0:00 ChatGPT launched the new feature Canvas last month. I really can’t believe it. I just started using it recently because I didn’t know how to use it. It’s really amazing. So what exactly is Canvas? To put it simply, it is AI combined with text editing. Now let 's directly look at what's inside the window. It's ChatGPT. Isn't it possible to select a model in the upper left corner? Then you'll find that there 's an additional GPT4o with Canvas here. After clicking this, why doesn't the window seem to have changed ? We will talk about it in a moment. At present, it is only open to paying users . It is said that it will be open to free users in the future. So you can wait and see. So let’s talk about it. What is the difference between this Canvas and the general model? In fact, the most important thing is Didn’t the previous ChatGPT have one question and one answer? If you give it a question, it will throw it back and give you an answer. In fact, there is a big problem if you want to write an article or a very long document today.
0:46 There are two super big pain points. The first one is that every answer is super short. No matter how you ask it to answer a longer answer today, it will always give you that short article and then come back. The second pain point is that it cannot be partially edited. If you just ask it to change a title today, it may change the entire document into a mess and then throw it back to you . I believe everyone has experience , so most people who want to write an article may open a separate document and leave it alone . Do you use Word or Memo? I use Memo myself. So in order to solve these problems, Canvas is a new function that was born for editing files . Canvas, as the name suggests, is a canvas. You can paint and make changes on it. Then Use the power of AI to accelerate the production of articles. So if you want to know how to use the Canvas function of ChatGPT, let’s continue reading. Then you must first enable the Canvas function. There must be some content. Whether you have to ask it a question to let it You can produce content
1:31 or you can throw some content into it yourself. In short, you must first have a base . For example, if I throw it a question now , what happens after it throws the answer to me? This is the basis of my today’s file . To enable Canvas, I just enter enable Canvas in the dialog box and it will jump to this window. It feels a bit like switching to Canvas mode. So let's take a look at what is in its interface first. Let's see the dialog box on the left. This dialog box is actually the dialog box we used in the interactive mode of ChatGPT. It is exactly the same. What is different is the window of the file on the right. You can modify it today through the dialog on the left. The content on the right, this document on the right,
2:16 is the main body of our editing. There are two main editing methods. The first is to modify the content on the right through the dialog box on the left. For example, I want him to check some information today and edit it. You can directly ask him here to add it in or ask him to help me check some facts . Sometimes he will not directly modify the content. You may have to ask him to do this or that . The second way to edit is that you can type directly on the right side, just like a normal text editor. Or the second way is if you look at the plus sign on the right side and click on it. This other dialogue window appears . This is actually a partial editing function . You can use AI to partially edit . You can ask him to modify it or ask him to check some information. Then you can even select the entire paragraph. He can also directly edit it here. Enable this dialogue mode
3:01 , so this part of editing can actually ensure that he will not randomly change your entire document today. You just draw the boundary, so this was a really big pain point before. With this mode, it is really It’s a lot more convenient , so you can think of this function like a memo or Word has added AI functions, but you can’t find its interface no matter how hard you look for it. For example, you can’t find the options for selecting fonts and colors, and you can’t even change the size of the text. You can't adjust it yourself , so here we are going to talk about another very interesting function. With Canvas, all these trivial things can be left to AI. So we have a button in the lower right corner of the screen . There are some ready-made editing functions here. You can directly ask him to help you format the file. For example, if we try this add final polish, he will automatically help you with the title, subtitle, and key points in it. Once everything is formatted,
3:47 you don't need to manually input it at all. So Canvas is actually very useful. It can be used to edit the document formatting part , and then for this part of editing, it doesn't matter whether you want AI to edit it for you or type it yourself. It can all be used , and it can also help you check the data. And all the functions that were previously available in ChatGPT are available here. In a moment, we will also enter a program writing mode. In that mode, it can help You can debug and add comments or even switch the programming language directly. Of course, after everyone reads it, you will feel that it actually has many areas for improvement. But I think this kind of AI combined with the function of a text editor should really become standard in the future. Otherwise, it would be really tiring to have to type and adjust the style yourself. I also know that many manufacturers should already be doing this function, including Microsoft Office. They should want to achieve this, but I still feel like it. I haven’t used it. If you have used Office and their similar functions,
4:33 you are welcome to tell me in the comment area below whether you think it is good or not . Then what happens next? We have briefly introduced the general interface of this Canvas, and then we will come to the actual implementation. Demonstrate how to use this Canvas. For example, let’s say I just asked him for an introduction to each hair dryer. Suppose I now want to add the air volume arrangement of each hair dryer. I can directly tell him what I want in this window here. How do you do it and he will automatically add some additional information for me ? Well, what I think is great here is that you can see what he has modified . Just click Edit and the green part is where he added the new information for me. The red part of the information is the part he deleted , so what I think is great here is that this function can actually check the information online , and you can also frame it in some places and ask him to verify the correctness of the information , but In fact, he will still make mistakes, so don’t trust him too much . Basically, he will record every step for you.
