OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Wants to 'Revamp' ChatGPT Again | iTech ...
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is considering a "revamp" of ChatGPT once again as the AI company continues to introduce new versions of its chatbot. After launching their latest cost-effective small model, ChatPGT-4o Mini, Altman noted a suggestion about the need for a "naming scheme revamp".
Unlike its predecessors, the GPT-4 model now features the highest number of sub-models as OpenAI focuses on developing its upcoming release, the GPT-5 model. The expansion of OpenAI's services has led to the introduction of more specialized GPT versions, causing confusion in the product's naming structure.
Despite recognizing this issue, Altman has not revealed any plans to rebrand their chatbot, which has become deeply integrated into various sectors of the technology industry.
Recent Developments
This isn't the first time that Altman has mentioned the need to enhance their GPT models as OpenAI expands its technological capabilities. Even prior to the launch of the GPT-4o model, Altman had expressed dissatisfaction with the current AI structures, describing GPT-4 as lacking in quality.
After Altman's remarks, sources reported by Business Insider suggested that OpenAI is actively working on a significantly improved AI model set to be unveiled later this year. This revised version materialized as the GPT-4o, believed by many to serve as a stepping stone towards the anticipated GPT-5 model.
Concerns and Criticisms
While OpenAI pushes out new iterations of its GPT models to achieve its objectives, AI experts and former employees have raised concerns regarding the company's AI development methods, particularly in terms of safety. Jan Leike, a former leader of OpenAI's "Superalignment" team, highlighted a shift in the company's focus from safety protocols to product launches.
Recent reports have indicated vulnerabilities in the chatbot, including instances of "AI hallucinations," and alleged misuse for disseminating digital misinformation.
