ChatGPT4, Brief Thoughts on the Livestream Demo

-
Created with Microsoft Bing Image Creator powered by DALL-E


OpenAI just did a livestream on ChatGPT 4 and its new capabilities (see here for the livestream on Youtube). 

        In summary, OpenAI showcased ChatGPT 4's improved ability in coding, its ability to describe a photo/picture into words, and turn this photo/picture into something else (such as a website designed from a rough drawing of what the website should look like). They also showed off ChatGPT 4's advanced ability to do math and explain the proof in solving equations. 

        These changes clearly offer significant improvements that are useful in many varied situations. Turning mere pictures into words, or handwriting into words, will greatly improve record keeping abilities as well as more niche subjects like helping blind people understand what is on a picture. Its ability to solve advanced math and describe the process of proof has rather significant implications for schools handing out math homework as well! 

        It is increasingly looking as if those who are most skilled at using ChatGPT to its fullest will benefit the most in their jobs. For instance, instead of setting up a website manually, all one needs now is to be skilled at prompting ChatGPT to create a website based on a drawn picture blueprint, or finding sources that provide such prompts. Libraries of such useful prompts and learning how best to access, find, and adapt these prompts will greatly improve efficiency both in the workplace and for other personal matters. 

        However, there is also the concern on how much more powerful such AI's ability to analyze and describe pictures can become. For instance, facial-recognition imagery is already an issue to privacy rights: with more powerful algorithms for detecting details in a picture, it may be feasible for ChatGPT to be able to identify not only a person's identity, but also their location in the picture. This may lead to the ability to quickly and easily track a person's geolocational activity through CCTV camera footage using these technologies. Although it is doubtful such an ability will be available to the public any time soon, partly due to the lack of access to such widespread footage (and OpenAI's regulation of such misuse), such misuse is nonetheless a possibility that we should be wary of.

Seeking ChatGPT's Insight: Are the Biden Administration's 'Trump-Proofing' Efforts Legally and Morally Justifiable?

-

  Recently, polls indicate that former President Trump's chances for returning to Presidency have become increasingly likely. Given this, there have been rising attempts over the past year by the Biden administration to "Trump-proof" matters so that if Trump is re-elected, he will be unable to (or at least have difficulty in) reversing or nullifying the current policy and agreements.  I decided to ask ChatGPT on this topic because I was curious on whether these efforts by the Biden administration would be successful in restraining Trump, or even whether such actions were morally and legally viable. My doubts arose because actions taken to completely deny or restrain future Presidents from changing policy or agreements (generally speaking), especially if such measures came from Executive Orders, seem to be against the democratic spirit even if they are meant to protect against possible abuse of presidential power.  My question to ChatGPT: Do you believe that the Biden admi

ChatGPT's Age-related Slogans for Biden, Trump, and Desantis.

          Looking at the upcoming US presidential elections, two of the three (as of now) nominees seem to face questions over whether they are 'too old' to run. At 80 years old, Biden is the oldest president to serve, with Trump similarly advanced in years at 76. Compared to them, DeSantis at 44 years old is far younger. Given this potential point of debate, I asked ChatGPT 4 to theorize how these presidential candidates might defend their positions or attack their opponents on the topic of age, as well as to generate possible political slogans they could use relating to this. Here is the political strategies ChatGPT suggested, as well as some creative slogans it came up with. Keep in mind, the entire following article and slogans were generated by ChatGPT, with no edits by myself aside from the initial prompting and guiding (through more prompts) to arrive at this result.  ChatGPT 4.0:  Title: Age as a Tool: Politicking in the Prime of Life and Beyond           In today's

Unraveling the WGA’s MBA with ChatGPT: Expert Analysis or Algorithmic Bias Towards Legalese?

-

On Oct 9, the Writers Guild of America (WGA) overwhelmingly voted in favour of ratifying the 2023 Minimum Basic Agreement (MBA), which will apply until May 1, 2026. While most news outlets have reported on this as a major win for the writers guild, I grew curious on whether there were any shortcomings in the agreement since the the entertainment industry’s capitulation seemed to come quite abruptly compared to their former hardline opposition to any concessions. Since I am not a legal expert on contract law, I turned to ChatGPT instead to see if it could provide a fresh perspective. Given that the WGA provided both the complete 2023 MBA as well as a summary, I chose to try inputting both into ChatGPT, focusing particularly on the Artificial Intelligence clauses. However, the results made me ponder whether ChatGPT’s analysis might be influenced by bias or randomness.
