OpenAI has showcased the impressive capabilities of GPT-4o, its latest AI model, which is now capable of teaching languages like Portuguese thanks to its advanced speech features.
OpenAI recently revealed GPT-4o, its latest artificial intelligence model, during its last big update in May. This launch strangely coincided with the presentation of AI conversational Google’s Gemini, which offers similar capabilities. This new version of ChatGPT represents a significant improvement compared to its predecessors because it integrates advanced reconnaissance capabilities and of speech production, as well as vision and screen sharing skills. These new features aim to make interactions with AI more fluid and natural, almost indistinguishable from a human being.
A recent demonstration of GPT-4o has just highlighted its educational abilities. OpenAI showed how this AI can teach portuguesein a new video where an English speaker and a Spanish speaker use ChatGPT to improve their language skills. They can ask the program to slow down or explain terms, and it does so with remarkable accuracy.
GPT-4o could become the perfect teacher for learning a whole bunch of languages
What makes GPT-4o particularly interesting for language learning is its native speech recognition and production ability. Unlike previous models which had to convert speech into text then response, GPT-4o understands and responds directly to voice. This ability allows you to work with many languagesto adopt different accents and to modify the tone and liveliness of the voice, making a ideal teacher. For example, AI can listen to your pronunciation, analyze your accent, and offer direct feedback based on what it hears.
In addition to his vocal abilities, GPT-4o possesses impressive reasoning and communication skills. problems solving, which allows it to detect less obvious errors in language learning. Demonstrations include creating sound effects during story telling and using multiple voices. In the official OpenAI videos, GPT-4o is also shown as a math teacherand now it is even possible to use it in the latest Volkswagen cars.
