Generative artificial intelligences have become the big star in recent months and, without a doubt, ChatGPT is one of the reasons for this.. Although according to some experts the OpenAI chatbot is not as innovative as we think, and despite frequently making mistakes and inventing answers, there is no doubt that it has served to completely change the information search paradigm on the Internet.
This has been more than accredited with Microsoft’s very quick response with Bing, as well as Google’s plans with Bard. And although they are the most prominent cases, they are not the only ones. From Opera to Quora, many technology companies have joined the artificial intelligence revolution. We already said a few months ago that although 2022 had been a prolific year in terms of AI, 2023 was aiming much higher. We are not wrong.
Access to ChatGPT is free, but the same does not happen with GPT 3, the company’s generative text model and which, until now, was the only option for developers to integrate its functions into their applications. It is true that we have seen some implementations in which ChatGPT was used, but they are the fewest, since until now there was no OpenAI API that would allow developers to integrate it into their creations.
This has changed, as we can see in the official statement, OpenAI already offers an API for ChatGPT, which allows developers to integrate chatbot technology into their applications and services.. And there is also a very, very important aspect in this movement, and that is that the access cost that they will have to assume is reduced by 90% compared to what they had to pay to use the GPT 3 API. To give you a better idea, the ChatGPT API is priced at $0.002 per 1,000 tokens, which is about 750 words.
And what does this mean? Well, with this movement, OpenAI makes ChatGPT technology available to many small and medium-sized developers who, with this substantial price reduction, will be able to begin to include the functions of this generative AI in all kinds of applications and services, which, in turn, time, will mean that in the short and medium term, we are going to experience a boom in applications and services with integrated ChatGPT.
Planners that organize your agenda, email clients that answer for you and give you a summary of the emails you have received, services that will read anything for you and offer you an extract, word processors that will save you a lot of work… the list is huge and will continue to grow over timeso it will be strange that we do not end 2023, and even more so 2024, with ChatGPT more present than ever in our lives, even if we have not accessed its web version even once.
