WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF

In time creating AI’s will be as easy as talking to a computer, but for now you still have to use text.

Following on from some big multi-modal updates OpenAI just unveiled another bunch of major updates for its popular Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot, including the ability for anyone to create their own “GPT” – AKA their own personalised version of ChatGPT.

The tech boss also revealed that ChatGPT now has more than 100 million weekly active users, including two million developers who use the platform.

The updates come amid growing competition from other tech firms like Amazon, Google, and Meta, which have invested in and or launched their own versions of the AI chatbot in the year since ChatGPT was released.

The most recent arrival is Grok, launched over the weekend by Elon Musk’s new AI startup xAI.

Musk claims that his AI chatbot – which is currently only available for paying subscribers of X in the US – can outperform its rivals in certain areas due to real-time access to data from the social media platform.
