ChatGPT Can Now Access the Internet
ChatGPT Can Now , Access the Internet.
CNET reports that on March 23, OpenAI announced that it will be slowly introducing plugins for ChatGPT.
Though not a perfect analogy,
plugins can be 'eyes and ears' for language models, giving them access
to information that is too recent,
too personal, or too specific to be included in the training data, Via OpenAI's website.
CNET reports that the first batch
of plugins help ChatGPT to access
"new sources of live data" on the internet.
.
For example, ChatGPT can now interact with third-party sources like Expedia, Kayak and Instacart.
Previously, ChatGPT could only use its training data.
However, research indicates that giving a chatbot access to the web can be risky.
For example, it may quote unreliable sources or , "increase safety challenges by taking harmful or unintended actions, increasing the capabilities of bad actors who would defraud, mislead, or abuse others," OpenAI says.
To combat these risks, OpenAI has implemented safeguards and restricted access to a limited number of users and developers to begin with.
.
Plugins are very experimental still but we think there's something great in this direction.

Musk, an OpenAI co-founder and early investor, says he wants the company to get back to its original goal of creating AI for
the benefit of humanity, not revenue.
He also wants company co-founders
Sam Altman and Greg Brockman to
pay back any profit they received.

Now, the ChatGPT maker is calling Musk out, releasing redacted emails that seem to show him agreeing that the company needed to adopt a for-profit model to advance its projects.
This needs billions per year
immediately or forget it.
I really hope I’m wrong. , Elon Musk, via an email dated Dec. 26, 2018, provided by CNN.
He went on to suggest a $1 billion funding commitment and pledged to cover the remainder of whatever was not raised.
Musk ultimately contributed $45 million to OpenAI's funding, and $90 million was raised through other donors, CNN reports. .
He never fulfilled his promise
to fund the rest, CNN reports. .
We all understood we were going to need
a lot more capital to succeed at our mission —
billions of dollars per year, which was far
more than any of us, especially Elon, thought
we’d be able to raise as the non-profit, OpenAI, via blog post.
In 2019, OpenAI became a for-profit entity
and now has a $90 billion valuation.
Microsoft has committed
$13 billion to their cause.
We’re sad that it’s come to this with someone
whom we’ve deeply admired—someone
who inspired us to aim higher, then told us
we would fail, started a competitor,
and then sued us when we started
making meaningful progress towards
OpenAI’s mission without him, OpenAI, via blog post

But after partnering with Microsoft and receiving
a $13 billion investment, Musk alleges that the company switched to a for-profit business model.
In reality, however, OpenAI, Inc.
has been transformed into a
closed-source de facto subsidiary
of the largest technology company
in the world: Microsoft. , Via lawsuit.
Under its new board, it is not just
developing but is actually refining
an AGI to maximize profits for
Microsoft, rather than for the
benefit of humanity, Via lawsuit.
This was a stark betrayal of
the Founding Agreement, Via lawsuit.
Musk is seeking to stop OpenAI from monetizing certain technologies and would also like the court

However, opponents of the proposed
project have expressed concerns over
the environmental impact of Altman's plan. .
If it does work out, the amount
of natural resources that will be
required is just mind-boggling.
Even if the energy is renewable
(which it isn’t guaranteed to be),
the quantity of water and rare earth
minerals required is astronomical, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher
at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.
In September of 2023, 'Fortune' reported that
AI tools were responsible for a 34% spike
in Microsoft's water consumption. .

Luccioni points out that rather than
improving over time, transparency regarding
the environmental impact of AI has gotten worse.
If you look at the PaLM 1 paper
from Google, which was in 2022,
and then Palm 2 [released in May
2023], the amount of information
they provided drastically dropped, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher
at Hugging Face, via VentureBeat.
Now [companies] don’t even say
how long it took [to train], how many
chips they used, there’s absolutely
no information provided anymore, Sasha Luccioni, Climate lead and researcher

Meta, Adding Label to, AI-Generated Content .

NPR reports that AI-generated images on Instagram,
Facebook and Threads may come with a disclaimer,
clearly stating that they are not real images. .
Meta has said that the AI-generated
label will be rolled out on all of the
company's platforms in the coming months.
The decision comes amid growing pressure on tech
companies to address the potential for deception
that comes with rapidly developing AI technology.
As the difference between
human and synthetic content
gets blurred, people want to
know where the boundary lies, Nick Clegg, Meta's president of global affairs, via NPR.
People are often coming across
AI-generated content for the first
time and our users have told us
they appreciate transparency
around this new technology. , Nick Clegg, Meta's president of global affairs, via NPR.
So it's important that we
help people know when
photorealistic content they're
seeing has been created using AI, Nick Clegg, Meta's president of global affairs, via NPR.
The system relies upon invisible markers,
like metadata and watermarks, that
identify content that is generated by AI. .
The labels will reportedly apply to images
generated by AI tools owned by Google, Microsoft,
OpenAI, Adobe, Midjourney and Shutterstock. .

NPR reports that this leaves gaps
for other image generators,
including open-source AI tools.
To compensate for this, Meta said it is working on tools
that will be able to automatically detect AI-generated
content, even without watermarks or metadata.
