Open-sauce AI: Am I a joke to you?

GPT-4 is 82% more persuasive than humans, and AIs can now read emotions

GPT-4 is already better at changing people's minds than the average human is, according to new research. The gap widens the more it knows about us – and once it can see us in real time, AI seems likely to become an unprecedented persuasion machine.

We don't tend to like thinking of ourselves as being particularly easy to manipulate, but history would appear to show that there are few things more powerful than the ability to sway people to align with your view of things. As Yuval Noah Harari points out in Sapiens, his potted history of humankind, "shared fictions" like money, religion, nation states, laws and social norms form the fundamental backbones of human society. The ability to assemble around ideas and co-operate in groups much bigger than our local tribes is one of our most potent advantages over the animal kingdom.

But ideas are mushy. We aren't born with them, they get into our heads from somewhere, and they can often be changed. Those that can change people's minds at scale can achieve incredible things, or even reshape our societies – for better and for much worse.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Users to Get Improved GPT-4 Turbo Model
For $30 per month, you can get unlimited Copilot conversations across almost all Microsoft products.

Microsoft Copilot is spreading through all the company's products, but under the hood, it's just a version of OpenAI's GPT AI models. That means not all copilots are created equal. Depending on your subscription status and where you're talking to Copilot, you might get a more capable AI model. Microsoft has announced a significant upgrade for business AI subscribers. These instances of Copilot will now run on the latest and greatest GPT-4 Turbo model.

There are several ways to pay for Copilot—in this case, it's the $30 subscription for Copilot in Microsoft 365. That gives you unlimited access to Copilot in Windows, the Copilot app, Edge, on the web, and inside Microsoft 365 apps. With the subscription, you can carry on AI conversations as often and for as long as you want. This option should be more robust than the free tier of Copilot, which uses GPT-4 Turbo if you switch to Creative or Precise modes.

GPT-4 Turbo has been trained on web data up through April 2023, so its storehouse of word calculations is just a year out of date. It has a context window of 128,000 tokens, the largest of any OpenAI model. That matches the initial release of Google's next-gen Gemini 1.5 Pro, but the search giant says it's working on a version with a larger 1-million token window. Generally, the more tokens a model can process, the more accurate the output.

Microsoft says the web version of Copilot has access to the latest data from the web. It also reminds everyone that its commercial data protection policy means that Microsoft will not retain any prompt data. However, that probably won't change the position of the US House of Representatives that no one working for the body should use Copilot.
