The New ChatGPT Is More Show Than Tell
wired ·
OpenAI has launched an "Intelligent UI" update for ChatGPT, powered by the new GPT-6 model, which introduces interactive visual elements to responses. This overhaul allows the chatbot to generate custom tools such as anatomy diagrams with clickable buttons and affordability calculators with movable sliders. The update aims to replace traditional walls of text with more engaging, multimodal experiences for over a billion users. While these features offer enhanced interactivity, OpenAI emphasizes that visuals are added only when they provide clear value rather than cluttering the interface. Users retain control over the experience and can request fewer visual outputs if preferred. This development mirrors similar generative UI initiatives announced by Google earlier this year. The shift toward AI-generated interfaces may challenge traditional design paradigms as software appearance becomes increasingly personalized.
