  • How to use GPT-4 on ChatGPT right now?

    ‌‌Though ChatGPT 3— arguably the most helpful version of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot developed by OpenAI until now— launched in 2020, it hasn’t been long since people got the hang of it. People are using this generative AI for all sorts of questioning, blog writing, paper writing, and others. The popularity of ChatGPT has spread like wildfire. It wouldn’t be wrong to compare its popularity to the popularity of sugar in Europe in the 19th century. Ironically, until 1850, only wealthy people in society could afford sugar, and then, thanks to Napoleon, beet sugar became available in the British market and became affordable. People were hooked on this cheap yet tasty pick-me-up and couldn’t get enough. The same goes for GPT-4 and ChatGPT Plus. Like sugar in 1850, only people who have subscribed to the ChatGPT Plus can use GPT-4 features, which are more enhanced than its predecessor.

    ChatGPT, GPT-4, and ChatGPT Plus

    For the uninitiated, ChatGPT is a large language model (LLM) -based AI Chatbot trained on human dialogues in the form of text. It can produce texts and responses in the form of human-like output when prompted. It can generate poems, make up conversations and stories and help you write blogs and reports. On the other hand, GPT, short for generative pre-trained transfer, is an LLM. It uses a larger dataset of texts and codes for training than the AI chatbot. And OpenAI, the official company behind this transforming technology, has just released its newest version GPT-4.

    Success Story of OpenAI- The Makers of the ChatGPT
    OpenAI offers services for AI development and implementation. It is the creator of the famous ChatGPT. This is the story of how it all started.

    GPT-4 is presently unavailable for everyone as it costs a USD 20 subscription, but you can join the API waitlist.

    “We’re making GPT-4 available as an API for developers to build applications and services”, says OpenAI on its website.

    There is another way to get inexpensive access as a researcher. If you’re into research and want to research, say on the societal impact of AI, or write papers on OpenAI’s GPT-4, you can fill out a form and hit submit to get subsidized access through their research access program.

    Anyway, if you’re a ChatGPT user and you’ve been using it to feed your curiosity or simply write blogs or articles, you might have noticed that it doesn’t always produce the desired result. To put it more straightforwardly, its features are basic and limited. GPT-4 offers an upgradation of those features and more.

    ChatGPT was bound by limited text (3000-word limit) as input which restricted its response to more conceptual and contextual queries, but GPT-4 can offer a massive 25000-word intake for asking your questions with context. Not only that, you can give it a website URL and it will summarize or give you a brief idea about the content of the webpage.

    Regarding visuals, GPT-4 can take images as input and provide you with analytical responses as well. If you enter an image of balloons tied to ropes, it will inform you that the balloons will fly away when you sever the thread. It is unclear whether it can do the same with videos, but this is a significant enhancement.

    GPT-4 is more logical, analytical, and creative with its response than its predecessor. And that’s the thing about technology, constant improvement. GPT-4 is performing better than ChatGPT when it comes to human-made tests. In Uniform Bar Exams, a test conducted by NCBE (National Conference of Bar Examiners) for law aspirants in 26 US states, GPT-4 was amongst the 90th percentiles outperforming ChatGPT (10th).

    GPT-4 vs GPT 3.5: 5 Key Differences Explained
    OpenAI claims its new upgraded version GPT-4 is much more capable than GPT-3.5. Let’s see the 5 key differences between the GPT-4 and its predecessor in this article.

    OpenAI is currently offering a 20 USD subscription for ChatGPT Plus. ChatGPT Plus is an upgrade over the previous ChatGPT. It can respond to dialogue-based conversations like ChatGPT but with more creative and contextual responses. It utilizes GPT-4’s longer context feature to come with longer content for its users, which is useful for people writing survey reports and research papers. It’s a great tool to have while writing.

    How to use GPT-4 on ChatGPT right now?

    It is natural for people to be curious about things, but curiosity about the latest technologies is what I appreciate even more. People who have been using ChatGPT are now interested in using GPT-4. So, how can you use GPT-4, and more importantly, how can you use GPT-4 on the same ChatGPT platform?

    OpenAI says that you have to take the 20 USD subscription plan to use ChatGPT Plus, and by doing so, you access the features of GPT-4 over the ChatGPT platform.

    GPT- 4 – Launch

    On March 27, 2023, OpenAI published its technical report on GPT-4 which is a “large-scale, multimodal model” which can accept images and text as inputs and can create text outputs. Not to be confused with ChatGPT, which is a conversation (chat) bot model, designed specifically for conversational interactions with people. ChatGPT uses natural language processing techniques to comprehend the user’s intent and generate fitting responses. It has separate data set for training and includes a dialogue management system to come up with appropriate responses in a conversation. You can also refer to previous responses in a conversation and it does well to remember that.

