According to Alex Blake's article for DigitalTrends.com from March 2023, in recent months, ChatGPT has become impossible to avoid, and it appears like Microsoft is ready to update the AI tool with a change that might put it back in the limelight. That's because the business intends to release GPT-4 as soon as next week, and it may let you produce AI-generated films using straightforward text cues.

During a recent event called "AI in Focus — Digital Launch," Andreas Braun, Chief Technical Officer of Microsoft Germany, announced the news (via Heise). Braun stated, "We'll release GPT-4 next week... We will have multimodal models that provide entirely new possibilities, like movies.''

Apps like ChatGPT are powered by the GPT-4 big language model technology. Now, ChatGPT can only respond in text, but it appears that will change with the next upgrade.

The tool ChatGPT won't be the first to produce videos made by AI. Make-A-Video, an app that produces realism-based films based on brief text instructions, was introduced in 2022 by Facebook owner Meta. It sounds like the next ChatGPT version could be able to carry out a similar task.

AI music, videos, and more

Microsoft stated that GPT-4 will be "multimodal" during the AI presentation. This would enable Microsoft's AI to transform a user's words into graphics, music, and video, according to Holger Kenn, Director of Business Strategy at Microsoft Germany.

Microsoft provided an example of how a call center could utilize GPT-4 to automatically translate phone conversations between staff members and customers into text, saving a ton of time and effort that would otherwise be required to summarize those discussions after they conclude.

Microsoft remained silent on the ChatGPT integration into their Bing web browser, despite the significant demand and waiting lists. Perhaps the corporation decided it was too sensitive a subject given all the recent outrage this has caused.

Nonetheless, it might not be long until we learn more about ChatGPT's next version and whether Microsoft can resolve any lingering issues with their AI helper as GPT-4 is reportedly arriving as soon as next week.
