OpenAI has launched a novel feature named ChatGPT Pulse, focused on motivating users to interact more with the ChatGPT app on their mobile devices. Currently accessible as a preview for ChatGPT Pro users, ChatGPT Pulse is crafted to initiate conversations proactively, assisting users in optimizing their day. This feature is in harmony with OpenAI’s objective to make AI more proactive instead of merely reactive. For instance, rather than waiting for users to inquire about an upcoming trip, the AI could proactively suggest recommendations.
In spite of worries regarding AI security, including promptless attacks that manipulate AI to gain access to personal information, OpenAI reassures users that they will retain complete control over how and when ChatGPT sends prompts. Users can designate topics for ChatGPT to explore, and the AI will only dispatch prompts related to those themes.
ChatGPT Pulse is intended to deliver one daily update in the morning, establishing the AI as a beneficial tool to kickstart the day without inundating users with superfluous information. Users possess control over what the AI curates, ensuring it stays pertinent and useful.
An illustration of utilizing ChatGPT Pulse involves asking the bot to gather local events or sports news for a particular day. These updates are deleted at the end of the day unless saved or interacted with by the user. This feature corresponds with OpenAI’s vision for AI, although its success will hinge on how effectively it can sidestep prevalent AI pitfalls like hallucinations and misinformation.
