it should do.

“ChatGPT, can you build me an Airbnb competitor?”

Imagine the possibilities: A single person could write hundreds of books in a day. You could simply request a library of personalized short stories. Or instead of slowly building something like Facebook over a decade, now you could simply throw that out there to test in mere minutes.

In other words: What seemed like hard work in the past, could get so easy that we'll start living in a world of complete abundance. Maybe the skill of the future is not to know how to create something, but how to ask AI to do it best.

Honestly, we don't quite know how to feel about that.

But what we do know: This is one of the most game-changing technologies in a long time. And we'll keep bringing you the latest thoughts and developments here in this podcast and on cryptohunt.it.
