OpenAI ‘Turbo-Charges’ GPT With Personalized Traits, Will Assume Copyright Fees

ChatGPT, the de facto personal assistant enlisted by 100 million people each week, has become more adept at waiting on users hand and foot. On Monday, the chatbot’s creator OpenAI announced GPT-4 Turbo, its most powerful artificial intelligence model to date that lets you easily customize ChatGPT to become uniquely yours.
During the same unveiling, the organization revealed that the price to use GPT-4 Turbo will be cheaper than that of GPT-4, and that users can soon list their own modified models on its version of the App Store—as well as make money doing so. With the advance of AI complicating matters to do with intellectual property, OpenAI also said it would foot the legal costs of members who get entangled in copyright disputes for using its offerings.
GPT-4 Turbo
Until GPT-4 Turbo, the latest the AI model could gather information from was January 2022. Now, everything it knows stops in April 2023. The tool is accessible by developers and will roll out to the general public in the coming weeks.
“We are just as annoyed as all of you, probably more, that GPT’s knowledge about the world ended in 2021,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the audience at a keynote in San Francisco. With the update, ChatGPT could now be able to tell you about, say, Terran 1—the world’s first rocket constructed from extensive 3D printing—and its launch on Thursday, March 23, 2023.
GPT-4 Turbo can now take in 300 pages worth of input, as opposed to the roughly 3,000 words its predecessor accepted. As CNBC points out, that allows users to use it to condense entire books.
Not only that, but GPT-4 Turbo is also more cost-effective than GPT-4, with input tokens going for US$0.01 (three times cheaper) and output tokens priced at US$0.03 (two times cheaper).
Personalized Chatbots for Everyone
GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home — and then share that creation with others. No code required. https://t.co/SPV4TcMiQw pic.twitter.com/PcmorZwtMF

Now, anyone—not just enterprises—can customize ChatGPT to their needs. Best of all, no coding experience is needed.
“GPTs are a new way for anyone to create a tailored version of ChatGPT to be more helpful in their daily life, at specific tasks, at work, or at home—and then share that creation with others,” OpenAI explains in a blog post. “For example, GPTs can help you learn the rules to any board game, help teach your kids math, or design stickers.”
The company explains that ChatGPT can be adapted for personal, internal, or general use. Personalizing it is as seamless as talking to the bot, it adds.
“Creating one is as easy as starting a conversation, giving it instructions and extra knowledge, and picking what it can do, like searching the web, making images or analyzing data.”
Copyright Protection
At the event, Altman stated that the organization will “step in and defend our customers” and indemnify them if they “face legal claims around copyright infringement.”
OpenAI joins other AI-powered tech giants like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and Shutterstock in their promises to protect users who find themselves on the wrong side of the law for using their tools.
More Productive Tools on OpenAI’s GPT Store
With a newfound ease of customization, developers will now be empowered to design new GPT-powered apps—and then share them on the new GPT Store, OpenAI’s version of Apple’s App Store that’s arriving later this month. Notably, creators can also earn from their tailored GPTs according to usage numbers.
