ChatGPT Code Interpreter Plugin: Redefining AI
The world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been revolutionized since the launch of ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot developed by OpenAI, in November 2022. This chatbot has set off an AI race among the biggest tech giants around the world as developers continue to explore new ways to use ChatGPT, which is currently powered by OpenAI’s highly potent large language model, GPT-4.
Recently, OpenAI has announced its latest plugin, the ChatGPT code interpreter, which has opened a floodgate of possibilities for millions of developers worldwide. This plugin gives ChatGPT a working Python interpreter in a sandboxed environment that can effectively solve qualitative and quantitative mathematical problems, perform data analysis and data visualization and convert files across formats.
The ChatGPT code interpreter plugin has a range of functions that enhance the chatbot's ability to produce codes from inputs in natural language. The new plugin allows ChatGPT to use Python and offer results inside a dialogue box. According to OpenAI, the plugin creates a persistent session that is alive for the duration of a chat conversation and subsequent calls can build on top of each other. The code interpreter can also upload files to the current conversation workspace and download the results of your work.
The code interpreter plugin has opened up numerous use cases for ChatGPT, and developers have been discussing them online. The plugin can allow ChatGPT to do basic video editing and convert GIFs into longer MP4 videos into slow zoom. One of the most interesting features is that uploading location data, such as a CSV file of every lighthouse location in the US, creates a visualized map that has illuminated dots showing the lighthouses.
Designers have also found the code interpreter plugin to be an incredible tool for file uploading and downloading capabilities, as it can extract colour from an image to create a palette.png and automatically compress large images when it runs out of memory.
The code interpreter plugin is proving to be a game-changing tool for data analysis. It can analyze the Bitcoin dataset that has been downloaded from an iPhone and turn images into text files. It can also render animated GIFs from scratch within seconds and analyze a user’s music taste from their Spotify playlist.
Based on all that is being done with ChatGPT’s code interpreter, it can be said that the plugin is a boon to developers and all those testing new use cases of the AI chatbot. It is a significant step in the AI industry, and it will redefine the way AI is used in the future.
So far, OpenAI has not announced a date for the wider rollout of ChatGPT plugins, but it seems that it will happen sooner, and it will change the way we perceive AI.
