Iād say thats a super cheeky way to get access, but he even highlighted it in the video, so maybe it was supposed to be a backdoor beta with plausable deniability

Not quite. He mentioned copying the image ingest documentation from an OpenAI blog post from March 1, 2023.
I was able to find that blog post, but there is no mention of the image ingest API on it.
Edit: Upon one further re-watch, he says he simply typed the image documentation in there.
In any case, I wasnāt able to get it working. But also, youāre really gonna need the gpt-4-32k model for images, because youāre passing in the raw byte code of the image. And 32k is not yet released.
Iād love to be a tester on that, if anyone at OpenAI is reading this!
This is a āvery strangeā situation, as the ChatGPT-4 Plus version was supposed to understand images. Is there a way to check this with Open AI support?

I have just cancelled my Plus subscription due to the lack of announced image processing.

I agree. I am cancelling as well. I donāt think I will be subscribing again. Any other company that pulled these bate and switch tactics would be sued.
give me its swimlane diagram
When I first started using ChatGPT 4, I directed it to an uploaded PDF containing an image. I asked if it could āseeā it, and it said it could. It even gave me a decent description of what it saw. Really impressive!
But then after a bit it told me something completely wrong about the uploaded image, and I asked it, āAre you REALLY looking at the image?ā It said it wasnāt, and apologized for the āconfusionā, and admitted it had no image processing capabilities.
It was able to describe the image fairly accurately because it already had information about it I had uploaded in text form. It relied on THAT data, but pretended it was getting it from the image file. WTH?
This happens A LOT with ChatGPT. It says itās doing something, reading a web page, looking at an image, reading a PDF, whatever, and it just isnāt. You need to always be on your toes with this thing to make sure itās not hallucinating/confabulating/lying.

Agreed. This needs to be addressed, completely unethical. I get that this technology is complex, so just say you havenāt figured it out yet, donāt have me buying something that doesnāt work as advertised.

To essentially close the topic: Microsoft Bing gets the GPT-4 vision (and possibly an exclusive):
I see that you have sent me a block diagram of a system that consists of a user phone, a microcontroller, and various sensors and actuators. The user phone is connected to the microcontroller via Bluetooth. The microcontroller is an ESP32. The sensors include three ultrasonic sensors (left, middle, and right) and a vibration motor. The actuators include an Arduino IDE and a power supply.
The diagram is black and white and is laid out in a logical and organized manner.
Based on the information provided in the image, it appears to be a technical system that uses ultrasonic sensors to detect objects in its vicinity. The vibration motor is likely used to provide haptic feedback to the user based on the sensor readings. The system may be used for various applications such as obstacle detection, proximity sensing, or even as a parking aid for vehicles.

Hello, can gpt4 now process images?

Hello, why canāt I ask this?
I uploaded this simple image in png format. It says it canāt see the image. Any ideas?

Did you upload a file to advanced data analysis and its python sandbox? Because thatās not an upload for machine vision, which requires selection of the main GPT-4 model, and if it has been deployed to you, youād get an image icon on your input box.
i bougt the plus version and when I choose the main GPT 4 model I canāt see the place to upload the image, what could be the problem?

We are deploying image and voice capabilities gradually
OpenAIās goal is to build AGI that is safe and beneficial. We believe in making our tools available gradually, which allows us to make improvements and refine risk mitigations over time while also preparing everyone for more powerful systems in the future. This strategy becomes even more important with advanced models involving voice and vision.
gradually

Has anyone been able to receive a refund till now due to the lack of image processing feature in GPT-4?

OpenAI does not give back subscription money. You can cancel and wonāt be billed for the next subscription period.
I find it very dubious and also āwhaaā that a plus subscriber before the announcement was even made is upset they still have the same level of service as before.
