GPT-4, like GPT-3 before it, has a capability overhang; at the time of release, neither OpenAI or its various deployment partners have a clue as to the true extent of GPT-4's capability surface - that's something that we'll get to collectively discover in the coming years. This also means we don't know the full extent of plausible misuses or harms.
