Plug-ins and Internet access
ChatGPT, the OpenAI chatbot, has evolved significantly from the first release GPT-3.5 to the latest GPT-4, intended for ChatGPT Plus subscribers. But the chatbot has just passed a new major step, let us explain it to you
ChatGPT, the chatbot developed by OpenAI, has gone through several milestones in its development. Its initial availability with GPT-3.5, and then the launch of GPT-4, available only to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, were significant milestones. Testing has been done by some power users, and the platform has been optimized to meet regulatory requirements, especially in Europe where GDPR could have hindered ChatGPT development if appropriate measures were not taken. taken.
In fact, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) imposes strict rules on the way users’ personal data is processed. This means that ChatGPT must be designed in a way that respects these rules, for example by ensuring that users’ data is stored securely and allowing them to control the use of their data. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in ChatGPT being banned from operating in Europe.
Today, OpenAI has taken it a step further by not only launching its own iPhone app, but also making significant changes to how ChatGPT works, including plug-in integration and Internet access.
Extras: such as superpowers
ChatGPT plug-ins are custom widget-like modules that can be integrated into a chatbot to improve user experience and add new features. Thanks to these plugins, you can adapt your chatbot to your own needs.
Whether you work in hospitality, retail, or education, you can customize ChatGPT to suit a variety of use cases. For example, it can perform specific tasks like booking flights or buying groceries. Although the current supply of plug-ins is somewhat disorganized, OpenAI is improving their management. Think of it as an app store, like the iPhone. There, we are rather in the first steps of the App Store…
Internet access: an updated information resource
One limitation of ChatGPT is that its knowledge base is discontinued in 2021. Although it can be enriched by user contributions, it quickly becomes outdated. Internet access allows ChatGPT to overcome this limitation by allowing it to summarize recent articles, search for recent studies, or retrieve updated financial data.
For example, you can ask it to look up recent changes in gas prices. For developers, this also means that ChatGPT can use newer technical documentation. In addition, ChatGPT can cite its sources, and provide links to information you use, such as Google Bard or Bing Chat.
However, there are still limitations to this feature. It may be slow and experience errors, as the ChatGPT bot may be blocked on certain pages. She only consults a few sources, and this may limit her analysis. Moreover, ChatGPT only consults English-language sources, which is also an important limitation.
