Why GPT-4 is Better

Understanding and Generating Language

Very good at making sense of and creating text based on what it learned up to 2021.

Even better at understanding and creating text, with learning that includes information up to early 2023.

GPT-4 is like a more up-to-date and sharper student. It "learns" from more recent information, making its answers and creations more relevant to today's world.

Handling Complex Questions

Can deal with tricky questions but sometimes gets lost if the conversation gets too complicated.

Better at keeping track of complex conversations and can handle more complicated questions smoothly.

GPT-4 is like a more focused student who doesn't lose track during complicated discussions. This means it can help teachers and students dive deeper into subjects without getting confused.

Updated Knowledge

Knows a lot up to 2021, but doesn't have information on events or developments after that.

Has knowledge that includes more recent events and developments up to early 2023.

GPT-4 is the student who has read the latest books and articles. This makes it a great resource for learning about and understanding the most current events and ideas.

Helping with Education

Great at assisting with a wide range of subjects up to a college level.

Even better at helping, with abilities that might extend into more complex and advanced topics, possibly at postgraduate levels.

GPT-4 is like a tutor who's not only good at explaining high school stuff but can also tackle university-level topics and beyond, making it a valuable partner in learning and teaching.


Picture of the Evolution of AI in Education


In simple terms, think of GPT-4 as the newer, smarter version of your favorite educational app or tool. It's like going from a really good smartphone to the latest model: it just knows more, does things better, and is more in tune with what's happening now. For teachers, GPT-4 means having a more capable assistant that can provide more accurate, up-to-date information and handle complex discussions with ease. This makes teaching more effective, engaging, and relevant to today's rapidly changing world.
