OpenAI recently announced an upgrade to ChatGPT (Apple, Android) that adds two features: AI voice options to hear the chatbot responding to your prompts, and image analysis capabilities. The image function is similar to what’s already available for free with Google’s Bard chatbot.
Even after hours of testing the limits and capabilities of ChatGPT, OpenAI’s chatbot still manages to surprise and scare me at the same time. Yes, I was quite impressed with the web browsing beta offered through ChatGPT Plus, but I remained anxious about the tool’s ramifications for people who write for money online, among many other concerns. The new image feature arriving for OpenAI’s subscribers left me with similarly mixed feelings.
While I’ve not yet had the opportunity to experiment with the new audio capabilities (other great reporters on staff have), I was able to test the soon-to-arrive image features. Here’s how to use the new image search coming to ChatGPT and some tips to help you start out.
While the update is expected to arrive before the end of the year, it’s unclear exactly when the image and voice features will roll out to the public. As with most of OpenAI’s updates, like the GPT-4 version of ChatGPT, paying subscribers are first in line to receive access.
There are three ways to upload photos in the ChatGPT mobile app. First, you can select the camera option located to the left of the message bar and take a fresh photo with your smartphone. Before uploading the image, you can use your finger to draw a circle around whatever you’d like the chatbot to focus on.
You can also choose photos from your device to upload and select files that are saved to your phone. Desktop browser users of ChatGPT can just upload saved photos from their computer. Even though there’s no option yet to upload videos to the chatbot, you can submit multiple images in a single prompt.
