| Welcome to the **221st** issue!What will be the impact of [GPT-4o](https://openai.com/index/hello-gpt-4o/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F221) on testing?Thanks to its new ability to interpret more input sources, such as audio, image or video, it immediately got the attention of the testing community.In one example, someone tried to [automate web UI tests from a single screenshot](https://www.youtube.com/watch?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F221&v=ZFzBDPpeP04).The result? It's a significant improvement in assisting testing but it's not taking it over... yet.However, keep in mind that we might also face other problems because, apparently, [GPT-4o's Safety Tests Started Failing](https://jarbon.medium.com/gpt4o-safety-tests-start-to-fail-4204bf7b98dc?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F221), as [Jason Arbon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonarbon/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F221) points out.So, whatever the future brings... happy testing! 🙂*[Dawid Dylowicz](https://linkedin.com/in/dawid-dylowicz/?utm%5Fcampaign=Software%2BTesting%2BWeekly&utm%5Fsource=Software%5FTesting%5FWeekly%5F221)*                                                                                                                                                                                    |
