ChatGPT is back in the headlines! OpenAI, the company behind the popular chatbot, has now introduced a powerful new language: GPT-4.
Several months ago, GPT-4 showed the world how smarter it is than the previous (先前的) GPT-3.5. For example, if you show a picture of a phone using the wrong charger, GPT-4 can tell why the picture looks strange or funny.
But GPT-4's developments are far more than that. The new language model can code (用代码编写) classic games in only a few minutes, and it also can produce the code and layouts (布局) for a website with a hand-made drawing. According to some scientists, GPT-4 did really well on a school test, with a score in the top 10 percent of test takers.
GPT-4 will also be widely used in other apps and services. For example, the language learning app Duolingo plans to use GPT-4 in their Duolingo Max Function. Another app, Be My Eyes, will have a digital assistant to help blind people understand the world around them.
GPT4 still can't get completely correct answers sometimes, especially with newer information after September 2021. GPT-4 also sometimes "hallucinates (产生幻觉)", it means that GPT-4 will think the wrong information is true.
A. GPT-4 is very popular to young people. B. App users can learn language by talking with AI. C. But GPT-3.5 only got a score in the bottom 10 percent. D. There are still some problems with GPT-4, however. E. You don't need to pay anything when you use GPT-4. F. One of its advantages is that it can understand pictures. G. GPT-4 is also much better than the older GPT at taking tests. |

People have worked to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Chinese characters over the centuries. The most important changes happened in the twentieth century.

This simpler system is used in the mainland (大陆) of China and Singapore. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} characters are used in Chinese Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. Even with these changes, Chinese writing from 2,200 years ago is still understood today.
