What is the difference between GPT-3 and GPT-4?
THE company behind ChatGPT have unveiled a more powerful successor, with a host of new features.
Around 100million people have flocked to the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot in the past few months, which means it's nearly time for a successor.
ChatGPT-3.5 is the popular chatbot by tech firm OpenAI, that many have grown fond of in the past few months.
The AI chatbot was released in November, and since then has carried a large amount of attention from the public, and some of the biggest technology companies in the world.
While ‘hallucination’ was an issue for ChatGPT-3.5 – where the bot whips up false stories or rewrites history – OpenAI claims to have fixed this over the past six months.
Every time ChatGPT-3 answers a question for a human, it stores that data to give developers something to learn from, so the AI bot can improve.

ChatGPT-4 was unveiled just yesterday, but it turns out Microsoft’s AI-powered Bing is already using the new programme.
This forms part of a “long-term partnership” between OpenAI and Microsoft, which is reportedly be worth more than $10billion.
How is ChatGPT-4 more powerful?
ChatGPT-4 is far more powerful than its predecessor.
OpenAI said the new and improved version is able to pass the bar exam for prospective lawyers with a score in the top 10% of applicants.

ChatGPT-3.5 previously scored in the bottom 10% of test-takers.
One major difference that tech fans will notice is that users can input images into chatbot.
"GPT-4 is more creative and collaborative than ever before," OpenAI added.
"It can generate, edit, and iterate with users on creative and technical writing tasks, such as composing songs, writing screenplays, or learning a user’s writing style."
GPT-4 is 82% less likely to respond to requests for disallowed content and 40% more likely to produce factual responses than GPT-3.5, OpenAI announced.
This means the chatbot is far less likely to be tricked into telling users how to break the law, or harm themselves or others.
However, one big catch is that ChatGPT-4 is still not great at reasoning on current events - as it was trained on data that existed before 2021.
In a blog post, OpenAI said the latest iteration “still has many known limitations that we are working to address, such as social biases, hallucinations and adversarial prompts".
How do I use ChatGPT-4?
Version 4 will be available within the ChatGPT app and via the API for third parties to use.
Users will need to be a ChatGPT Plus subscriber to get access today.
ChatGPT plus is OpenAI's subscription model which offers users access to the AI bot during peak times, faster response times and priority access to new features and improvements for $20 a month.

"By offering this subscription pricing, we will be able to help support free access availability to as many people as possible," OpenAI said.
However, if you’re one of the beta testers for Microsoft Bing AI, then you’re in luck - because you're actually already using ChatGPT-4.
