'Extend' (and lock in) with Plugins to suffocate competitors. Another sign of Microsoft actually running the show with their newly acquired AI division.

What else would a plugin do?

Does this functionality provide more than one can build with the GPT-4 API?

Could I get the same by just making my prompt "You are a computer and can run the following tools to help you answer the users question: run_python('program'), google_search('query')".

Other people have done this already, for example [1]

That's a game-changer! It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed. We wrote a blog post on how to get started with a custom plugin: https://qdrant.tech/articles/chatgpt-plugin/

>It seems like factuality issues with ChatGPT might be fixed. Is that really possible to fix that just from a plug-in? All it has to do is admit when it doesn't have the answer, and yet it won't even do that. This leads me to think that ChatGPT doesn't even know when it's lying, so i can't imagine how a plug-in will fix that.

The fact that the model does not have to rely on its internal knowledge anymore but can communicate literally with any external system makes me feel it may significantly reduce the hallucination.

With Wolfram plugin ChatGPT is going to become a Math genius. OpenAI is moving fast to make sure their first-mover advantage doesn't go to waste.

I feel like people with smart AI's would have an advantage in making smart decisions. Probably at this point they discuss business strategy with some version of it.

Smart way to remain the funnel owner. Let everyone build a plugin, before they integrate your product into theirs.

They have a window of less than 6 month to create a monopoly before their tech get commoditized.

The play is well know: create a marketplace with customers and vendors like Amazon, Facebook, Google.

But with GPT-4 training finished last summer they had plenty of time for strategy.

This is a big deal for openai. Been working with homegrown toolkits and langchain, the open source version of this, for a number of months and the ability to call out to vectorstores, serpapis, etc, and chaining together generations and data-retrieval really unlocks the power of the LLMs.

That being said, I'd never build anything dependent on these plugins. OpenAI and their models rule the day today, but who knows what will be next. Building on a open source framework (like langchain/gpt-index/roll your own), and having the ability to swap out the brain boxes behind the scenes is the only way forward IMO.

And if you're a data provider, are there any assurances that openai isn't just scraping the output and using it as part of their RLHF training loop, baking your proprietary data into their model?
