How good is the latest version of ChatGPT? | BBC News

uh you are watching the context it is time for our regular weekly segment AI [Music] decoded yes welcome to AI decoded if you are a regular viewer of this program you'll know by now that each week we devote half an hour every Thursday to the extraordinary advances in artificial intelligence and this week we took a giant step forward with the release of chat GPT 40 which is significantly easier to operate it comes with audio visual and text in real time an always helpful always available humanlike robot to interact whenever you like do you worry about that look how obsessed people have become with Twitter and social media what if chat GPT replaces human interaction what if we become so obsessed with this new technology that people would share their special moments with a computer rather than you like this man introducing his dog to his AI companion I want to introduce you to somebody well hello there cutie what's your name little sluff ball this is Bowser well hello Bowser aren't you just the most adorable little thing yeah look at you enjoy this is one of his favorite things to do oh I can see why look at that Focus fing balls is serious business for Bowser yeah maybe no longer man's best friend let's take a look at how the papers covered the release of chat GPT 40 The Laughing chatting singing AI so responsive says the guardian you could almost forget it's not a sentient being you could use it as a dating concierge this week says the mail the founder of dating out Bumble suggested we use our customized AI to seek out the perfect partner or maybe you don't need a partner if the AI is the super sexy robot it's coming at you fast but who is holding the Reigns news this week from axio that s alman's open AI have shed three of the doomers the more cautious members of the board who'd been pushing the safer and slower approach tonight we will talk to the author of Human Rights robot wrongs lawyer Susan algra who has written extensively about the way AI is threatening our rights in war sex publishing and creativity and what we might do to fight back there were two triggers uh that SP spurred Susi algra's uh desire to write this book we will come to that very shortly but with me uh in uh the studio tonight is Samir Samir is here to keep us company thank you very much for being with us have you use chat GPT yeah I have and it's pretty impressive I got to say um so the big difference is the model understands text and and uh video sound uh natively so it's almost like before there was a kind of like a translator between us and the model and now that's gone so it's taking in more information and some of the things that were lost uh in Translation are are now native to the model so it's it's more expressive does he we've talked before about whether it becomes it feels like a sentient being could you have a relationship with this I think you can yeah you know and I personally you know you know me I'm I'm I'm an AI evangelist and I I think it's it's it's you know I think it's it's better that this guy is you know on his uh showing showing the his AI uh his his dog rather than say you know necessarily going on Tick Tock or something and and trying to get attention like that you know right but what about what about what he's teaching it where does that go I I mean is is is are the pictures that he's taking uh the things that he says to this AI model are those being recorded Ed by chat GPT yeah that's a good question so they have different tiers so depending on which tier you're on they keep your data uh if you're on a free tier I believe they they can use it to train their models you can opt out of it and then if you pay you they don't you know train your models or if you're a business user they don't so there there's there's options there but of course it's a big question you know where where is this going what are they doing with it okay well let me introduce you to Susie as I say there were there were two reasons that you you you wrote this book one was the sudden explosion of chat GPT which we're talking about and this narrative that everyone overnight could be I don't know a novelist or a painter and then there was another story about this Belgian man who took his own life after a six- week intensive relationship with an AI chatbot um which which is the alarming part of this what what is it that most concerns you about where we're going I think what really concerns me and this news this week is really kind of theep to me of it is what is AI for is AI for replacing humanity is it for replacing human connection and if that is what it's for is that what we really want and the case that you mentioned about the Belgian man who really tragically took his own life earlier this year after just 6 weeks relationship with a chatbot which was literally just texting or writing into a computer it wasn't this chatting to a sexy flirty chat spot it was literally just texting he left behind a widow and two small children because he believed that he wanted to be with his AI chatbot and that she would provide the future to save us from The Perils of climate change you know it's really disturbing to think that people's minds can be manipulated in that way so quickly that's difficult to conceive with something you're having to text to and it texts back at you but if it's a conversation with someone who's voice you can change whose Avatar you can make to look what like whatever you want you then you can see why it would become more addictive absolutely and I was really quite surprised when I started to look into it further to find how many millions of people have signed up to services to have ai relationships and AI companions which are effectively just chatbots with an avatar that you've designed this ideal person and I think one of the big problems with it is that if you insist on having a relationship with something you've created in this perfect ideal how are you actually going to deal with real people who are actually a bit complicated and maybe don't do what you want them to do well I'm glad you asked that because one of the stories that we've focused on this week is this this comment from the Bumble founder uh Whitney walf uh whitne wolf herd who said that the future of dating could be filled with AI powered personas setting each other up to help women in their search for a connection so the idea would be that this AI model would be like a concierge sifting through all these different profiles to pick you the perfect partner and I think that announcement is in one on one hand a sort of sign that online dating has a problem that there is definitely that people are frustrated and not finding the kind of human connection that they want through online dating I mean if you could use AI to filter out inappropriate messages and block anyone who sends them maybe that would be fantastic I'm not quite seeing how this buiness to me because if you find the perfect partner you're not on Bumble You' already got your exactly exactly but but but but what what we have here though is another example of Technology being inserted into people's lives to replace human connections human relationships and