23: Imran Khan

On giving AI eyes and ears AI can listen and see, with bigger implications than we might realize. ........ Over the past seven months, AI has come to mean chatbots. All of the web interfaces of the big Large Language Models (Bard, Bing/ChatGPT, and Claude) started as chatbots, and that has shaped our popular understanding of what AI can do. It anthropomorphizes AI as “someone” you can talk with, and it makes us think that AIs can only communicate via text. ........ the multimodal capability of Bing, which uses GPT-4 in creative mode. Everyone is likely to get this feature for free in the next four weeks. And it really does radically change what AI can do. ........ What multimodal AI does is let the AI “see” images and “understand” what it is seeing. I had some fun with this by uploading a recent meme (and thus one that would not be in the training data of the AI) with a little bit of image manipulation to make sure Bing couldn’t find the image by searching for it. The AI not only accurately described the scene in the meme but read the text in the image, and even explained why the meme was funny. ............ Bing Image Creator (which uses OpenAI’s DALL-E)..... An important thing to note is that I did essentially nothing beyond the first prompt, other than feeding it its own results. The result was self-improvement, as the AI developed and refined an idea that combined visual elements, research, and a sense of style. The result is that the AI can now build and refine prototypes using vision, a large increase in capabilities. And this is just the start. As AI can observe and comment on the world around it, we will see all sorts of new uses emerge............ An often-overlooked OpenAI product is Whisper, a voice-to-text system that is very, very good ......... but I also had GPT-4 act as a real-time virtual VC, using voice recognition on the pitches and prompting it give VC-like feedback. ......... It was incredibly easy to do, and did not require any equipment or additional expense. I was able to sit in the front row of class and record the pitches directly with the ChatGPT app on my phone, it captured everything extremely well. At the end of each pitch, I just added a simple prompt: You are a seed stage venture capitalist who evaluates startup pitches. Evaluate the following pitch from that perspective and offer 4 positives and negatives, as well as what you think about the pitch overall as an investor. .......... Those results were of high quality, and the VC in the room was impressed. .......... the ability to get feedback live to verbal presentations is an exciting one with lots of teaching implications. You can now get instant feedback from any simulated individual you want to any talk you want to give. ............ Connecting AI to the internet made it much more powerful. Giving AI the tools to write and execute code made it much more powerful. And, now the capabilities to watch and listen are going to do the same. AI doesn’t just advance because of new fundamental models, like going to GPT-5, it advances when it is given the tools to operate in the real world. Jobs that require visual or audio interactions felt insulated from AI, but now they are not ............ AI will be able to play a more active role in the real world by observing and listening. The implications are likely to be profound, and we should start thinking through both the huge benefits and major concerns today. .
