ChatGPT, an application created by OpenAI, lets you talk with a virtual assistant about any topic. The app, already available for Mac, iOS and iPadOS, aims to revolutionize how we interact with our devices thanks to a new feature on the way: the ability to see everything that happens on your screen.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an application that uses the new GPT-4o language model, OpenAI’s latest and most powerful one. It serves to generate coherent and relevant answers to any text, audio or image that the user provides. ChatGPT is a tool you can use to get help with tasks, learn about new subjects, and have fun with games or simply have a casual conversation. The language model adapts to your style and lets you talk about any topic you like.
How does the new screen-view feature work?
Not yet released, the new screen-view feature will allow ChatGPT to access the content on your laptop, with your consent, and answer questions or offer suggestions based on what it sees. For example, while you write an email, ChatGPT can help you improve your text, review grammar or spelling, or even suggest recipients or subject lines. ChatGPT can help you play a game, give tips, comment on your moves or even play with you. It can help you learn something new, quiz you, or suggest additional resources if you are studying.
What are the advantages and challenges of this feature?
This feature brings a major advantage: it will make ChatGPT more useful, interactive and personalised, since it will respond to your needs and interests in a more natural and effective way. In addition, it will be able to take full advantage of GPT-4o, which can produce high-quality images and text from any input. The challenge with this feature is protecting user privacy and security, since ChatGPT may access personal and sensitive data. Because of that, it is essential that users keep control over when and how ChatGPT can see their screen. OpenAI guarantees that the data will not be used in a malicious or improper way.
What to expect from the future of ChatGPT?
As OpenAI continues to improve its language model and application, the future of ChatGPT looks promising. It can evolve into a truly intelligent AI assistant that can see, hear, speak and understand the world around it and help users across a wide range of tasks and areas. A possible partnership with Apple could also benefit ChatGPT, since it would allow OpenAI’s app to integrate with Apple’s operating system and services, making the user experience more integrated and seamless. ChatGPT has the potential to be the next step in the evolution of human–computer interaction and to transform how we use this technology.