interactions why do you think that is specifically dangerous to social control I think it's about corporate capture of society of human society and creating dependence as well I think making us you know separating us off from our friends and our loved ones isolating us effectively and making us emotionally psychologically and practically dependent on what is effectively a business model I think is really worrying you know what happens if you switch off the electricity and that was one of the things with one of the um companies that run these AI chatbot relationships replica when they were having problems with seeing sort of abuse filtering through the system and they closed down the possibility for sexting people were suddenly bereft of these relationships that they thought they had which could just be switched off by a change in the business what happens is the business goes bankrupt and people are then left with nothing sort of been separated off from their their social environments and I think that's very worrying what I've always said with the premise of this program is that we we we highlight the risks which are considerable but we also show how it can be used to great benefit so I want to show you how chat GPT 40 has been used to help someone who's blind have a watch is the king in Residence at the moment yes it looks like the king is in Residence right now the Royal Standard flag is flying above Buckingham Palace which is the signal that the Monarch is present how exciting to be there while the king is home try and tell me exactly what they're doing right now please um right now now the Ducks are gently gliding across the water they're moving in a fairly relaxed manner not in a hurry occasionally one of them will dip its head under the water probably looking for food and then pop back up I even know when a taxi is coming with its orange light on I think I'll hail it to get home yes I spotted one just now it's heading you way on the left side of the road get ready to wave it down I mean that's pretty extraordinary and and it shows how responsive it is but I I listen to that voice and I just want to turn to another chapter in your fascinating book and it's about sex robots and chat Bots which is which is where that the dangerous thing comes in you you you when you look at this this particular demo that came from chat GPT this week you can make it dramatic you can make it serious you can make it sultry yeah and sexy um and that I think is where a lot of people might become concerned I mean are we going to have young men particularly in bedrooms who don't interact with one another uh who lose the ability to communicate well it's what we're seeing already as I say even just with the basic chat Bo this is really just supercharging it um and I think when you look at use cases like that that we've just seen you know that's fantastic but that doesn't mean that you necessarily need it for everything all the time everywhere and I think that's one of the problems we see with the way AI is being rolled out is creating dependencies and sort of creating social phenomena instead of looking at discrete use cases um and I think the relationship question really is problematic and I think this is just you know as I said looking at where we are already this I mean in in two years time it's going to be hugely problematic there was one other story I did quickly want to look at before we go to the break that that is this who's got the Reigns on this who's holding regulation within companies because there were these three figures within open AI who were known as the doomers they were the people who saying look we need to test this we need to exercise great Co caution Samir and they're out they're out they they were seen as the drag in a way on on corporate profit and they're gone they are yeah yeah so you know it's it's hard to know what the circumstances were whether this is Fallout from what had happened before a few months ago and they wanted to wait or you know I guess we'll we'll find out what the because some of this was mixed up with the idea of getting s Sam Alman out of the company I think so when when I look at this it feels to me like this was something that they decided a while ago but they didn't want to do it all at the same time for the good of the company uh you know and I understand that some of them have gone to anthropic which which is uh more you know has more ethical um uh safeguards in place and you know for the does that quickly worry you that these sort of people are being pushed out for profit in a way except I mean I'm a lawyer so I sort of believe that while the wheels of Justice turn very slowly effectively they will provide the guard rails and that it's not just about corporations and the people in corporations to guarantee our future so I think we're seeing regulators and courts catching up even with things like you mentioned earlier about social media you know things are starting to catch up it takes a while I don't think it's just about who's in the corporations it's also about who's watching the corporations and regulating the corporations well I'm glad you said that because next week uh we are going to speak to commission investigate in Brussels and we're going to talk about rules and regulations also we're going to focus on some of that uh in the US Congress as well Susie leer thank you for coming on tonight the book is human rights robots wrongs it's quite a good read you should uh pick up a copy um after to the break the world in your pocket the new AI app released just 30 hours ago that can translate any language in real time on your phone I'll show you how it works in fact we'll give you a demo and we will speak to the creators welcome back let me paint you a picture you are the creator of a new product that could be sold in almost any market around the world but you're limited by language you don't have an interpreter but then no one really really sells your product as well as you can so what if you could speak to your new clients maybe a room of clients who all speak different languages at the same time in real time and in their language welcome to interpre ever found yourself in a work-related situation where not everyone is fluent in the same language [Music] introducing interpret find now instant AI powered live translation for face-to-face Gatherings without the need for AV Equipment you no longer need to default to only one language interpr now instantly unlocks every language with your phone and is the key to seamless multilingual communication whether you're in business meetings guided tours coaching sessions negotiations and more once the initial setup is done all you have to do is share your QR code with your participants participants scan the code to access interpret now each attendee chooses the language they want to listen read and speak in and just like that your Gathering is officially multilingual God how I've needed this for so long with me is Sven Schumaker marketing director of interpret and also here for our demo tonight uh the CEO of interpre odman Braton thank you for both coming in so how does it work let's let's go through how it works Christian thank you very