OpenAI has released a new version of ChatGPT with new capabilities for text, video, and audio. Along with the new version come persistent questions about the new AI. Last night, I had a chat with the new ChatGPT about how AI works and how good it is.   (I do the same with people. How do they work, and how good are they?) My curiosity about the new technology that is going to save or end the world—depending on who you talk to—recently peaked in an interview I did a month or so ago exploring the state and challenges of music-generating AI.
