Key Points
OpenAI recently announced an upgrade to ChatGPT (Apple, Android) that adds two features: AI voice options to hear the chatbot responding to your prompts, and image analysis capabilities..
Even after hours of testing the limits and capabilities of ChatGPT, OpenAIs chatbot still manages to surprise and scare me at the same time..
This isnt the first time a kind of computer vision has been made available to the public, but the accessible user interface paired with a powerful chatbot leaves the impression that there might be something distinct, and potentially transformative, happening here..
Its worth noting that one conversation I had with the early version of ChatGPTs image feature seemed to skirt around part of the guardrails put in place by OpenAI..
Without proper privacy protections remaining in place for these new image features, women and other minorities are likely to receive an influx of abuse from people using chatbots for stalking and harassment..
