ChatGPT's Getting Smarter: 4 New Useful Features Coming To OpenAI's Chatbot

Everyone's staple artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, OpenAI's ChatGPT is evolving very quickly. With over a 100 million weekly users, ChatGPT is among the fastest-growing platforms on the internet. At OpenAI's first-ever developer conference, company CEO Sam Altman announced a host of new features coming to ChatGPT.

The AI platform will allow users to create custom GPTs (a feature already available to paid users) and protect users accused of copyright infringement, among other things. Here are four new features coming to ChatGPT soon.

1. Custom GPTs

OpenAI announced that ChatGPT Plus users would be able to train their own GPTs and that this feature could be extended to all users in the future. Such custom AI models may be seen as individual apps dedicated to one task. Custom GPTs may then be shared with other people through a link or a custom OpenAI store that is set to launch later this month.

Users don't need coding skills to set up their GPTs and there's also scope of making money from such chatbots, although it's unclear how that will work. Chatbots would essentially work for individual use cases, which sounds tremendously useful in the long-term, especially considering that such chatbots will get smarter with time.

2. GPT-4 Turbo

Currently, GPT-4 is only available to paying Plus and Enterprise users. OpenAI recently announced GPT-4 Turbo, a faster and cheaper version of GPT-4. The large language model (LLM) is trained on data up to April 2023 and is able to fit a large amount of data in the first prompt.

It has a 128KB context window, which OpenAI claims is "equivalent to more than 300 pages of text in a single prompt." For developers, it's three times cheaper - about $0.01 per 1,000 tokens wherein a token represents half a word.

3. Copyright infringement protection

OpenAI says it will protect Enterprise users who are accused of copyright infringement through a programme it's calling Copyright Shield. "We will now step in and defend our customers, and pay the costs incurred, if you face legal claims around copyright infringement," the company said. It's unclear how this will work. Nevertheless, it's a great way to urge more users to employ ChatGPT's capabilities in professional settings.

4. New Text-To-Speech API

OpenAI has developed a new text-to-speech API that was also unveiled at the event. Through this tool, developers can generate human quality speech at a cost of $0.015 per 1,000 characters.

Developers can choose from six preset voices that all sound quite realistic with different accents. This will be available to anyone who uses OpenAI ChatGPT API.