    The GPT-4, an improvement over the previous GPT 3.5, was initially released on March 15, 2023, and has sparked quite a debate. It aims to improve the capabilities of GPT 3.5 in understanding and generating natural language texts, particularly in more complex scenarios like image interpretation and even solving logical tests designed for humans. And frankly, it is doing pretty well, outsmarting, outscoring many human test takers.

    The easiest access to GPT-4 is Microsoft’s Bing chat. Microsoft and OpenAI have a significant partnership. In 2019, Microsoft Inc. announced a $1 billion partnership with OpenAI to develop advanced AI technologies. And now it has come to light that Microsoft’s search engine Bing uses GPT-4 for its AI chatbot Bing Chat to break Google’s hegemony in web search (engine).

    So, Bing is the easiest way to access GPT-4. Another way to use GPT-4 is by paying $20 for ChatGPT plus a subscription where you can explore the full range of GPT-4 capabilities. Although, a feature like visual input is currently not available on Bing and there is no clarification on which other capabilities are integrated with Bing as of now.

    GPT- 4 and Why Are We Talking About It?

    GPT-4 is a large language model or conversational AI developed by OpenAI. It is the fourth generation of the GPT language model series, and it is presumed to be significantly more powerful than its predecessor GPT-3.5. It is trained on a massive dataset of text and code, and it can generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way including responding to visual inputs. It’s capable of interpreting logical inputs and producing responses similar to human beings.

    What is GPT4 and How You Can Use OpenAI GPT 4

    Generative AI has got us talking about it and there are several reasons for that but primarily because it is a very critical breakthrough in artificial intelligence. It is the first language model that can generate human-quality text, and it has the potential to revolutionize many industries. It can complement people in their work, mainly people that are involved in journalism, content writing and data analytics, and more. GPT-4 could be used to create more realistic chatbots (like Bing Chat, and ChatGPT), generate more engaging marketing content, and write more creative and informative articles.

    What’s New With GPT-4?

    GPT-4 is an upgraded version of GPT-3.5. While there are many similarities between GPT-4 and its predecessor, GPT-4 is an upgrade in terms of its use, accuracy, response size (word limit), interpretational skills, and inputs.

    How GPT-4 is more reasonable than ChatGPT
    How GPT-4 is more reasonable than ChatGPT

    GPT-4 has a larger and more diverse dataset to train. It is trained on a dataset of text and code that is 100 times larger than the dataset used to train GPT-3 which allows GPT-4 to learn more about the world and to produce more accurate and creative text. It also uses a new architecture that is significantly more powerful than the architecture used in GPT-3, so it can process more information and generate more complex text. It is capable of producing textual responses around 8 times larger than its predecessor. Its training process is also very efficient.

    OpenAI says that the new version of GPT is more advanced in three key areas that are creativity, visual input, and longer context. If you enter an image of balloons tied to a thread and ask what will happen when you cut the thread, it can tell you that the balloons will fly away. It can also take in and produce a 25000-word response compared to ChatGPT’s 3000-word limit.

    It is also more prepared and provides safeguards when it comes to ‘adversarial usage’, ‘unwanted content’, and ‘privacy concerns.’ Well, that’s what it says on its website.

    Educational Benefits

    Apart from writing essays, articles, and the usual, what I’m more interested in is the educational benefits of GPT-4. It is like a teacher with 360-degree training in all the subjects a school-going student would hope for. History, Science, Maths, Sociology, French, Computer Science, Philosophy, you name it and it will produce responses to your questions in a humanized manner.

    Imagine what a fifth grader, who doesn’t get enough time at school to ask questions related to maths or is shy to ask them upfront, can learn when equipped with GPT-4 that can help him/her with mathematical equations, graphs, and complex algebra and geometry questions. Students in USA or India, trying to learn foreign languages like French, Spanish, German, etc, can also benefit from GPT-4 immensely.

    Many educational platforms like Duolingo and Knewton are using integrated GPT-4 AI models to understand user input and produce appropriate responses, which is quite advantageous if you ask me.

    How GPT- 4 Is Different From Google’s LaMDA?

    Developed by Google Inc., LaMDA, short for, Language Model for Dialogue Applications, is a language model just as GPT-4 but it has been developed and trained on a massive dataset of code and text and dialogue backed by Google’s search engine. It can produce different creative texts, like poems, code, scripts, musical pieces, emails, letters, etc.

    Google LaMDA and GPT-4

    Conclusion

    GPT-4 is trained on a dataset based on text and code and it can produce complex text, create different kinds of creative content and but LaMDA is trained on a dataset based on dialogue and understands natural human language better. it can create more engaging conversations like ChatGPT. Google’s chatbot named Bard is based on LaMDA and poised to produce better responses than ChatGPT but there’s still time to determine how this AI race will play out in the long run.

