WHEN I went to the OpenAI website on Monday morning to continue testing the new version of ChatGPT powered by GPT-4, the chatbot didn’t try to sabotage my relationship, write my emails, or develop my creativity — it simply didn’t work. Demand is high, and the company occasionally experiences outages. Greg Brockman, the founder and president of OpenAI, spoke about the model’s imperfection in a recent livestream. He also reminded the audience that they were not without the ships themselves.
Generative AI is a focal point for many Silicon Valley investors after the transformational change of ChatGPT late last year to OpenAI. The chatbot uses extensive data scraped from the internet and elsewhere to produce predictive human responses. It was previously powered by the GPT-3.5 language model. While this version remains online, an algorithm called GPT-4 is now available with a $20 monthly subscription to ChatGPT Plus.
If you are considering this subscription, here is what you should know before signing up, examples of how the two chatbots differ.
What Does Your Subscription Include?
The core service you pay for with ChatGPT Plus is access to GPT-4. Even after paying $20 a month, a certain number of plans from the GPT-4 model per day is not guaranteed. OpenAI says openly that the company can change the maximum number it thinks is allowed at any time. While testing it on Friday, the cap was set at 50 messages per four hours. When I returned on Monday morning, the site was glitchy and the cap had dropped to 25 messages in three hours.
OpenAI claims that ChatGPT Plus will avoid subscribers getting kicked out of the chatbot during peak usage hours and receive faster responses. However, users should be aware that they may lose access to ChatGPT during some outages. In addition, the current iteration of the GPT-4 model often takes longer to respond to prompts than GPT-3.5 does.
You can try the GPT-4 version for free by signing up for Microsoft’s Bing and using the chat mode.
How is GPT-4 different from the older model?
Many aspects of GPT-4 remain obscure. OpenAI has not shared many details about GPT-4 with the public, such as the size of the model or the specifics of its training data. ChatGPT plus subscribers do not yet have access to the image-analysis capabilities recently envisioned by the company.
Mind you, are the responses from the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models noticeably different? OpenAI’s website reads, “GPT-4 excels at tasks that require advanced reasoning, complex instructional intelligence, and creativity.” It seems like the new model will do well in standardized situations, but what if this was put to the test? Below are two chatbots’ initial, unpublished responses to the three specially prepared for this purpose.
