GPT-4 is a major leap forward, offering more knowledge, versatility, and potential than its predecessor, GPT-3. It’s like the difference between a chatbot and a personal AI assistant. On ChatGPT, accessing GPT-4’s capabilities is not free of charge. A ChatGPT Plus subscription, priced at $20 per month, is required to unlock these features, given that GPT-4 is more advanced and computationally demanding.
However, the Copilot app for smartphones generously offers this model without additional cost. Just like you access basic features without a Microsoft account, the GPT-4 model is integrated as a basic feature in the app. Users have the flexibility to switch responses and use this model even when not signed in.
Activating GPT-4 is a straightforward process. Navigate to the main screen where you type in your prompts, hit the toggle for GPT-4, and it will replace the standard GPT-3. When you get a purple highlight on the main screen elements, that’s your sign that GPT-4 is in action. An instant chat notification will also inform users of the shift to GPT-4, accompanied by a warning note about potential slower responses due to the switch.
