OpenAI, a Microsoft Corp-backed startup, developed the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models, a family of large-scale artificial neural network language models designed to generate natural language text. These models are pre-trained on massive amounts of text data using unsupervised learning and can be fine-tuned for specific NLP tasks, making them adaptable for a wide range of use cases.

 

GPT models have become highly valued in NLP due to their ability to perform state-of-the-art tasks, such as language translation, text summarization, and question-answering. Moreover, their versatility makes them applicable in various industries, including customer service, content creation, and chatbots. Social listening platforms as well use AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning to analyse vast amounts of data from social media and other online sources to provide insights on brand analysis. Chat GPT Plus and social listening platforms are complementary tools that can work together to provide businesses with a more comprehensive understanding of their customers and the conversations that are happening online.

In this blog, we will explore the features and limitations of chat gpt plus as well as how it can enhance social listening platforms to derive various brand insights.

What is GPT-4 Technology?

GPT-4 is “multimodal,” implying that it can produce content by using both image and text prompts. On March 13, OpenAI announced the release of GPT-4, their next-generation large language model, which serves as the technical foundation for ChatGPT and Microsoft’s Bing AI chatbots. This release marks a significant upgrade, potentially paving the way for significant advancements in the capabilities and features of current AI technology.

How is the GPT-4 model better than previous versions?

Here is a chart that shows the general capabilities of the all the GPT models by OpenAI, along with their release date:

Here are the four things OpenAI's GPT-4 brings to next-generation AI

GPT-4 is now capable of processing visual input.

OpenAI has announced that GPT-4 can now accept images as inputs and generate captions, classifications, and analyses, enabling ChatGPT and Bing to interpret visual results similar to image search. This new development means that GPT-4 can “see” the world around it and provide visual explanations for applications like Be My Eyes, a tool designed for those with visual impairments. 

In a recent video aimed at developers, Greg Brockman, president, and cofounder of OpenAI, demonstrated how GPT-4 can interpret a sketch, convert it into a website, and provide the necessary code for the site.

GPT-4’s longer form output

OpenAI has stated that GPT-4 can handle more than 25,000 words of text, making it suitable for long-form content creation, extended conversations, and document search and analysis. This development has raised concerns among Kindle self-publishing moderators since ChatGPT’s output is expected to become more comprehensive and creative than ever with GPT-4. OpenAI has claimed that GPT-4 is more creative and collaborative than its predecessors, allowing it to generate, edit, and iterate with users on technical and creative writing tasks. Additionally, GPT -4’s ability to process more web pages directly into the prompt offers a significant advantage over GPT-3, which was trained until 2021. GPT-4 and ChatGPT can better understand the internet by providing more context, making it even more efficient and up-to-date.

The intelligence of GPT-4 surpasses that of its predecessors.

Large language models do not inherently exhibit intelligence. However, their understanding of word relationships and context is becoming increasingly sophisticated, as evidenced by the new GPT-4 model.

OpenAI downloaded sample student tests. Compared to GPT-3.5, this is how it performed.

 

For instance, GPT-4 significantly outperformed its predecessor, ChatGPT, on standardised tests such as the uniform bar exam and Biology Olympiad. Moreover, Duolingo employs GPT-4 to enhance its contextual comprehension and suggest appropriate language usage.

GPT-4: It's safer.

GPT-4 is safer and more aligned. It is 82% less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content and 40% more likely to produce accurate responses than GPT-3.5 on our internal evaluations.



The GPT 4 still has limitations!

Despite its impressive capabilities, GPT-4 still has certain limitations similar to its earlier versions. 

One of the significant limitations is its unreliability, as it tends to “hallucinate” facts and make reasoning errors. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using its outputs, particularly in critical contexts. Depending on the application, specific protocols such as human review, grounding with additional context, or avoiding high-stakes uses altogether may need to be followed.

Moreover, GPT -4’s pre-training data cuts off at September 2021, so it generally lacks knowledge of events after that time. It may also sometimes make simple reasoning errors or be too gullible in accepting false statements from users. It can also fail at challenging problems, much like humans, and may introduce security vulnerabilities in the code it produces.

GPT-4 can also make confident predictions that are wrong without double-checking its work. Furthermore, the model has certain biases in its outputs, and while OpenAI is taking measures to address them, it may take time to manage and characterise them fully.

 

On top of these points, GPT-4  technology can always complement social listening but it cannot replace it. Let us consider a few points where chat GPT is limited compared to a unique social listening platform.
