  • Google Vs ChatGPT: OpenAI Launches Its Own Search Tool – Here’s How It Works |

    New Delhi: OpenAI has entered the search arena and launched a powerful Google competitor called ChatGPT Search. Building on the success of its prototype, SearchGPT, this new ChatGPT-powered search tool is designed to provide users with fast, real-time answers and links to credible sources. Now, instead of turning to traditional search engines users can get instant, timely information directly from ChatGPT.

    “The benefits of a natural language interface are combined with real-time access to sports scores, news, stock quotes, and more,” explained OpenAI.

    The existing ChatGPT, also developed by OpenAI, enables web browsing based on user queries with the option to trigger searches by clicking a web search icon for instant answers. Meanwhile, ChatGPT Search, an advanced tool powered by an upgraded GPT-4 model, brings up-to-date information and images directly from web sources and links.

    Who currently has access to ChatGPT Search?

    ChatGPT Search is launching as a paid feature and it will be available to ChatGPT Plus and Team subscribers. Those on the SearchGPT waitlist will gain access starting Friday, with Enterprise and Edu users following in the next few weeks. OpenAI also plans to gradually make this feature available to all Free-tier users in the coming months.

    What makes ChatGPT Search work, and where does it get its information?

    OpenAI spokesperson Niko Felix explains that ChatGPT Search is built on a refined version of GPT-4, improved through innovative data techniques like output distillation from OpenAI’s o1-preview model, India Today reports. By integrating data from third-party search engines and select content partners, ChatGPT Search aims to deliver precise answers tailored to users’ queries.

  • ChatGPT-maker OpenAI Appoints Political Veteran Chris Lehane As Head of Global Policy: Reports |

    New Delhi: ChatGPT-maker OpenAI has appointed political veteran Chris Lehane, who is a member of the executive team at OpenAI, as its vice president of global policy, according to New York Times reports. Chris Lehane, a former policy chief at Airbnb and a member of the Clinton White House, could not be reached for comment by OpenAI when contacted by Reuters.

    This appointment comes after the Cupertino-based tech giant Apple and chip giant Nvidia are reportedly in talks to invest in OpenAI as part of a new fundraising round that could value the Microsoft-backed startup above $100 billion. Earlier in the day, the Financial Times reported that OpenAI is considering restructuring its corporate framework to be more appealing to investors.

    Lehane has also served in the Clinton White House as a lawyer and spokesperson, specializing in opposition research. He earned a reputation as “the master of disaster” during his time working for President Bill Clinton.

    A spokeswoman for OpenAI, Liz Bourgeois, said, “Just as the company is making changes in other areas of the business to scale the impact of various teams as we enter this next chapter, we recently made changes to our global affairs organization.”

  • OpenAI AI Rolls Out Advanced ChatGPT 4o Voice Mode Only For Paid Subscribers- All You Need To Know |

    New Delhi: After months of safety checks and fine-tuning, OpenAI is finally rolling out the hi-tech ChatGPT 4o voice mode for select users. The new voice mode is only available to those who signed up for the AI ​​chatbot’s premium subscription.

    The new voice mode promises a more interactive and responsive conversational experience.

    What’s New In Open AI’s ChatGPT 4o Voice Mode

    The new voice mode allows users to experience the AI ​​chatbot in a human-like conversational tone. The launch teaser demo of Voice Mode showcased ChatGPT 4o expressing a wide range of emotions, thrilling the audience with both its impressive results and quick response times. Adding further, OpenAI has achieved a breakthrough by enabling ChatGPT 4o to sing in sync across separate devices.

    The advanced Voice Mode features new preset voices—Juniper, Breeze, Cove, and Ember—developed in collaboration with professional voice actors.

    ChatGPT Plus subscribers in the alpha group will receive notifications about the Voice Mode update on the ChatGPT app. Adding further, they will receive an email with detailed instructions on setting up and using the new Voice Mode.

    Open AI Faces Back Lash

    The Open AI has faced backlash when Open AI’s ChatGpt 4o Voice mode feature used a voice that seemed quite similar to Scarlett Johansson’s voice for the character Samantha in the film Her.

    The actor eventually took legal action against the company. Despite the claims, OpenAI denied using Johansson’s voice. It is thought that OpenAI later removed the voice from its demo.

