ChatGPT by open.ai

ChatGPT-3 is a conversational AI model developed by OpenAI, based on the GPT-3 architecture. Part of the "Generative Pre-trained Transformer" series, GPT-3 (short for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3") is a large language model designed to generate human-like text and interact in a conversational way.

Launched in 2020, GPT-3 made waves because of its impressive size and capabilities: it has 175 billion parameters, making it one of the largest language models of its time. This large scale allows GPT-3 to produce coherent, contextually relevant responses across a wide range of topics. ChatGPT-3 is an iteration of GPT-3, optimized specifically for back-and-forth interaction, commonly seen in customer support, tutoring, and virtual assistance.  (Description generated with ChatGPT)

ChatGPT-4 is the latest generation in OpenAI's line of language models, designed to be more capable and versatile than its predecessors, especially for complex tasks. Released in 2023, ChatGPT-4 is based on a refined architecture and typically performs better than GPT-3 in tasks that involve understanding nuanced context, handling complex questions, and engaging in more extended and coherent conversations.

 

Some of ChatGPT-4's improvements include:

Enhanced Understanding: It can handle more detailed prompts and generate nuanced responses. This makes it better at tasks like summarization, translation, and content creation.
Reduced Errors: ChatGPT-4 tends to have fewer issues with factual inaccuracy and logic, making it more reliable.
Multimodal Capabilities: ChatGPT-4 is designed to process not just text but also images, allowing it to analyze images or combine visual and text inputs.


Memory (in some versions): Select ChatGPT-4 models have memory for ongoing chats, letting them "remember" information across conversations, which is useful for long-term projects or interactions.
Available in several versions, including a free version powered by GPT-3.5 and a paid version powered by GPT-4, it’s widely used in applications such as ChatGPT, enterprise customer support, creative writing, and coding assistance. (per ChatGPT)

Glaze

Glaze is a tool to help artists to prevent their artistic styles from being learned and mimicked by new AI-art models such as MidJourney, Stable Diffusion and their variants. It is a collaboration between the University of Chicago SAND Lab and members of the professional artist community, most notably Karla Ortiz. Glaze has been evaluated via a user study involving over 1,100 professional artists. At a high level, here's how Glaze works:

  • Suppose we want to protect artist Karla Ortiz's artwork in her online portfolio from being taken by AI companies and used to train models that can imitate Karla's style.
  • Our tool adds very small changes to Karla's original artwork before it is posted online. These changes are barely visible to the human eye, meaning that the artwork still appears nearly identical to the original, while still preventing AI models from copying Karla's style. We refer to these added changes as a "style cloak" and changed artwork as "cloaked artwork." (Glaze, What is Glaze)