5:18 So if you want to revert to which version, click Restore this version at the bottom and then the editing function on the right side. For example, I can select it as a whole today , and then here I can ask him to modify it or Verify the information . After verifying the information, if you think it is well written, you can also directly copy it and add it to this document. Or you can also order him to say where to add it, so its usage is actually It is quite flexible in that you can use your creativity to modify the file like this. However, there is still a disadvantage that it may still modify your file randomly. Sometimes you obviously only want to partially edit it , but it may It will still change your entire document, so this is a big problem for me now . For example, I will try it now and ask him to add it in.
6:04 There seems to be some problems with his understanding. For example, I Just now, I wanted to ask him to add this paragraph of text to the end of the air volume data, but he would just replace the entire paragraph like this. So he actually still has a lot of problems . He has to figure out how to get along with him. This is good for him to understand. Next, let’s take a look at the button on the right. This button is actually quite good. The first one is to add emoji . After you send it, he will help you add a lot of cute ones to the article. Emoji, but not many people should use this. It’s better to demonstrate it. Then you will find that the way it is generated now is exactly the same as ChatGPT on the iPhone. The animation is exactly the same, but there is no beautiful gradient rainbow. Myself It’s a private message that I hope this function can be put into the notes
6:49 on our iPhone in the future . He said that my article is too long, so he still has strength problems. This is quite troublesome. Then the second one is what we have just demonstrated. This function of add final polish allows you to adjust some formats for you after the entire document is completed, such as large and small labels, etc. So we have already seen this, so we will skip it first and then come to it. The next one is Reading. What is level ? Today, after you click on it, there will be a place for you to choose. If you adjust it up, it will become a research institute level , or if you adjust it down, it will become a kindergarten. This means that you can adjust it. Its readability , for example, is this a very formal document today or is it a document you want to show to children ? Then you can adjust it here, for example, let's adjust it to research institute level. Will he delete my emoji himself and take a look ? He really deleted it.
7:36 Not bad. So everyone can take a look at the difference. He just wrote it to look like a research paper. Let's take a look. Let’s look at what will happen if it is used in kindergarten. If you adjust it to kindergarten, it will write very vernacular. I think in this era if you want to do self-media, the ability to write in vernacular is very important. Just reading time is already very short. Then they have no way to absorb very difficult words. Like when I am skating something, the first one is if I find that he has a lot of words, I will just swipe away . The second one is if the words he uses to write are difficult, I don’t want to read it , so This function is actually quite important. It is the ability to write in vernacular . Of course, there are other intermediate values in the middle. You can adjust which one is more suitable for the article you want to write now. Then the next function is to adjust the length.
8:22 Adjust the length. Really It’s super necessary. Often if you want him to write more, he will delete the mess and then modify it and throw it back to you. So now with this function, you can force him to write very long articles. Now let’s try it. Of course, you can force him to do it. If you lengthen the article, he may start to write some redundant words, so it depends on personal choice . Look at the original length and then modify it. Then, I can also watch his editing process and see what he added. Which words are actually just adding more adjectives, but I think one advantage of lengthening is that you can see how he writes or what he adds, and you can refer to his point of view, because like me, sometimes I Maybe if I have no inspiration or ideas, I will ask him to write more things . For example, if he has written ten points , then I may pick two of them
9:07 and extend them, so I also feel that the extension function is very good. It's important. Let's try it again and see what happens if we shorten it to very short. It will look like key points. Sometimes when looking at something, you may need to absorb the key points immediately. You can use this function . Then let's see the end. One function is to send out suggestions for revisions . Wow, it is very good to directly review the manuscript for you . It will add some things that you may not have thought of. I think it is quite useful for reference , or you can finish writing some by yourself today. If you don't want him to help you change things but you want him to give you some suggestions, you can also use this function to modify the suggested parts . So in fact, the button on the right is something that ChatGPT can do, but now it changes It’s a visual row of functions. It’s pretty good. You can force him to help you lengthen your articles,
9:54 provide suggestions , and add this interface. I think it’s really well designed. In terms of publishing, this version has just been released. It is even just a Beta version now. I think its interface is already designed very well. Well, the interface we just looked at is actually a dedicated interface for document editing. In fact, Canvas also has another mode, which is the mode for writing programs . Now let’s take a look at how to open this programming interface. Then we do the same thing and ask him to enable Canvas. Then you will find that it is not activated successfully. It must automatically jump to the Canvas window to be considered successful. What should you do at this time? You just type "Activate Canvas" in English and it will enter this interface. If you have successfully enabled the Canvas function , then he will write what you just threw to him
