First Hands-On With ChatGPT Vision
This week, OpenAI released a groundbreaking addition to their popular ChatGPT platform. In addition to processing text, ChatGPT is now able to process and chat about images. It’s hard to overstate how big a deal this is. As much as 70% of content currently on the Internet is visual rather than written. People generate thousands of photos per year, and many of today’s biggest platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram) are largely visual. People are increasingly choosing to interact with machines in a visual way. And with its newest upgrade, ChatGPT can now participate in that process.
Visual ChatGPT is rolling out to select ChatGPT Plus users over the next few weeks. I was one of the first users to receive access. Here’s a first look at this remarkable new generative AI capability, and some of the things it can do. Visual interactions with ChatGPT are simple. Users who have received access can now see a small image icon next to the “Send a message” field in the ChatGPT interface. In addition to entering a text prompt, you can now upload an image along with your text. That allows you to ask questions about an image, or to have ChatGPT analyze the visual contents of the image and chat with you about it.
