OpenAI is revolutionizing artificial intelligence with its plugins for ChatGPT. They provide up-to-date information and allow calculations to be made. This is the future of human-AI interaction.

Here's what you need to know:

  • Plugins for ChatGPT are being rolled out gradually. They allow ChatGPT to access up-to-date information, perform calculations or use third-party services. Several companies have already created plugins for ChatGPT.

  • These companies include Expedia, FiscalNote, Instacart, KAYAK, Klarna, Milo, OpenTable, Shopify, Slack, Speak, Wolfram, and Zapier.

    Their plugins allow you to make reservations, orders, price comparisons and more.

  • OpenAI also hosts two plugins, a web browser and a code interpreter. They also open-sourced the code for a knowledge base retrieval plugin, allowing any developer to use it to augment ChatGPT.

  • Access to these plugins will initially be limited to a small number of ChatGPT Plus developers and users. However, OpenAI plans to roll out access on a larger scale over time.

OpenAI is aware that plugins could have significant societal implications.

So they launched a researcher access program to study security risks and mitigations.

  • OpenAI also launched an experimental model, Browsing Alpha, which knows when and how to browse the internet. This increases the amount of content that language models can discuss, going beyond training data.

To conclude, the introduction of plugins for ChatGPT marks an important step in the development of language models. They open the door to a multitude of new uses, while putting safety at the heart of their design.
