With the official introduction of Open AI’s GPT-4, Microsoft is expanding its range of product support to include AI upgrades embedded into LinkedIn.

The business-focused social media platform announced Thursday that it will begin testing a host of AI-driven features based on both the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 language models with its Premium subscribers. These functions will allow people to do things such as create more personalized profiles and job descriptions using AI-generated prompts. In particular, the GPT-4 language model will be the power behind AI profile writing, according to LinkedIn.

You will be able to craft a personal statement on your LinkedIn profile with a prompt such as, “How do I summarize my career highlights and aspirations into just a few sentences?”

One of the primary features of GPT-4 is a greater ability to contextualize the information it is presented, as well as a higher degree of collaboration than the prior model. Still, you will have the ability to “review and edit” any generated text to maintain your own tone and authenticity. LinkedIn notes that GPT-3.5 will focus on generating job descriptions for companies.

Along with the language model updates, LinkedIn is offering over 100 AI courses, which will be available for free to all members through June 15. Some titles include “What is Generative AI” by Pinar Seyhan Demirdag, “Introduction to Prompt Engineering for Generative AI” by Ronnie Sheer, and “Introduction to Conversational AI” by Ian Barkin. There are courses available for all professional levels.

Open AI officially announced the GPT-4 language model on Tuesday, saying it is available to ChatGPT Plus users and developers through the API.

The company also said that several brands and organizations have been working with the language model, including Duolingo, Be My Eyes, Stripe, Morgan Stanley, Khan Academy, and the government of Iceland. Microsoft also confirmed that its new Bing Search featuring an AI chatbot is based on GPT-4. The updated search engine debuted in February.

I taught ChatGPT to teach me board games, and now I won’t ever go back

Teaching complex board games seems like the perfect task for ChatGPT. Being able to ask it specific questions is a whole lot easier than flipping through a rules manual or digging through forum posts online.

And after weeks of effort and a healthy dose of prompt engineering, I have created the ultimate board game rules lawyer with ChatGPT. It can "learn" any game you throw at it, base games and expansions, and can answer nuanced questions accurately, with rulebook references so you can check its work.

Apple CEO says he uses ChatGPT, weeks after Apple banned it
Tim Cook at WWDC 2022.

Apple had one of its largest WWDC keynotes in recent memory this year, with monumental announcements like the new Vision Pro headset. But one area where Apple was shockingly silent was AI, especially after the cascading rise of apps like ChatGPT.

Apple's CEO, Tim Cook, said the company is being patient with AI for now in an interview with Good Morning America. "I do think it's so important to be very deliberate and very thoughtful in the development and the deployment of [Large Language Models]," Cook said. "Because they can be so powerful that you worry about things like bias, things like misinformation, maybe worse in some cases."

A word of warning
There are a lot of ChatGPT clones, AI chatbots that claim to be based on GPT-4, or sites and services that claim to give you access to GPT-4. They are almost entirely false, and in some cases can be bundled with dangerous malware. GPT-4 API access is limited by OpenAI, and the costs involved in using GPT-4 for an app can be incredibly high, so smaller developers are unlikely to be able to deliver a GPT-4 experience, even if they aren't lying.
