ON MAY 13TH OpenAI unveiled its latest model, GPT-4o. Mira Murati, the company’s chief technology officer, called it the “future of interaction between ourselves and the machines”, because users will be able to speak to the model, which will talk back in an expressive, humanlike way. A day later, Demis Hassabis, the leader of Google’s artificial-intelligence (AI) efforts, demonstrated Project Astra, an early version of what he says is the company’s attempt to “develop universal AI agents that can be helpful in everyday life”.
五月十三日,OpenAI 推出了最新的模型GPT-4o。该公司的首席技术官米拉·穆拉蒂(Mira Murati)称其为“我们与机器交互的未来”,因为用户将能够对这个模型说话,而它会像真人一样声情并茂地回应。一天后,谷歌人工智能负责人丹米斯·哈萨比斯(Demis Hassabis)展示了Project Astra,这是他所说的该公司想要“开发的有助日常生活的通用AI智能体”的早期版本。

The launches are part of moves across the tech industry to make chatbots and other AI products more useful and engaging. Show GPT-4o or Astra pictures or videos of art or food that you enjoy and they could probably furnish you with a list of museums, galleries and restaurants you might like. But, as impressive as these AI agents seem, they still have some way to go before they will be able to carry out complex tasks. Ask them to plan a trip to Berlin for you, for example, based on your leisure preferences and budget—including which attractions to see, in which order, and what train tickets to buy to get between them—and they will disappoint.
整个科技业都在努力让聊天机器人和其他AI产品更有用、更吸引人,这些模型便是部分成果。向GPT-4o或Astra展示你喜欢的艺术品或食物的图片或视频,它们就可能列出你也许喜欢的博物馆、画廊和餐馆。但是,尽管这些AI智能体看起来令人印象深刻,但它们距离执行复杂任务还有一段距离。例如,让它们根据你的休闲偏好和预算为你计划一次去柏林的旅行——包括要看哪些景点、按什么顺序,以及购买什么时间的往返火车票——它们就会让你失望了。
