?? This Week’s Spotlight: ChatGPT 4 Vision

This week, we're excited about ChatGPT Vision and its new voice features, rolling out since September 25, 2023. This upgrade lets ChatGPT see and hear, making it even more helpful in daily tasks. Imagine it suggesting recipes from a fridge photo or describing landmarks. It's not just about convenience; ChatGPT Vision can also aid in diagnosing medical images or make cars safer. It opens up countless possibilities for creating, learning, and improving accessibility. Here's a quick look at what it offers:

Here's what you need to know in a nutshell:

• Image Analysis: Understands and describes pictures.
• Accessibility: Makes online content easier for visually impaired people to enjoy.
• Creative Content: Helps create texts from images.
• Learning Tools: Explains visuals for educational purposes.
• Industry Uses: From healthcare diagnostics to safer cars.

With these enhancements, ChatGPT Vision is transforming both personal tasks and professional fields, offering new solutions and opportunities.

??My Experiment with Vision

In my own experiments with ChatGPT Vision, it’s been a game changer from the kitchen to the garden. I’ve used it to turn what’s in my fridge into delicious meals, figure out what’s wrong with my rose plant and how to fix it, and even recreate a salad I saw in a restaurant, all from pictures. This has shown me just how much ChatGPT Vision can make our daily lives easier and more creative.

In one of my favourite experiments, I used ChatGPT Vision with something close to many of our hearts (and stomachs): food. I took a picture of an appetizing salad I came across at a restaurant, wondering if ChatGPT Vision could not only identify the ingredients but also help me recreate the recipe at home. The result? A step-by-step guide to bringing that delicious dish from photo to plate.

It’s really exciting to see how it can help not just in our personal tasks but in work situations too.