    FAQs

    About Bing

    Bing is an internet based search engine which was unveiled as a one stop platform of Microsoft after it compiled all its search engines into one namely MSN search, Windows live search, and Live search.

    market share of search engines worldwide
    market share of search engines worldwide

    ‌It can be inferred from the graph above that Bing is the second most used search engine worldwide. However, the share of the same is substantially low. Microsoft is working gradually and rigorously to capture the most part of the market.

    Bing Search Engine
    Bing Search Engine

    ‌‌‌‌With the monopoly of Google in the market, it becomes tougher for any new brand to attract the consumer base. And doing this would definitely have been a task for Bing. Bing’s marketing journey is a story to know. Let us see how Bing grew to earn billions of dollars working in a highly competitive space.

    ‌‌‌‌‌‌A decision engine: Microsoft Bing when launched was titled as a decision engine because of its efficiency and relevant search results for the query typed. It provided search results for the original query. It enabled the consumers to rather bing than google in the initial phase. Hence it definitely brought the users for Bing.

    ‌‌No Captcha: Many times we come across Google verifying if we are a robot which can be an advantage for Bing if a user is a compulsive search engine user. Bing allows users to search as many times as he/she want.

    ‌‌Related searches bar: It was Microsoft Bing that came up with the idea of displaying related searches when a user enters any query. It made tasks a lot easier for a user to surf through a list of search results and click on the most relevant one.

    ‌‌Microsoft-Yahoo tie up: In July 2009, Microsoft Bing came into an agreement with Yahoo where it allowed Bing to power search on Yahoo portal which was for 10 years. With the two giants tieing up to fight the monopoly of Google, it resulted in the favour for Microsoft as well as Yahoo.

    ‌‌Microsoft-Facebook collaboration: In the year 2012, Microsoft thought of partnering with Facebook which was the most used social networking site after Google with around 400 million user base to show Bing search results over world wide web (www) portal. It helped Microsoft Bing to acquire a decent percent of the market during that time. Google still remained the top player in search engines.

    ‌‌Microsoft-Apple partnership: In the next year, Microsoft Bing partnered with Apple and Apple decided to make Bing their search engine in apple products by nudging google out. It announced siri would leverage bing and not google in the year 2013.

    ‌‌Integrated windows search engine: Microsoft after launching its windows store to download apps, it integrated Bing as its search engine which again is a marketing strategy.

    ‌‌Option to personalize: Microsoft understands that people prefer to make their digital space personalised to get rich experiences and relatability. Bing allows a user to change the display, privacy, and suggestion settings to make them as his/her preference.

    ‌‌Bing ads service: Like Google, Microsoft Bing also provides the ad services on its search engine for people to market their products and services over the internet.

    Bing Ads

    ‌‌Similar to Google ads, Bing ads give businesses a platform to run their ad campaigns to attract traffic and generate sales. Bing ads are one of the many tools of digital marketing. When we compare the market share of Bing search engine, we tend to ignore the importance of advertising there. But Bing gets over a billion unique users every month. So it is a mistake to ignore the power of Bing. With Microsoft Bing providing its independent ad services to businesses is another pros for Bing as it is relatively cheaper than google ads. It apparently has higher conversion rates, lower cost per click, cheaper conversions, lesser competition and many more than that of Google. The ad services again makes it attractive for people who are earning through digital marketing, affiliate marketing etc. And digital marketing as we all know is a growing sector.

    ‌‌‌‌‌‌Good user interface/experience: Microsoft Bing has a better user interface than Google with more colorful wallpapers, vibrant visuals, quality display, and easy accessibility to those features. It provides good user experiences as

    • It has integrated other Microsoft applications like PowerPoint, MS office, MS excel, MS edge etc. within the search engine.
    • It has better images displayed with horizontal layout so that users do not have to visit the host website unnecessarily like in Google when he/she just wants to preview the image.
    • it has advanced video search options as it will not direct you to YouTube to watch a video. Instead, it will let you watch it then and there.
    • It has an option of ‘My saves’ which provides users with a dedicated tab of their favorite searches and results.

    However, Bing lags in the areas where Google is way ahead of the league like quick loading, bug detecting,data loading etc. which directly hampers the user experience. Some digital marketers may get annoyed because it may lead them to lose their potential conversions.

    Conclusion

    ‌‌Microsoft Bing still has a task to do to compete with giants like Google. But because it is continuously working to make it more efficient in terms of user experience, advanced features, and ads services so that it can attract a good number of users in its basket, it has a bright future. It definitely has a decent share of the US market but it has a long way to travel to acquire decent global market share to become comparable with Google search engine. The innovative step of Microsoft Bing is being friends with the enemy’s enemy. It kept on partnering with the giants which were already in competition with Google which helped it to get the little exposure it currently has.