  • ChatGPT Maker OpenAI Launches New Search Engine ‘SearchGPT’ To Take On Google Search; Here’s How It Works |

    New Delhi: OpenAI, an artificial intelligence company behind the chatbot ChatGPT, has finally launched its AI search engine called SearchGPT. With this, the Microsoft-backed AI chatbot Open AI will try to take on Google Search. The new feature is currently in the ‘prototype’ stage which is accessible to only a small group of users.

    The company plans to integrate its capabilities into ChatGPT in the near future. It is important to note that tech companies have been exploring various use cases of generative AI that could be integrated into the everyday tech ecosystem of users since the unveiling of ChatGPT in 2022.

    In a blog post about the new search feature, OpenAI wrote, “We’re testing SearchGPT, a prototype of new search features designed to combine the strength of our AI models with information from the web to give you fast and timely answers with clear and relevant sources.”

    What is OpenAI SearchGPT?

    SearchGPT is an AI-powered search engine designed to provide direct answers to your queries. Instead of traditional search results, you simply enter what you’re looking for into a large search box, and you receive a detailed, step-by-step response, complete with related images.

    How Does OpenAI SearchGPT Works?

    Understanding the Query: The system uses AI, specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP) and in-house GPT Large Language Models, to grasp the context and intent behind your query.

    Generating the Answer and Scanning Web Results: It formulates an appropriate answer by scanning web results to gather relevant information.

    Summarizing Information with Source Links: The system summarizes the relevant web results and provides links to the sources next to each piece of information.

    Sidebar for Related Results: Additional related results with source links are conveniently available in a sidebar for further exploration.

    Interactive Chatbot Interface and Future Integration: Interactions occur in a chatbot-like interface, allowing follow-up questions and conversations. This functionality will be integrated into ChatGPT in the future for easier access.

  • ChatGPT Answers Went ‘Undetected’, Secured Better Grades Than Students, Study Finds |

    New Delhi: Exam graders could have trouble spotting answers generated by AI-based chatbots, researchers said after their study found that these answers not only went undetected but were also graded better than those written by students.

    On behalf of 33 ‘fake students’, the researchers at the University of Reading, UK, submitted answers generated by ChatGPT to the examinations system of the School of Psychology and Clinical Language Sciences of the same university.

    The team found that 94 per cent of the AI-written answers went undetected. Further, about 83 per cent of the chatbot’s answers secured better scores than real students’ submissions.

    “We found that within this system, 100 per cent AI-written submissions were virtually undetectable and very consistently gained grades better than real student submissions,” the authors wrote in the study published in the journal PLoS ONE.

    The researchers said their findings should be a “wakeup call” for educators across the world and called for the global education sector to evolve in the face of artificial intelligence.”Many institutions have moved away from traditional exams to make assessment more inclusive.

    Our research shows it is of international importance to understand how AI will affect the integrity of educational assessments,” lead researcher Peter Scarfe, an associate professor at the University of Reading, said.

  • Elon Musk says an X phone with Samsung as a potential partner is not out of the question |

    New Delhi: Taking on the Apple-OpenAI collaboration in a big way, tech billionaire Elon Musk said on Tuesday that his own X phone is a possibility with Samsung as a potential partner which cannot be ruled out, as he slammed the integration of ChatGPT in iPhones and other Apple devices.

    Reacting to an X user who claimed that “X will partner with Samsung to manufacture an X phone” which will be optimised for the X app, offer an open-source operating system (OS) and a “direct connection to Starlink”, Musk said, “it is not out of the question”.

    Musk earlier said that it is “patently absurd” that Apple isn’t smart enough to make its own AI, “yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy”.

    It’s patently absurd that Apple isn’t smart enough to make their own AI, yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy!

    Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river. — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 10, 2024

    “Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO added. Apple is yet to comment on Musk’s allegations.

    Earlier in the day, Musk threatened to ban iPhones from all his companies over the integration of ChatGPT into iPhones and other Apple devices. Apple on Monday announced that in iOS 18, users will be able to ask Siri questions and OpenAI’s ChatGPT will answer.

    Musk posted on X that if Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, “Apple devices will be banned at my companies”. “That is an unacceptable security violation,” Musk added.

