Intro: As AI Technology continues advancing, so do the benefits for users. OpenAI, one of the leaders in the field, has introduced a new AI model called GPT-4o. Users can access this technology for free or pay for an upgraded version. Access to this improved AI model could be useful to many groups of people.
Upgraded ChatGPT
This version builds on the GPT-4 model but with improvements that can recognize different visual, audio, and textual inputs, and create varying outputs. GPT-4o also provides faster processing times and more creative options, varying from generated pictures to audible responses.
Enhanced Features
In the paid model GPT-4o plus, users have higher limits to their message counts and early access to different features. Luckily, the free model also still offers considerable advances, such as the ability to upload files for analysis and translate spoken language.
Advantage for Educators
From practice in language classes to calculus problems, teachers may find AI to be a useful tool. Partnering with Khan Academy, GPT-4o showed that the new update can give hints and suggestions for students without telling them the correct answers while responding to questions and guesses.
Recruiters’ Edge
Since the wave of AI began, recruiters have been able to generate email templates and create appealing job descriptions. Now recruiters will be able to interpret the communication styles of candidates by identifying emotions and summarize the content of long texts and images with the help of AI.
Business Professionals
Dreaded meetings and the recording of minutes could be a thing of the past. GPT-4o offers a note-taking style that writes about what is happening and who is speaking in meetings with multiple people.
Hard-Working Students
Students will now be able to use AI to understand a difficult problem set, brainstorm new ideas, and practice their speeches and debates with another “person.” They essentially have access to a private tutor at their fingertips.
The Visually-Impaired
The new update offers people navigation and image-to-text accessibility through the “Be My Eyes” app at a faster and more accurate rate. Users can also ask clarifying questions about what’s in front of them and receive almost instant summaries of long texts.
Language Learners
One of the biggest advances of this update is the ability to have life-like conversations with AI. For language learners, finding a speaking partner and having instant translation capabilities could be a game changer for getting to the next level.
Performers: Thespians and Songwriters
While the human spirit is lacking in some AI software, artists can use GPT-4o as a starting point for their creative ventures. The technology can help to brainstorm new story ideas for a screenplay or assist with creating music arrangements.
Mathematicians and Statisticians
GPT-4o can solve complex questions from users who speak, upload files, or submit pictures. The new communication updates also allow mathematical and statistical experts and students to have conversations about problems and ask follow-up questions about processes.
Job-Seekers
Job seekers can now quickly generate new CVs that match job descriptions they’re looking at. For interview prep, applicants can also practice answering questions with a fake interviewer and get feedback and responses.
Coders and Programmers
The turbo performance for coding is now more accessible, faster, and easier to use than previous models. Programmers can now analyze and create code at rapid rates.
Professional Writers
AI technology continues advancing its creative capabilities, which can be an asset for writers. While a human voice is still necessary to create enticing stores, GPT-4o can create solid templates and recommendations for fictional stories, news articles, and research pieces.
Parents and Guardians
When children demand storytime, parents, and guardians can now use GPT-4o to tell stories and sing songs. The technology’s ability to use different voices will keep things fun for kids and adults alike.
Aspiring Entrepreneurs
Building a band can be tricky, but AI now allows entrepreneurs to visualize their logo placed on different products. From mugs to pamphlets, future business leaders will be able to see their brand expansion.
Historians and Archivists
Although not perfect, the transcription of historical text tools could offer huge advantages for those working with old and fragile documents. Although there may be minor mistakes, this initial translation could save users valuable time.
The Marketing Team
Even established brands need new and improved marketing techniques. Now those working in marketing can say or write descriptions and watch them manifest into new designs and posters.
Graphic Designers
GPT-4o has expanded its ability to take ideas and create new characters, 3D objects, and caricatures. Graphic Designers can save time on brainstorming and the initial production by modifying these outputs.
AI Still Needs Humans
Despite some fear over AI’s ability to replace humans in daily work tasks, humans are still needed. This technology makes mistakes and often requires human creativity and expertise, which cannot be replicated. Rather, AI is a useful tool to boost productivity!
