Master ChatGPT 4 Discover the Latest AI Advances

If you’re a lawyer looking to become an AI expert on platforms like ChatGPT, then you’ve come to the right place.

If you’ve been on the internet at all recently, you know about ChatGPT.

 ChatGPT, or Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is an AI (artificial intelligence) program launched in November 2022 by OpenAI.  The latest model, GPT-4, officially launched this March 13, 2023. 

Within a week of its launch, it crossed the 1-million-user mark, far surpassing other tech giants like Facebook, Instagram, and Netflix, which took 2.5, 10, and months respectively to reach that milestone.  

It has been called the “calculator for writing,” as it is already getting rid of certain routine tasks to a degree. ChatGPT is capturing the attention and awe of users with its lightning-quick ability to produce high-quality written content. But it does have a few weaknesses. 

We’ve previously covered the potential and pitfalls of ChatGPT but let’s have a look at its limitations, too.

  • Outdated data: ChatGPT relies on a knowledge base that ends in 2021. At this time it cannot search the internet for new information from 2022-2023, meaning its results could be outdated. 
  • No references: ChatGPT does not cite or source any references, so you will never know where it got the data, resources, or information it delivers. 

Understanding and Harnessing the Latest in AI: GPT-4

With these limitations in mind, legal professionals can still benefit from using ChatGPT, especially with its latest powerful model GPT-4. Before diving into the best prompt engineering, let’s take a look at the latest ChatGPT model: GPT-4. 

GPT-4 is the latest cutting-edge technology in the world and it is available to all those with a premium ChatGPT account. This model has trillions of parameters. While we won’t delve into details, parameters are configuration variables and they are essential for the program to make predictions. In this case, these parameters are seeing a gigantic leap forward. Take a look:
