OpenAI Adds Interactive Visual Tools to ChatGPT Conversations
OpenAI is giving ChatGPT new ways to show information.
Instead of only writing answers, it can make things like diagrams, charts and calculators that people can interact with.
For example, it could draw a picture to explain how an airplane wing works.
It may also help with everyday activities, such as planning a hiking trip or working out savings.
OpenAI says these visuals are meant to make difficult ideas easier to understand.
People who prefer reading text can choose to see fewer visuals.
OpenAI is introducing Intelligent UI alongside GPT-6, adding interactive visual elements to ChatGPT conversations.
The system can generate tappable buttons, calculators, charts, editable graphs, diagrams, recipe visuals and maps.
A demonstration showed ChatGPT creating diagrams to explain how an airplane wing generates lift.
OpenAI says the visuals aim to make complex topics easier to understand and help users complete everyday tasks.
Users will be able to reduce visual content if they prefer traditional text-based responses.
