The extent of AI-powered tools and technology penetrating our day-to-day life is undoubtedly unfathomable, and just like its predecessors, GPT-4 is here to amaze the virtual world.

In 2020, OpenAI released GPT-3, which leverages AI and Deep Learning to generate content. In 2021, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, hinted that the company is planning to reveal GPT-4 around July-August this year. However, the company’s discreet call and no-revelation-talks have caused quite a stir among the AI fraternity, leaving hardly a trail of information on this hyped product.

Even though this language model is yet to be released, there is not an ounce of doubt about its ability to excel its predecessors, and AI enthusiasts cannot stop talking about it. Here we get into the details of GPT-4, its expected features and its use cases for businesses across the globe.

What Exactly is GPT-4? #

The AI company, OpenAI has produced a series of autoregressive language models in the form of a Generative Pre-trained Transformer, more commonly referred to as GPT. These models started pouring in some time back, with the last one released in 2020 by the name GPT-3.

These language models are able to generate varied kinds of texts on the internet and are responsible for popularizing the “AI-generated content”. These employ machine learning to produce auto-generated texts and queues from even a miniature input text, allowing users to generate large amounts of content.

OpenAI revealed that the size of GPT-4 will almost remain the same as GPT-3, and there is enough evidence to support the fact that larger is not always better when it comes to AI-enabled products.

Technically, GPT-4 is composed of 100 trillion parameters which are almost 500 times more than its forerunner, NLP. This clearly implies that the impending model is capable of performing tasks at a much faster rate and is able not just to comprehend vast amounts of data but also to generate better, quicker outcomes.

How is GPT-4 Useful for the Virtual Market? #

Just like the predictions made by the users, GPT-4 is certainly going to perform tasks in a far more powerful manner than GPT-3. This implies that the latest model is expected to be apt and prompt and will be able to understand users’ requirements better.

GPT-3 worked with natural language and took some time to generate correct output, but GPT-4 shall be capable of consuming more input in the form of a higher number of symbols and generating more human-like results.

For the virtual world and businesses, GPT-4 is coming with the promise of making AI-generated content more accessible and popular. This means that the internet may see an outpour of “robot-written content”. GPT-3 had already achieved auto-generated email responses and hyper-programmed text generation, and GPT-4 is trained to do it all with more agility and precision.

For brands and companies leveraging this tool, content curation will become a piece of cake as long-form auto-generated content in a timely manner would yield faster results in less time and labor. The main intent of the language model is to come as close to human-like ability as possible, and with so many parameters, this upcoming product seems very true in achieving this trait.

Even for the programmers and coders, code versions of GPT-4 are sure to generate codes and programs within minutes and are guaranteed to wipe out the low-skilled coders from businesses.

Closing Thoughts #

While the applications of GPT-4 are too many to predict and enlist, there is a growing concern that the popularity and accessibility of such tools are going to flood the web with auto-generated content, making it difficult to distinguish between the original and plagiarized content forms.

Also, it raises another important question. Will the writer be sent home? Is AI-generated content the real king, after all? Certainly not. Even technically, GPT-4 is only a text-only model that makes it a smart content curation tool but nowhere like a human. And yes, if we are able to achieve multimodal AI(which is not nearly impossible in the upcoming decade), then the future of regular writers may be hanging on the thread. For now, these language models are here to aid the writers and make lives easier.