  • Apple iOS 18 Feature: Ignore or Accept Phone Calls by Shaking Your Head |

    New Delhi: Tim Cook-led company Apple unveiled iOS 18 at its WorldWide Developer Conference 2024 (WWDC) with a host of new features which include its debut into the world of AI with Apple Intelligence, a major AI-powered revamp of Siri, and the introduction of iOS 18, iPadOS 18, VisionOS 2, macOS Sequoia and WatchOS11.

    Moreover, the tech giant also announced a partnership with OpenAI, bringing ChatGPT to its devices. With the launch of iOS 18, the iPhone now becomes smarter and customise as per your requirements. These include customizing the iPhone to your liking, new ways to manage the inbox in the Mail app, using satellites to send messages, and more. One standout feature is the ability for users to ignore phone calls by shaking their heads.

    Nod Your Head to Accept or Ignore Phone Calls on AirPods Pro

    At Apple’s WWDC 2024 mega event, a new and dynamic feature has been introduced with the iOS 18 update. If you are wearing the second generation of AirPods Pro, you’ll be able to interact with Siri by nodding or shaking your head. So, if you don’t want to answer a phone call, you can simply shake your head to do so.

    Moreover, if you need to be quiet because the baby is sleeping, or your partner is on an important phone call, you can keep Siri working without saying a word. Hence, you can command Siri to ignore the phone call by shaking your head. This feature can be very useful for people who are very busy and don’t have time to check their phones repeatedly. With this feature, they can easily ignore unnecessary calls without wasting their time.

    Notably, the tech giant Apple is branding this as a “new era” for its smart assistant Siri, which was launched 13 years ago. The Cupertino-based tech giant says that Siri will now have more richer language-understanding capabilities, making it more contextually relevant and personal. Apple Intelligence will also allow Siri to take several new actions across Apple and third-party apps.

    What’s New in iOS 18?

    ChatGPT Integrated Into Siri

    Access to ChatGPT is integrated into Siri and systemwide Writing Tools across Apple’s platforms, allowing users to access its expertise — as well as its image- and document-understanding capabilities — without needing to jump between tools.

    iMessage receives all-new text effects

    Users can better express tone by adding formatting like bold, underline, italics, and strike through.

    Messages via satellite

    iOS 18 introduces Messages via satellite for the times when cellular and Wi-Fi connections aren’t available.

    Customization

    iPhone users have new ways to customise the Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Control Center. Now you can arrange apps and widgets in any open space on the Home Screen.

    Unified View For Photos

    A simplified, single view displays a familiar grid, and new collections help users browse by themes without having to organise content into albums. Plus, collections can be pinned to keep favourites easily accessible.

    Enhancements to Mail

    Mail also features a new digest view that pulls together all of the relevant emails from a business, allowing users to quickly scan for what’s important in the moment. Apple said, later this year, Mail will introduce new ways for users to manage their inboxes and stay up to date.

    Major Updates to Safari

    Safari can surface key information about a webpage. Users. for example, can review a summary to get the gist of an article; quickly see the location of a restaurant, hotel, or landmark; or listen to an artist’s track right from an article about the song or album.

    Passwords App

    Passwords app makes it easy for users to access their passwords, passkeys, Wi-Fi passwords, and verification codes.

    New Privacy Features

    iOS 18 gives users even more control with tools to manage who can see their apps, how contacts are shared, and how their iPhone connects to accessories. iOS 18 puts users in control by letting them choose to share only specific contacts with an app.

    Apple Intelligence

    With brand-new systemwide Writing Tools built into iOS 18, users can rewrite, proofread, and summarise text nearly everywhere they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps.

  • OpenAI Never Clawed Back Any Employee’s Vested Equity: CEO Sam Altman |

    Altman said that they would never do this “if people do not sign a separation agreement (or don’t agree to a non-disparagement agreement)”. “Vested equity is vested equity, full stop,” he posted on X social media platform.

    in regards to recent stuff about how openai handles equity:

    According to him, there was a provision about potential equity cancellation in the company’s previous exit documents. “Although we never clawed anything back, it should never have been something we had in any documents or communication. This is on me and one of the few times I’ve been genuinely embarrassed running OpenAI. I did not know this was happening and I Should have,” he explained.

    Altman said that the team was already in the process of fixing the standard exit paperwork over the past month or so. “If any former employee who signed one of those old agreements is worried about it, they can contact me and we’ll fix that too. Very sorry about this,” he posted.
