By adding web-browsing capabilities with its partner, Microsoft, OpenAI has brought ChatGPT up to date.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI\u2019s major update to ChatGPT actually added three significant features: its newfound ability to browse the web, new plugin capabilities, and a sandbox in which it can execute and test code. The latter feature means that you\u2019ll actually see graphics in ChatGPT output, though what was shown was (for now) simple line graphs and charts, as well as some image manipulation. A fourth feature, a retrieval plugin, also means that developers can begin asking ChatGPT to incorporate documents of the developer\u2019s choosing, in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The update means that ChatGPT is expanding on several fronts, potentially eliminating a competitor\u2019s advantage: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/1666669\/google-bards-ai-search-launch-was-well-boring.html\">Google\u2019s Bard may be boring<\/a>, but it knows what\u2019s going on in the present, thanks to its integration with Google Search. <\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ChatGPT-browsing.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1200\" alt=\"ChatGPT web browsing \" width=\"1200\" height=\"682\"><figcaption>ChatGPT uses a text browser to surf the web and find out what it needs to.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>ChatGPT won\u2019t open a web browser, per se, but behind the scenes it\u2019s working with Microsoft\u2019s Bing (which has its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/1526807\/hands-on-how-to-use-bing-chat-within-windows-11.html\">own AI chatbot<\/a>, of course) to browse the open web. In one example, ChatGPT was asked about the latest Oscar winners. The app indicated that it was browsing specific sites to learn the information, even \u201cclicking on\u201d specific sources of information. Previously, ChatGPT was current up until about 2021, with certain exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT \u201cknows\u201d a lot of information, period, but via plugins, the AI chatbot will be able to access specific stores of information that it didn\u2019t have access to previously\u2014for example, flight times and prices from kayak, sophisticated mathematical modelling via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/529116\/wolfram_alpha_geek_almanac.html\">Wolfram Alpha<\/a>, and more. For now, OpenAI has deployed plugins from Expedia,\u00a0FiscalNote,\u00a0Instacart,\u00a0Kayak,\u00a0Klarna,\u00a0Milo,\u00a0OpenTable,\u00a0Shopify,\u00a0Slack,\u00a0Speak,\u00a0Wolfram, and\u00a0Zapier. Other plugins are on a waitlist for further development, OpenAI said. <\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ChatGPT-plugin-store.jpg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1200\" alt=\"ChatGPT plugins\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\"><figcaption>Plugins will be installed into ChatGPT via a web store.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>One function that CHatGPT has always specialized in is developing, writing, and checking code. Today, OpenAI said that it has added a small sandbox, along with disk space, for you to \u201cwrite\u201d and test code within ChatGPT. You can even upload files. \u201cWe provide our models with a working Python interpreter in<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>a sandboxed, firewalled execution environment,\u201d OpenAI said. <\/p>\n<p>That dovetails nicely with ChatGPT\u2019s final new feature: code interpretation and visualization. All that means is that you\u2019ll be able to use ChatGPT to begin solving visualization problems\u2014which, interestingly, involves also converting files between formats.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/b2c-contenthub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/ChatGPT-graphics.png?w=1200\" alt=\"ChatGPT graphics\" width=\"1200\" height=\"668\"><figcaption>Here\u2019s ChatGPT interacting with graphics. You can ask for a download link, too.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Here, we start to see ChatGPT integrate what we\u2019d call traditional graphics, for the first time, something the text-based chatbot hasn\u2019t done before. The AI took an uploaded image, resized it, and then changed the colors. It\u2019s a good sign that we could see more traditionally image-oriented activities within ChatGPTG\u2014perhaps even AI art.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it appears that OpenAI sees ChatGPT as a platform\u2014and that means\u2026 well, who knows what that means? <\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/author\/mhachman\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: Mark Hachman<\/a>, Senior Editor\t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/author_photo_Mark-Hachman_1632347568-66.jpeg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=116&#038;h=116&#038;crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>As PCWorld&#8217;s senior editor, Mark focuses on Microsoft news and chip technology, among other beats.
