GPT-4 has encountered some pitfalls, however, including ‘hallucinations’, context limits, and an inability to learn from experience. A spokesperson has warned that care should be taken when using the outputs of GPT-4, particularly in contexts where reliability is important.

Despite these issues, GPT-4 has undergone stress tests and OpenAI has set out possible risks around bias, disinformation, privacy and cyber security.

GPT-4 is now embedded into Microsoft’s Bing chatbot, and Microsoft is expected to roll-out further integrations into consumer products in the following days.

OpenAI’s aim with the image input feature of GPT-4 is to compete with Google’s search engine, which includes search using images but is yet to have answer-giving capabilities.

OpenAI has also announced a partnership with Be My Eyes to help guide or help users who are blind or partially sighted.
