OpenAI has announced the integration of Wolfram|Alpha with ChatGPT, giving the latter "computational superpowers." Previously, while ChatGPT could produce text like what it had learned from the web, it couldn't perform nontrivial computations or generate correct data. With the integration of Wolfram|Alpha, ChatGPT can now make calculations and produce correct data. The technology is still in its early stages, but the potential for ChatGPT + Wolfram is exciting and revolutionary.
ChatGPT Formulates Query for Wolfram|Alpha, Giving Correct Results
Under the hood, ChatGPT sends a query to Wolfram|Alpha for computation, after which it decides what to say based on the results it receives. An example of this is the question, "How far is it from Tokyo to Chicago?" The result is a correct one, found through actual computation. Additionally, a bonus is the visualization of the path. ChatGPT's integration with Wolfram|Alpha knits a good, correct result into a nice, flowing piece of text.
Wolfram Integration Helps ChatGPT Produce Accurate Results
Other examples of the integration's benefits include answering the question "What is the integral?" and creating a visualization of the result. The technology is also able to generate correct data for questions such as "Tell me about livestock populations." ChatGPT's integration with Wolfram|Alpha has a significant impact on the accuracy of its results.
ChatGPT "Brain Implant" Gives Accurate, Curated Knowledge and Data
With the integration, Wolfram|Alpha is acting as a "brain implant" for ChatGPT. The latter can ask Wolfram|Alpha things whenever it needs to and get responses that it can weave back into whatever it is doing. This gives ChatGPT the ability to deliver accurate, curated knowledge and data, as well as perform correct, nontrivial computations.
Wolfram Integration Enables ChatGPT to Deliver Original Content
The Wolfram integration also allows ChatGPT to produce "truly original" content, as it can perform computations that have never been done before. Additionally, Wolfram|Alpha can provide up-to-the-moment data, enabling ChatGPT to deliver the most current information.
