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

Like here's the level of intelligence you can expect.

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

I'll say it's way more scientific than I ever would have dared to imagine.

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

Like any new branch of science, we're going to discover new things that don't fit the data and have to come up with better explanations.

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

And that is the ongoing process of discovering science.

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

But with what we know now, even what we had in that GPT-4 blog post, I think we should all just be in awe of how amazing it is that we can even predict to this current level.

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

Well, there's all these different evals that we could talk about.

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

And... What's an eval?

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

Oh, like how we measure a model as we're training it, after we've trained it, and say like, you know, how good is this at some set of tasks?

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

Yeah, I think that'll be really helpful.

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

But the one that really matters is...

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

and we pour all of this effort and money and time into this thing.

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

And then what it comes out with, like how useful is that to people?

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

How much delight does that bring people?

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

How much does that help them create a much better world, new science, new products, new services, whatever.

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

And that's the one that matters and understanding for a particular set of inputs, like how much value and utility to provide to people.

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

I think we are understanding that better, um,

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

Do we understand everything about why the model does one thing and not one other thing?

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

Certainly not always, but I would say we are pushing back the fog of war more and more.

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

It took a lot of understanding to make GPT-4, for example.

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

Well, you know, a funny thing about the way we're training these models is I suspect too much of the processing power, for lack of a better word, is going into...
