Open AI, the company behind the popular chatbot has now introduced a powerful new language model: GPT-4. On March 14, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous GPT- 3.5. One of its best new features is that it can understand pictures. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny. But GPT-4’s developments don’t stop there. The new language model can code classic games like Tetris (俄罗斯方块) in a matter of minutes, and produce the code and layout (布局) for a website based on a handmade drawing. It can also change the tone and style based on what you ask it to do. GPT-4 is much better than the older GPT at passing tests, which may worry teachers.

GPT-4 will also see greater use as a tool to power other apps and services. For example, the language leaning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their upcoming Duolingo Max function (功能). Users can learn language by talking with Al. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people better understand the world around them. The government of Iceland also plans to use GPT-4 to protect the Icelandic language. There are still problems with the new language model, however.

GPT-4 also sometimes “hallucinates”, meaning that it will insist that wrong information is true. 1．What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A．GPT-3.5 cannot understand pictures.
