ChatGPT Can Now Watch and Interact With You in Real Time

OpenAI took the wraps off ChatGPT's long-promised video capabilities Thursday, letting users point their phones at objects for real-time AI analysis—a feature that's been gathering dust since its first demo in May. Previously, you could input text, charts, voice, or still photos and interact with GPT. This feature, released late Thursday, allows GPT to watch you in real time and conversationally provide feedback. For instance, in my tests, this mode was able to solve math problems, give food rec...
