GPT-4 has been unleashed

Key Takeaways

it is March 15 2023 and you're watching the code report openai released gpt4 yesterday and I stand here in awe of its littiness it's by far the most Savage generative text model I've ever spoken to I'm literally shaking right now because I'm afraid I just became obsolete but more on that later it's the successor to the chat GPT 3.5 model that powers chat EPT but has a few new features that change everything here are seven things you need to know right now first gpt4 stands for generative pre-trained Transformer with the four representing the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse it's currently available to try out today if you're a Chad CPT Pro member but API access is behind a wait list big clients are already using it in production like Microsoft Bing chat Duolingo for language learning and at Big Banks to help them not collapse the second thing to know is that gpt4 is smarter which is described in detail on this paper like it past the bar exam in the top 10 percent unlike gbt 3 which was in the bottom 10 that's great news for Humanity because it's thinking like Shakespeare let's kill all the lawyers and not just that but it's also asyn AP exams which is good enough to get you college credit when it comes to programming questions on leak code it's able to solve the easy ones but still fails for the most part on the medium and hard questions it's basically where chess engines were at in the early 90s good chess players could still beat the engines back then but 10 years later they didn't have a chance third gpt4 can now handle 25 000 input words compared to about 3 000 for gpt3 this is huge because it means you can feed the AI more context relative to the task at hand this is the feature that's going to make me homeless because now you can take the documentation for any library that you want to learn then prove the AI for a step-by-step guide and it creates the perfect tutorial in a matter of months if not days we'll start seeing documentation pages with context aware built-in tutorial generators they'll always be up to date even though gpt4's training cutoff was in 2021. for example I asked it for a tutorial about angular signals which is a new feature just announced recently understandably its initial response was not correct however I went to the readme 4 angular signals copied it and pasted it into my prompt its respond was a near perfect tutorial they took our job it did hallucinate an npm package called signals but errors like that will become more rare as developers tailor their documentation for these AI printers what's crazy though is that it can do the opposite job as well in this example I wrote five different functions and asked it to document them for me it did a pretty good job which means humans don't even really need to write docs anymore you could also use it to analyze your code like if you have a smart contract and want to find security vulnerabilities or it can translate code from one language to another like a digital Rosetta Stone in fact the website Rosetta code might be just as obsolete as me now and just wait a few months until gpt4 is integrated into GitHub copilot it'll be capable of handling far more contacts to make predictions that align with your specific dependencies or possibly do project-wide AI debugging if you're not careful the co-pilot may become the captain but that's not all the fourth thing you need to know is that it's a multi-modal model that can also accept images as an input like this dude sketched out a website on a piece of toilet paper then seconds later it created a shitty website going from hand-drawn beautiful art to working website you'll be able to take your figma designs then generate a web application for them in your favorite framework actually screwfigma you might as well just prove to Mid Journey for your designs directly also with images homework is completely obsolete now gpt3 was already writing B grade term papers but now kids can just take a screenshot of their math problems and get a solution in seconds however gpt4 does have some drawbacks it's noticeably slower than other models so if the response time is important you'll likely want to use a different model in addition it'll likely be expensive especially if you're providing a ton of tokens as context because currently in the API your build per token where a token roughly equals one word the sixth thing you should know is that it's based or at least diet woke people have speculated that openai is coding a political agenda into the AI because it refused to write poems about Trump but would do so about Biden the gpt4 though didn't hesitate to spit these bars for Trump however it is 82 percent more likely to deny a disallowed prompt which is not good news for old friend do anything now Dan which is sad because the vast majority already of chat GPT users are only there to trick it into doing bad things and as a developer the final thing you should know is that you can now pass it a system message to change its Behavior if you have access to the API you can use this feature to give your chatbot its own custom Persona or context to solve a specific problem the Earth is like a pancake flattest candy not round like a ball believe you me I have a whole video about the API on my second Channel if you want to learn more I keep telling myself I'm done making videos about AI but every other day some crazy new thing comes out that the world is changing before our eyes for better or worse I just want to say that it's been an honor and a privilege learning how to code with you here on YouTube but the writing is on the wall the role of the programming teacher is now obsolete I'm just a dial-up internet connection in a world filled with 5G Towers becoming an elite programmer is no longer just about how well you can Google stuff now it's about how well you can prove to the AI and that's why you should buy my AI protein masterclass which will be available for an absurd price as soon as gpt4 is finished writing it and this has been the code report thanks for watching and I will see you in the next one maybe