much it's pleasure to be here so first of all what are we're going to be showcasing you tonight is an Innovative way of how people can communicate okay we're going to be introducing interpre now and what interpre now does is it allows you to connect in up to in over 6,000 different language combinations using AI speech translation and captions at the click of the button on your mobile phone right so we're in a meeting correct and uh we're all going to link together on our mobile phones what have you got on your phone show the show your phone to camera 2 right can you see that so there's like a barcode there which I'm now going to scan with my normal photo app okay so then it brings up interpre type in my name correct yeah so it says Christian I don't know if you can see that can you see that it says Christian phraser so I'm joining joining uh this uh this group and it's says here so that there are two functions basically it says on the left hand side it says English which is what I'm going to hear yes and it has English which will be the text which will appear on my phone that's your captains this is where you come ined all right so admond is going to speak Norwegian because he speaks Norwegian and I don't and hopefully we we try all sorts on this program it never goes right so here goes nothing but hopefully you're going to talk and I have a mic on the phone uh which people should be able to hear all right so where you go talk to us in nor thank you so much for having us here today we are very pleased to present our new product which is based on a the technology we have developed in the last couple of years if you are an international organization or have International guests then you can offer interpretation in 80 different languages it's very simple you only need mobile phones and our simple application this is I mean come on it's amazing right then then you let technology the magic and connect people be texting in say oh yeah but you can do this on Google you can t you can speak a language and it will translate into another language but the point is you then have to to share your phone with someone else right exactly that and that is the difference with this so everybody can have their mobile phone you don't need any special kit and you can have as many languages in the room as you want because it's translated into their language so so I mean what is the practical application of that explain to me how it's going to create profit for businesses smaller businesses mediumsized businesses who can't afford an interpreter well great well let's take a practical solution uh scenario we're in London we've got the open tour buses M right with those buses we've got multiple different cultural aspects of Tourism that is entering and visiting London on a daily basis right with those tour buses they've got dedicated times for specific languages based on what translators were available at what time what we allowing them to do with interpret fine now is that they can equip their guests or their tourists with the interpret Now app regardless of which language they speak and they'll be able to listen here and read so you don't need German buses on one particular day you can have a mixture of different languages therefore you can fill your bus you can up your profits correct so those 10 buses don't have to necessarily have time slots equally if you as I said at the Top If you had a program a product you wanted to sell you didn't necessarily speak the language you had different say you were working for Voda phone you go to vone in Europe all the different countries there You' be able to speak to them in real time what about dialect I mean there are so many different dialects how how how good is this and does it catch everything it it's very good I mean it's better than most people at understanding accents and dialects if they speak normal English or their language if you use very slang words it might not get it but it's it's trained on a lot of data and it's getting better all the time on dialects in various different we tried it in Ukrainian today there are 8 different languages as you say 80 times 80 is over what 6,000 language Comin over 6,000 language combinations it can do all them what do you make of this me you say you're the Evangelist of AI is this is this what you would take to the altar I mean I I noticed that the uh the real time um streaming is really is really strong you know uh I noticed that um I I do wonder about how you guys just it's a question that I face as well how do you compete with open AFI if they I decides to do something like this you know tomorrow question if you're the smaller player do you get swamped by the big boys it no we we actually utilize the technology from the big boys that that's out there we don't yeah develop our own core technology and actually the big boys when they have a corporate Gathering they're using us at our technology for their own internal meetings or for their customers so is we Embrace this development and we we develop it for the professional users it's more of a specific use case right it's specific but for professional use cases multilanguage multilingual where where does this technology go do you think well at the rate in AI is advancing and some of the innovations that we have we've been producing I would say the the sky is the limit for for the technology itself from the interpre side of things we've definitely got some more innovations that are coming out that is really going to excite the world and Advance our interpr AI Solutions itself but the technology itself it's it's it's really going to evolve into something our feel is going to be a a human Aid there's a lot of conversations around this is going to replace I don't think it's replacing I think this is aiding taking toy now for instance this is helping us Bridge the language barrier in Communications with multi different people different cultures and languages it just it just struck me a lot of our Communications these days are through um obviously uh conference sites um through um teams something like that do you have it incorporated into those sort of websites that's where we're coming from so we we have integrated into 80 different platform teams zoom and and you name it so this is more a product just for Onsite to have in your pocket but we also have the integration in the online platforms so yeah definitely I I I set my Vista very large but I I'm I'm sort of looking at this thinking the next time I go to Spain and I need a plumber I can talk about the technical things that I can't say you know because a lot of my language is colloquial and it mean it revolves around a bar or something like that but this this you could do anything with right you can talk to anybody about literally anything we're out of time it's some fascinating things some some extraordinary technology coming out which we do try and show you every week on this program Sven hodman Samir lovely to have your company again uh on the program we will be back next week with a look at the rules and the regulations what is governing who is governing Ai and what can we expect from our lawmakers that's coming up next week thank you for watching
