ChatGPT upgraded again: adding image and voice input functions

OpenAI announced that it will launch new voice and image features in ChatGPT. The above features allow users to conduct voice conversations or show pictures to ChatGPT.

ChatGPT will have five different voices for users to choose from, and also supports functions such as generating text from voice audio and translating podcast voices into other languages.

LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman gave a speech at the graduation ceremony of the University of Bologna in Italy earlier this month.

In his speech, Hoffman mentioned that AI will reshape all of our lives and will become the main technology we use to make decisions and guide our lives.

"We have this technology in our hands, not the other way around. With it, we have the opportunity to enhance and define the future of humanity."

"AI should not be the abbreviation of artificial intelligence (artificial intelligence), but the abbreviation of augmented intelligence (amplification intelligence), because it has the potential to enhance and enhance us."

Regarding AI, Reid Hoffman encouraged "we focus on shaping the tools, which in turn shape us." Based on this task, he provided 3 questions for consideration:

• The first question is, how do I make better tools?
• The second question is equally important but may come as a surprise: How do I make the world more beautiful?
• The third question is, how do I make better tools and increase beauty for the benefit of my fellow humans?
