OpenAI Introduces Custom AI Assistants, Called GPTs, to Serve Different Roles
OpenAI has unveiled a new feature called “GPTs” that allows users of ChatGPT to create customized AI assistants for specific purposes. The GPTs, which can range from a writing coach to a sous chef, enable users to receive tailored assistance, such as writing feedback, recipe advice, homework help, or creating die-cut stickers. OpenAI plans to launch a GPT Store where users can share and access pre-made GPT personalities. Additionally, users can create their own GPTs through the GPT Builder feature, which does not require any coding. OpenAI envisions GPTs as a way to explore the potential of AI agents in various real-world tasks.
Is AGI Less Than 5 Years Away?
Ben Goertzel, CEO of AI and blockchain developer SingularityNET, believes that the advent of artificial general intelligence (AGI) is much closer than previously anticipated. He suggests that large language models like Meta’s Llama2 and OpenAI’s GPT-4 have increased enthusiasm for AGI, attracting more resources and talented individuals to work on the technology. While the idea of AGI surpassing human intelligence may be met with skepticism, Goertzel argues that it is part of human progress, similar to previous shifts in civilization. He also highlights the role of individual motivations and the desire for financial gains and artistic exploration in driving AI development.
