DESIGN NOTES ON THE 2023 WIKIPEDIA REDESIGN

THE MULTI-MODAL, MULTI-MODEL, MULTI-EVERYTHING FUTURE OF AGI

OpenAI's latest artificial intelligence language model, GPT-4, has improved significantly from its last iteration, GPT-3. It can perform new tasks like math and help with taxes. GPT-4 is also considered safer, with 20-30% less hallucinations and unsafe content. It is a multimodal model that can read images and text, convert sketches of websites into code, and offer summarizations of images. Currently, access to the API is on a waitlist. The multimodal visual API capability is exclusively available only for BeMyEyes, an assistive app for the visually impaired.

The excitement around chatbots illustrates how Siri, Alexa, and other voice assistants have squandered their lead in the AI race. Many big tech companies are now racing to come up with responses to ChatGPT.
