London: OpenAI has said that its latest upgrade to ChatGPT has been a ‘significant step’ toward artificial intelligence but it is missing ‘many things’ in the efforts to make it do human’s jobs, The Guardian reported.
The startup has pointed to the technology’s inadequacy to achieve human level functions just as fear of jobs losing to artificial intelligence runs high.
GPT-5 model, according to the startup, showcases a major upgrade on its predecessors in coding and creative writing.
The upgrade has immediately been made available to its 700 million weekly users.
Sam Altman, OpenAI’s chief executive, termed GPT-5 model a ‘significant step forward’ achieving the artificial intelligence’s theoretical state.
This state according to the company is a highly autonomous system that will outshine humans meaning doing jobs that humans do.
Admitting that the model has not yet reached that state, Altman said that it is missing ‘something quite important, many things quite important’.
The chief executive pointed to the model’s failure to ‘continuously learn’.
While claiming a ‘huge improvement’ on its previous versions, he said that ‘I think the way that most of us define AGI, we’re still missing something quite important, many things quite important. But one big one is … this is not a model that continuously learns as it’s deployed from things it finds, which is something that, to me, feels like it should be part of AGI.’
However, Altman claimed that ChatGPT’s latest version is like having ‘access to a PhD-level expert in your pocket’, while calling the previous version a college student and the one prior to it a high school student.
