OpenAI, the founders of popular AI chatbot ChatGPT, have announced their new, \u200b\u2018human powered\u2019 GPT\u20116\u00a0model.<\/p>\n
The new update will see users\u2019 queries answered by 10,000,000 human employees, who will be allocated desks in the Stargate US data centres across the USA, while water cooling systems previously used for servers will now be adapted to drinkable water fountains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It comes as users have reported high numbers of \u200b\u2018hallucinations\u2019, where previous computer-generated answers have falsified information. The company faced a\u00a0defamation lawsuit in 2023, after radio journalist Mark Walters sued OpenAI<\/a> over false embezzlement claims\u2009\u2014\u2009which the company ultimately won\u2009\u2014\u2009while yesterday (March 31) publishing giant Penguin filed a\u00a0lawsuit<\/a> over copyright infringement, alleging that ChatGPT reproduced a\u00a0series of its childrne\u2019s books.<\/p>\n There have also been concerns over safeguarding of users, with concerns raised over \u200b\u201cchatbot psychosis\u201d, where vulnerabilities users develop paranoia and delusion after using an AI chatbot.<\/p>\n The company hope that employees who are taught \u200b\u201creal research skills\u201d will be more proficient at spotting mistakes than its previous LLM model, while also being more aware of potential harm that people may\u00a0face.<\/p>\n Those who ask ChatGPT to generate an image will now be answered by a\u00a0member of OpenAI\u2019s art team, who will create the image either through drawing an image to fit the brief, or setting up a\u00a0photoshoot if specified as a\u00a0photograph. Loading times are expected to increase, with the company predicting \u200b\u201cthree to five business days\u201d at launch, which they hope to cut down within the first year of operation.<\/p>\n Sam Altman, OpenAI\u2019s CEO announced the new update in a\u00a0press conference. He said: \u200b\u201cWe are delighted to announce our latest update to ChatGPT\u2009\u2014\u2009GPT\u20116\u2009\u2014\u2009which should improve accuracy in search query results, while also allowing us to take a\u00a0more human approach to care for our users. It providing 10,000,000 new jobs to ordinary Americans in a\u00a0time of economic struggle.<\/p>\n \u201cHuman cognition is an incredibly powerful but underutilised technology. We\u2019re excited to finally scale it. We believe this model unlocks incredible economic potential by connecting millions of humans directly to prompts,\u201d he continued. \u200b\u201cWe\u2019ve trained our human models on a\u00a0wide range of sources including books, lived experience, and occasionally touching grass.\u201d<\/p>\n Kim, 32, a\u00a0reformed ChatGPT user, welcomed the change. She said: \u200b\u201cIt\u2019s exciting. I\u00a0have become tired of LLM-generated slop filling my feeds, and I\u2019m excited for a\u00a0human touch to return to art and writing. While the launch of ChatGPT made me think, I\u00a0ultimately realised that everything I\u00a0was looking at was hollow. It\u2019s good to see people make art and write literature again.\u201d<\/p>\n Al Goritham is Huck\u2019s roving tech correspondent<\/strong><\/p>\n Buy your copy of Huck <\/strong>83<\/strong> <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?
