#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And every time we put out a new model, and we've just really felt this with GPT-4 this week, the collective intelligence and ability of the outside world helps us discover things we cannot imagine, we could have never done internally.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

and both like great things that the model can do new capabilities and real weaknesses we have to fix and so this iterative process of putting things out finding the the the great parts the bad parts improving them quickly and giving people time to feel the technology and shape it with us and provide feedback we believe is really important the trade-off of that

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

is the trade-off of building in public, which is we put out things that are going to be deeply imperfect.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

We want to make our mistakes while the stakes are low.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

We want to get it better and better each rep.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

But the bias of chat GPT when it launched with 3.5 was not something that I certainly felt proud of.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

It's gotten much better with GPT-4.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

Many of the critics, and I really respect this, have said, hey, a lot of the problems that I had with 3.5 are much better in 4.0.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

But also, no two people are ever going to agree that one single model is unbiased on every topic.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And I think the answer there is just going to be to give users more personalized control, granular control over time.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

When I was a little kid, I thought building AI, we didn't really call it AGI at the time.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

I thought building AI would be the coolest thing ever.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

I never really thought I would get the chance to work on it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

But if you had told me that not only I would get the chance to work on it, but that after making a very, very larval proto-AGI thing, that the thing I'd have to spend my time on is...

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

trying to argue with people about whether the number of characters that said nice things about one person was different than the number of characters that said nice about some other person.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

If you hand people an AGI and that's what they want to do, I wouldn't have believed you.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

But I understand it more now.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

And I do have empathy for it.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

So I get it.

#367 โ€“ Sam Altman: OpenAI CEO on GPT-4, ChatGPT, and the Future of AI

It's just like I...
