OpenAI has allowed its ChatGPT AI to reach out into the world

[vtqhtr413]

The pace of progress at OpenAI has been absolutely dizzying in the last few months. It seems like this insanely advanced AI gets a massive overhaul with extraordinary new abilities every time we blink. These new plugins represent ChatGPT beginning to reach outside the cage it's kept in and operate in the real world. For now, its capabilities will be extremely limited, because OpenAI knows more about the potential dangers of this exceptional technology than anyone. But assuming these guys are the good guys, and they've taken the time to make sure this is done safely, GPT's massively disruptive appearance will certainly force other, less principled and less capable actors to rush to develop competing AIs and give them competing powers. The opportunities here are absolutely incredible – and the risks are unprecedented with every step this technology takes. We're well into uncharted territory at this stage, with very limited forward vision and the accelerator pedal jammed to the floor. What a time to be alive.

ChatGPT can now access the internet and run the code it writes

The move potentially heralds a big shift in how people use computers, apps, and the web, with clever AI programs completing chores on their behalf. Until now, ChatGPT has been cut off from the live internet, unable to look up recent information or interact with websites. Changing that may also help cement OpenAI’s position at the center of what could rapidly become a new era for AI and personal computing. “I think it’s a genius move,” says Linxi “Jim” Fan, an AI scientist at Nvidia who works on autonomous agents. Fan says ChatGPT’s ability to read documentation and interpret code should make the process of integrating new plugins remarkably smooth. He believes it may help OpenAI take on Apple and Google, which use their app stores to operate as gatekeepers. “The next generation of ChatGPT will be like a meta-app—an app that uses other apps,” Fan says.

Now That ChatGPT Is Plugged In, Things Could Get Weird

Letting the chatbot interact with the live internet will make it more useful—and more problematic, too.
