TECH: OpenAI released another big update today. The company today launched Canvas, its text and code editing tool, to all ChatGPT users worldwide. “Canvas is now available to all ChatGPT users, and can execute code!…More importantly, “It can still turn your writing into emoji,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote in a post announcing the development.
It is worth noting that OpenAI first announced Canvas in October this year. However, at the time, the tool was only available to select users in beta mode with limited features. Now, almost two and a half months later, the AI startup has made Canva available to all its users around the world on the web and ChatGPT's desktop app for Windows.
