According to OpenAI, this is the new normal: an AI model that can “reason across audio, vision and text in real time”. It appears, at first glance, to be another significant step towards turning science fiction into science fact. The always-helpful, always-on, human-like robot butler that we’ve seen and read about for decades is getting closer, OpenAI would suggest. And the impressive smoothness of the interaction might shunt a few naysaying holdouts towards being AI adopters. Making it free, as OpenAI has done, will also help.
However, it’s worth remembering AI’s original sin, dating back to 1956: its naming. “Artificial intelligence” is certainly artificial, but it’s not yet intelligent – and arguably never will be. The more that ChatGPT and other tools like it mimic human interaction, learning to act as witty, wisecracking raconteurs that can croon and swoon, the more likely we are to forget the “artificial” bit of the term.
