Microsoft announced in a press release on Tuesday that Copilot, the AI assistant built into Windows 11, will be receiving some upgrades for more capable text and image generation.
The most recent AI model, GPT-4 Turbo, from OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, will be available for Windows 11 in the upcoming weeks. In addition to GPT-4 Turbo, Microsoft’s operating system will also include Dall-E 3, an OpenAI-created text-to-image generator. These two new models will make it possible to generate text and images more intelligently, robustly, and with fewer errors.
Microsoft increased its investment in OpenAI earlier this year, which led to the company’s deep dive into AI. With the release of ChatGPT, an AI chatbot that could seemingly answer any question with a creative response, OpenAI made headlines last year. Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI allowed ChatGPT to appear on Bing, providing Google with some fierce competition. Google also released its AI chatbot, Bard, very quickly and is now experimenting with using AI-generated search results in Google Search. Microsoft added generative technology to Windows 11 through a tool called Copilot because it wasn’t content to just add AI to Bing. It’s an AI assistant that can do a lot of things for you, like write emails and summarize documents. Tech companies are planting their flags early because generative AI is expected to bring in $4.4 trillion annually, a sign of how quickly AI is permeating tech.
Tech companies are planting their flags early, given the speed at which AI is consuming tech. Generative AI is expected to generate $4.4 trillion in revenue annually.
OpenAI’s AI technology has garnered a lot of attention, but its corporate disruptions have also made headlines. OpenAI’s not-for-profit board as of late terminated its President Sam Altman, just to rehire him days after the fact after an inner revolt by workers. Microsoft immediately dove in to recruit Altman and proposed to enlist different designers from OpenAI that were taking steps to leave the organization. OpenAI’s nonprofit board, which claims to prioritize human interest over profit, found itself in a bizarre quagmire as a result of this potential mass exodus: either keep its ethical position or give away key employees to a multi-trillion-dollar conglomerate. OpenAI’s board was supposedly worried about the speed in which Altman was pushing simulated intelligence tech without enough thought for its expected disadvantages.
There are also some new search features coming to Bing. Bing will soon be able to perform “Deep Search.” To “deliver optimized search results for complex topics,” this makes use of GPT-4. To start with, Bing will assist you with sorting out the more profound expectation on your questions, deciphering your basic inquiries and sorting out whether or not you really want more top to bottom data. After that is established, Bing will provide you with a comprehensive response. Microsoft says Profound Hunt can rank sites better, sifting through data to sort in view of value and dependability. Since Profound Inquiry is, indeed, profound, Microsoft says it can require as long as 30 seconds for it to stack a total outcome. Therefore, it works best for more difficult queries.
A more advanced version of image search is multi-modal with Search Grounding. When you feed Bing an image, it will be able to comprehend it and respond to your questions.
Additionally, Microsoft Edge users will be able to rewrite text copied from websites using Copilot, much to the dismay of educators.
For those that aren’t on windows 11, Microsoft likewise has a web rendition of Copilot that can be gotten to from any gadget.
