Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has shared a list of top requests from ChatGPT users for the year 2024. These requests encompass a range of features and improvements, demonstrating the users’ diverse expectations from the language model. Among the notable requests are the desire for progress toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the development of GPT-5, improvements in voice mode, enhanced control over the degree of wokeness/behavior, higher rate limits, better GPTs, improved reasoning capabilities, video support, personalization features, better browsing experience, the option to “sign in with OpenAI,” and a move toward open-source access.
Altman acknowledged the users’ requests and expressed OpenAI’s commitment to delivering on as many of these demands as possible. He also mentioned that there are other exciting developments in the pipeline that haven’t been explicitly mentioned.
AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, refers to an intelligent system with comprehensive knowledge and cognitive computing capabilities. Altman emphasized the importance of AGI, noting that it has the potential to be the most powerful technology ever invented, particularly in democratizing global access to information.
In the context of AGI, Altman addressed concerns about control and governance. He acknowledged that OpenAI’s initial vision of democratizing AGI might not have been fully realized, and changes are needed to improve governance structures and interactions with the world. Altman stressed the importance of making AGI accessible and trustworthy to a broader segment of the population.
OpenAI recently introduced the GPT-4 Turbo language model at the company’s inaugural developer conference in November. This model represents the latest iteration in the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) series, showcasing advancements in natural language processing capabilities.
The list of user requests reflects the growing expectations and diverse applications of ChatGPT. Users are eager to see progress not only in language understanding and generation but also in related areas such as voice interactions, reasoning abilities, and personalization features.
Altman’s commitment to reading and considering upcoming requests demonstrates OpenAI’s responsiveness to user feedback and its ongoing efforts to enhance the capabilities and user experience of ChatGPT. The acknowledgment of the need for improved governance and accessibility in AGI development also reflects OpenAI’s awareness of ethical considerations and the importance of ensuring responsible and inclusive deployment of advanced AI technologies.
