Chat GPT-4, which will be available next week, will allow you to convert text into video.
According to Microsoft Germany Chief Technical Officer Andreas Braun, OpenAI will release GPT-4 next week, and the generative AI program will allow users to convert text into video.
Although Chat GPT-3 has taken the world by storm, the deep learning language model has only produced text. Braun describes GPT-3 as "multimodal," providing generations other than text.
"We will introduce GPT-4 next week, and there will be multimodal models that will offer completely different possibilities — for example, videos," Braun said on March 9 at an AI event in Germany, according to German newspaper Heise.
Making Multimodal Content
Chat GPT-4 will most likely generate not only video but also images and audio clips. Until now, AI image generators were separate from chatbots like Chat GPT. However, interest is growing in the capabilities of next-generation models that can generate content in a variety of formats.
"We're talking about AI models that can understand text, images, and sound at the same time and use them to learn about and interact with the world around them," writes Tristan Wolff on Medium.
Microsoft has already demonstrated Kosmos-1, a multimodal language model that operates in multiple formats.
The AI in the Kosmos-1 presentation can read images in addition to photos. For example, a picture of a clock reading 10:10 is fed into the AI along with the question "What time is it now?" "10:10 on a large clock," the AI responds.
It can also tell the viewer what kind of hairstyle a woman is wearing, or it can recognize a movie poster and tell the user when the movie will be released.
"Kosmos-1 answers questions using text and image information, giving it unprecedented'cognitive capacity,'" Wolff adds.
The 'iPhone Moment
During the "AI in Focus — Digital Kickoff" event in Germany, Braun was joined by Marianne Janik, the CEO of Microsoft Germany, who described ChatGPT as a "iPhone moment."
She claims that it is not about replacing jobs, but rather about performing repetitive tasks in a different way than before, according to Heise.
"Disruption does not always imply job losses," she says. "It will take a large number of experts to make AI valuable."
Chat GPT has grown to become the fastest-growing consumer app in history, with over 100 million users.
Elon Musk, the company's co-founder who left in 2018, criticized OpenAI, which also operates DALL-E.
"OpenAI was founded as an open source (hence the name "Open" AI), non-profit company to compete with Google, but it has since evolved into a closed source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft," he wrote on February 17. "That was not my intention at all."
Microsoft and OpenAI have yet to respond to their German colleagues' comments.