10:39 . If you write it again , you will find that the entire interface has now become an editing function for writing programs. The usage is the same as before . You can also directly tell him what you want him to modify or verify for you. Then you can also edit part of it here. You can enter it yourself or you can ask him to help you write it like this. In fact, the biggest difference is It’s the button in the lower right corner that has different functions. It mainly focuses on the functions that the program will use. Let’s take a look at what the functions of this row are. First of all, the first one is to add comments, which is the part of the alarm signal. You can ask him to rewrite it for you or write a new one. Of course, that’s no problem. Let’s give it a try and it will be the same. You can take a look at where he has modified it. He really added that comment to every line for me. There are so many comments. You can tell that there should be no need to explain it. Anyway, he will explain
11:25 what is written in your program. In this way , its usage is the same. You can reply to the previous version, which is quite convenient. For example, what did you do? One step turns out to have started writing errors several versions ago. If you can reply to the previous version, then we will continue to look at other functions. The next function is to add a log, which means that it will insert the *log in the key part. Statements can help you track the execution of some programs. Let's try to see these green places. He added them for me. Of course, you can't completely rely on them. They will still make mistakes to some extent , but I think it's great. You can. Let’s take a look at his approach . Let’s look at the debugging part. He will help you correct what he thinks you wrote wrong , but in fact it may not be correct. Let’s try it because I am not an expert in programming
12:11 myself. I'm really a layman , but I can tell that some of the things in it are actually not the latest version , so it will help you change it to what you think is the latest version , so you can't completely rely on this function of it and then move on to the next one. I think it's quite amazing. It can automatically switch the programming language for you. If you want to switch to another language, you can directly select it here and then send it directly . It will help you write it in another language. This is amazing, but because I just don’t know what the actual status of the program is , I don’t know what the quality of his writing is , so I’ll leave this part to you to play with and see. Next, let’s take a look at the end. A function. This is a function of the review. It's a bit like a suggestion. I suggest you how to optimize your program. It's the same feeling as when we wrote the article.
12:57 He will add some notes here, which are some suggestions. Part, then you will find that he cut it into English. Because what I just said was not activate canvas, did I use English? So he started to answer me in English , but you can tell him yourself that you want to use Chinese like this So the main function of Canvas is almost introduced here. I don’t know if you think this interface is easy to use because I haven’t used it myself for a long time. I still need to spend some time getting along with it , but I have a small problem recently. That is, when I use the normal mode, he will automatically help me start using the networking function. I didn’t want to connect to the Internet in that conversation , but he will suddenly start to help me check information and then connect to the Internet, which makes me feel very annoyed . In fact, there are quite a lot of cases like this, how do you say ultra vires? It crosses the boundary that he should have. I think
13:42 this kind of situation also happens a lot in Canvas. You didn't ask him to do anything, but he did something for you without authorization. Is there something wrong with understanding? I think we need to be more precise when giving orders , and you have to adapt to the way he understands the article, because sometimes when you say which paragraph comes after or which paragraph comes before, he actually I don’t understand, and I think this has something to do with language, because I find that sometimes he understands you when you speak in English. I don’t know if anyone has this situation. I think this is also an important point . Today you found that he can’t do anything no matter what. If I can't understand you or some problem can never be solved, you can switch to English and talk to him and see if he suddenly understands. Especially the language model is that I sometimes talk to him recently and talk about it and find him. He didn’t understand what I wanted, so I told him in English and he suddenly understood. So I think Chinese users
14:27 are still a little weak , so I don’t know what you think of this function. I think it’s quite fun, but there are more things. You can study it and get along with him like this , and we are looking forward to it in the future because we know that ChatGPT on the iPhone will be integrated in the future. I believe their functions will be integrated more and more deeply . It is just a pity that Chinese users must have it. The official Chinese version will not be fully launched until next year . But if you want to be the first to play ChatGPT on iPhone , they will actually have the first English version of ChatGPT available to us on December 2 or 9. It’s on the iPhone, so you can also follow our channel to introduce the functions of iOS 18.2, which is ChatGPT connected to the iPhone. Well, our introduction today ends here. If you have any questions or want to share If you have any thoughts, please leave a message below and see you in the next video. Goodbye
