GPT-4

What a week! Obviously, the main news of the week was the much-anticipated release of GPT-4. I created a GPT-4 review video and also tested it against ChatGPT 3.5, check it out and let me know what you think. I also wrote about the specifics of the launch here. I won’t rehash the launch details, I plan on doing a few more videos on the capabilities of GPT-4, but I did want to share some of the coolest examples of GPT-4 being used for incredible projects. Here are some of my favorites.

Here’s an example of a Snake game being created by ChatGPT-4 in under 60 seconds, by someone who had no prior experience with Javascript.

Here’s an example from Greg Brockman, Cofounder of OpenAI, using GPT-4 to convert a napkin sketch of a website into the actual website! The new tech here is multi-modal inputs, in this case, GPT-4 is ingesting an image, fully understanding it, and then responding with the code to create the website:

Do you hate robocalls as much as me? This example shows off a company called DoNotPay using GPT-4 to generate automatic lawsuits when a robocaller dials you.

Next, it has been confirmed that Bing Chat is using a modified version of GPT-4.

** And don’t miss these videos I made about GPT-4:

MidJourney V5 Released

MidJourney, the generative art company, released V5 of their product. They were already considered the best generative art model in terms of detail and quality, but this release really put them far ahead. Here are some V5 examples from Twitter:
