For coders developing with AI, OpenAI’s latest announcement was a bombshell: a new ChatGPT Code Interpreter plugin with a host of features that could revolutionize programmer workflows. Available next week specifically to ChatGPT Plus subscribers, the tool is another milestone in AI’s fast-advancing capabilities, following the rollout of GPT-4<\/a> and the introduction of web browsing<\/a>,<\/p>\n

With a focus on data visualization, the code interpreter\u2014similar to a plugin from Wolfram\u2014can transform data into more digestible, comprehensive formats. The ability to generate clean Python code, as well as converting files between formats, is also within its purview.<\/p>\n

Code Interpreter will be available to all ChatGPT Plus users over the next week.<\/p>\n

It lets ChatGPT run code, optionally with access to files you’ve uploaded. You can ask ChatGPT to analyze data, create charts, edit files, perform math, etc.<\/p>\n

But OpenAI’s new tool doesn’t stop there. It has also proven to be effective in unconventional tasks\u2014like proving to people who believe that the Earth is flat that the Earth is, in fact, round. Or rather, spherical.<\/p>\n

Ethan Mollick, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, shared in his blog<\/a> how ChatGPT can “use Code Interpreter in a novel and interesting way,” like using facts and code to fight against flat Earthers. “I asked it to prove to a doubter that the Earth is round with code, and it provided multiple arguments, integrating the text with code and images.”<\/p>\n

decrypt <\/i>tried a similar approach<\/a> and the results, although not the same, were similar. To demonstrate that the earth is round, ChatGPT calculated the latitude on Earth needed to observe a star at a given angle above the horizon. Using Python code, it used the star Sirius as an example. After running the calculation, ChatGPT concluded that observing Sirius at an altitude of 20 degrees above the horizon would require a latitude near the North Pole.<\/p>\n
