The Game-Changing Potential of ChatGPT's Generative AI Plugins.

OpenAI's ChatGPT plugins, which link its conversational AI to the real world, have the potential to tackle challenges associated with large language models, including "hallucinations," keeping up with recent events, and accessing proprietary information. The plugins make it possible for ChatGPT to browse the internet for real-time information. However, there are concerns about security issues for sensitive data and the potential impact on website traffic. OpenAI also released its own ChatGPT plugins, including an open-source knowledge-retrieval plugin, and developers need to access a vector database that indexes and searches documents and acts as a "long-term memory" for the application.
