Is there anything we could do to have them stop calling themselves OpenAI ? They are so far from open at this point. In Germany at least, you're not allowed to have a misleading name for your company

I don’t like the name either, but I don’t think there’s anything descriptive enough in ‘open’ that a lawyer couldn’t explain away. We’re used to open meaning a specific thing in software, but a lot of leeway is given in branding.

Asking ChatGPT+ if it is GPT-4 results in > As an AI language model, I am not given an official name like "GPT-4". However, I am a continuation of the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) series of models developed by OpenAI. Currently, the most advanced version of the GPT series is GPT-3, which I am a part of. There has been no official announcement or confirmation regarding the development of a new version of G…

Same for me.

Since it’s trained on a specialized supercomputer I doubt we’ll be seeing an open source or non-OpenAI version of this for the next couple years at least. Sad to say it but OpenAI has successfully privatized AI

I dont know, there's been a load of progress in the 'run something like chatgpt on your own machine' dept in the last few months. Also Stanford trained Alpaca - fairly cheaply - using output from OpenAIs text-davinci-003, which somewhat suggests that the 'little guys' are are able to benefit from the expensive training done by the 'big guys' by using the big expensive models to train the small open-sources ones - https://crfm.stanford.edu/2023/03/13/alpaca.html

The future seemed so much further away, yet almost every day now we see a new breakthrough in AI. Exponential technological growth is hard to keep track of, and to think that this is only the beginning! Every field will likely be revolutionised with AI.

Wait until gpt-5 writes gpt-6, then we’ll really go exponential.

I've been wondering what happens to Turnitin (ubiquitous academic plagiarism detector) now that students can cheat using infinite bespoke rather than finite pre-existing material. Just a few weeks ago they released a tool to "detect" ChatGPT. Obsolete already?

This is huge: "Rather than the classic ChatGPT personality with a fixed verbosity, tone, and style, developers (and soon ChatGPT users) can now prescribe their AI’s style and task by describing those directions in the 'system' message."

this is kind of a nitpicky complaint, but the bar graph that shows the improvements for GPT-4 everywhere that GPT-4 improves its results and shows nothing about GPT-4 everywhere where GPT-3 is stronger feels dishonest and manipulative, which is a shame because the actual data the graph shows is very impressive.

> Given both the competitive landscape and the safety implications of large-scale models like GPT-4, this report contains no further details about the architecture (including model size), hardware, training compute, dataset construction, training method, or similar. "Open"

Why is this downvoted?

Rather than getting engrossed in the hype, they're slowly closing everything about themselves, now in their research papers. At this point, they hardly care and it is nothing got to do with 'AI ethics' or 'saftey'.

This is yet another ClosedAI production all done by Microsoft. Might as well call it Microsoft® AI division.

Now you really need a open source GPT-4 competitor. Clearly this is another attempt to pump their valuation and unload to the public markets.

Good luck re-implementing this so-called 'Open' large multi-modal model.
