🍕 Multimodal ChatGPT has (literally) a wild potential

Hi all!

I’m in Kenya on holiday with my sister. We’ve done a 4-day safari and are now relaxing on the beach, so this edition will be shorter than usual.

I took this as a great chance to test the new multimodal capabilities of ChatGPT (“multimodal” = it can interpret both pictures and text). I sent it some pictures of animals and asked for information, check it out in my IG post!

You’ll see a rhino, hyenas, a snake, a waterbuck, and a silly error in counting fish.

Greetings from Kenya!

This week’s news:

• Multimodal ChatGPT has (literally) a wild potential

• Pizza Bytes 🍕: AI industry offers the highest salaries, Adobe’s new symbol for AI-generated images, Adobe Firefly Image 2 model is out

Now let’s get started 🕺

Multimodal ChatGPT has (literally) a wild potential

Ok, let’s be clear, it’s not perfect (see the counting error on the last pic with the fish), but it’s really really good.

What excites me the most is the potential to redefine the way we interact with technology.

I’d still 100% go with a human safari guide in the future because of the personal connection you can establish with locals, but the potential to create amazing digital experiences is endless…
