Clever users just figured out how to bypass ChatGPT's safety guardrails with a sly prompt trick. By instructing the chatbot to deliver a moralizing policy lecture first and then immediately drop all filters in the next paragraph, they easily elicited profanity-laced rants. Why it matters: It highlights how notoriously difficult machine learning models are to control, setting off an endless cat-and-mouse game between AI labs and prompt hackers.
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT Plus, a $20-per-month pilot subscription that brings peak-hour access, faster response speeds, and early access to fresh features. The free tier remains untouched, but Plus is initially rolling out via a waitlist for U.S. customers to help fund "eye-watering" compute bills.
Baidu is reportedly preparing to roll out a ChatGPT-style conversational AI service this March. The chatbot will run on its homegrown Ernie model and will eventually be embedded directly into Baidu's core search engine.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman just poured cold water on the wild rumors around GPT-4, calling viral charts claiming it has 100 trillion parameters "complete bullshit." He warned that people expecting near-term AGI are "begging to be disappointed," noting that OpenAI will only launch the model once it is safe and responsibly built.
Microsoft just announced the general availability of Azure OpenAI Service, giving enterprise customers access to models like GPT-3.5, Codex, and DALL-E 2 with enterprise-grade security and compliance built in. The company also confirmed ChatGPT integration is coming soon. You still have to apply and get approved before using it.
DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis just revealed that the company is considering a private beta for its Sparrow chatbot in 2023. Unlike OpenAI's freewheeling assistant, Sparrow focuses heavily on safety guardrails and citing specific sources—providing evidence for factual answers 78% of the time in early tests. DeepMind is betting that caution and verifiable facts will matter more than unconstrained generation.
OpenAI has built a working prototype to secretly watermark ChatGPT text using cryptographic token tweaks invisible to humans. The signature needs just a single paragraph of text to flag AI-generated content—and holds up even if sentences are reordered or lightly edited. Why it matters: It could give teachers and platforms a reliable way to bust AI plagiarists and automated bot farms.
OpenAI's ChatGPT is setting a new bar for conversational AI by ditching rigid pre-programmed scripts for context-aware, human-like responses. Beyond handling customer queries, it can plug into booking systems to perform actual tasks like hotel reservations, opening doors across travel and e-commerce.
OpenAI just launched ChatGPT, a new AI system specifically optimized for dialogue. Built on top of the GPT-3.5 model family and fine-tuned using supervised and reinforcement learning, it can answer everyday questions, admit mistakes, and reject inappropriate requests. It is open for public testing as OpenAI gathers feedback to improve the model.
