OpenAI is adjusting its strategy due to a slowdown in the rate of improvements in its GPT AI models. The company is exploring new approaches to maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
Microsoft has introduced the Copilot GPT Builder, allowing Copilot Pro users to create custom GPTs for specific tasks without the need for coding. These GPTs can be shared with others, potentially leading to a marketplace similar to OpenAI's GPT Store. GPTs are useful for automating AI-assisted tasks, and the process of creating them is straightforward, with no technical knowledge required. This development opens up new possibilities for AI chatbot users and could streamline day-to-day admin tasks.
Recent AI mishaps, including Google Gemini's diverse yet historically inaccurate image generation and ChatGPT's nonsensical responses, prompt discussions on the expectations and limitations of AI. The Vergecast also covers Reddit's AI training data deal with Google ahead of its IPO, Google's perplexing AI naming systems, and lightning rounds on Vizio TVs, Samsung audio systems, Apple's new Sports app, and more.
The US Patent and Trademark Office has denied OpenAI's application to trademark the term GPT, stating that it is too general to register and could prevent competitors from accurately describing their products. OpenAI argued that GPT is not a descriptive word, but the PTO emphasized that it refers to a general type of software used by those familiar with the technology. This is the second time OpenAI's trademark claim for GPT has been denied, and the company can appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board for another chance to secure the trademark.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has denied OpenAI's attempt to trademark "GPT," ruling that the term is "merely descriptive" and therefore unable to be registered. This decision is a setback for OpenAI's branding, but the company's dominance in the AI market with its ChatGPT model remains unaffected. While OpenAI argued that it popularized the term "GPT" to describe its generative pre-trained transformer model, the patent office pointed out that the term was already in use in various contexts by other companies. This denial means that OpenAI's legal protections are limited, but the company still retains the first-brander advantage in the GPT-related terminology.
The author initially saw little value in using most GPTs, but found one incredibly useful for finding synonyms to avoid repetition in writing. OpenAI's GPT creation process is simple, and the author's custom GPT, "What’s Another Word For," has become a regular part of their writing process, saving time and avoiding distractions from ads. While OpenAI aims to make creating GPTs easy and argues that AI helps people work, the author remains unsure of the broader utility of GPTs in their job and is hesitant to use others, despite being a paying subscriber to ChatGPT Plus.
OpenAI is set to launch a GPT store next week, enabling customers to share and sell customized OpenAI-powered chatbots for various uses, such as educational tools for teachers. The launch was initially planned for November but faced delays. The store aims to expand the accessibility and practical applications of OpenAI's AI models.
OpenAI is introducing a new feature that allows users to build special-purpose AI apps using its technology, with a new app store coming soon to find or share these customized AI tools. Users can create tailored versions of ChatGPT, OpenAI's AI chatbot, by providing plain-language instructions and uploading relevant knowledge. OpenAI aims to enable complex tasks by combining different services together. The company also unveiled GPT-4 Turbo, a more powerful and cost-effective large language model that can handle larger and more complex prompts. OpenAI plans to open an app store for these custom GPTs and share revenue with developers.
A Google Ads script that uses OpenAI's GPT to write an account performance summary and optimization suggestions has been developed. The script uses a table of campaign performance data to provide GPT with facts about the account's performance and optimization methodology. The prompt is engineered to provide GPT with precise instructions, and the resulting code is used to pull CSV data and send it to GPT for a summary. The script can be customized with target metrics and optimization suggestions, and the resulting summary can be shared with clients and stakeholders.
OpenAI's request to trademark "GPT" for its ChatGPT chatbot has been denied by the US Patent and Trademark Office, forcing the company to wait for the standard process. OpenAI had requested to speed up the process of trademarking the acronym, perhaps wanting to secure its brand after a barrage of GPT clones have been announced or launched. The trademarking process could now force OpenAI to wait another five months, but it's highly likely that OpenAI will receive the trademark in due time.
OpenAI has applied for a trademark for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer" (GPT) after several outfits applied for trademarks with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. However, OpenAI's petition was dismissed last week, and a decision could take up to five more months. Even then, the outcome isn't certain, and OpenAI may face resistance given that the "T" in GPT stands for "Transformer," which is the name of a neural network architecture that researchers at Google first unveiled in 2017.
The tech world is currently obsessed with Large Language Models (LLMs), GPTs, and AI in general, but it is unclear what to do with these capabilities. LLMs and transformers have immense potential, but we may just be scratching the surface of what they can provide. We are in the middle of a massive hype cycle, and no one really knows what all of this means. AI is just software, and for the foreseeable future, we should mostly expect some aspects of our interaction with software to improve. We need to take a more sober approach to the ethics and societal implications of these tools.
Bill Gates has called OpenAI's GPT AI model the most revolutionary advance in technology since he first saw a modern graphical desktop environment in 1980. He challenged the OpenAI team last year to develop an AI model that could pass the Advanced Placement Biology exam, and GPT-4, released last week, scored the maximum score. Gates believes that AI will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other, and entire industries will reorient around it.
Researchers at Stanford's Center for Research on Foundation Models have fine-tuned Meta's LLaMA 7B large language model using OpenAI's GPT API, resulting in the creation of Alpaca AI, which exhibits many behaviors similar to OpenAI's text-davinci-003. The researchers spent less than $500 on OpenAI's API and less than $100 on LLaMA. Alpaca's performance is similar to OpenAI's, but it suffers from several common deficiencies of language models, including hallucination, toxicity, and stereotypes.
