It’s been a little less than a year since the release of ChatGPT, at the end of November 2022. The arrival of the OpenAI chatbot undoubtedly marked a before and after period to the extent that we can assume that this service is primarily responsible for the rate of growth and popularization of artificial intelligence that we are experiencing throughout this year. this promises to continue this trend in the short and probably medium term.

this of course substantially changed the ChatGPT playing field, because during the first few months of its life it was practically the only option, but since then it has seen the proliferation of new services like the new Bing, Bard, Poe and others. Services that in many cases tried to offer more features than the OpenAI service, which, together with the normalization of these services, caused the number of this chatbot to drop in recent months.

Apparently, OpenAI could not sit idle In this situation, there is little or no value in being first to market (ergo, inaugurate it), if new competitors start arriving later, you will not demonstrate the necessary capacity to face them. And that’s a lesson that anyone who knows the history of the tech sector knows to keep in mind, and that the list of giants we’ve seen fall over the years is awfully long.

OpenAI seems fully aware of this and responding, They have already started adding voice and video features to ChatGPT, as we can read on her official blog. So it seems that the company’s intention is to make its chatbot the most multimodal platform, since after the full implementation of these new features, for which the company gives a deadline of two weeks, it will be possible to use text, voice and images as means of input, and we can also get text, voice and images in response to our prompts. The range it offers is more than remarkable.

For this purpose, we can understand it ChatGPT will use another OpenAI solution, such as the recently introduced DALL-E 3, the Whisper voice recognition solution (which we talked about earlier, in the news of Spotify podcasts) and many others. This of course explains to us that these features will be exclusive, as we can imagine, to the paid tiers of the service, i.e. ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise.
