ChatGPT now understands real-time video, seven months after OpenAI first demoed it

OpenAI has released Advanced Voice Mode with vision for its ChatGPT app, allowing users to point their phones at objects and receive real-time responses. The feature also includes screen sharing capabilities to explain settings or provide math problem suggestions. The rollout will start this week for certain subscribers, with others gaining access in January. OpenAI showcased the feature's ability to understand drawings during a recent demo. However, it also acknowledged that the system could still make mistakes or "hallucinate". Google and Meta are also developing similar video analysis capabilities for their chatbot products. OpenAI has also launched a festive "Santa Mode" with Santa's voice as a preset option.

There's one signature on OpenAI's clapback against Elon Musk that people are buzzing about

OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk's allegations that its partnership with Microsoft goes against its initial mission as an open-source nonprofit. The response, which included snapshots of emails between Musk and OpenAI executives, was signed by five people including Ilya Sutskever. This is the first time Sutskever's involvement with OpenAI has been made public in months. Last year, Sutskever was involved in firing OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, but later reversed his position and expressed regret. Musk had previously offered Sutskever a position at his own AI startup, xAI. Given Sutskever's role in OpenAI's response, it is unlikely he will accept Musk's offer now.
