This is utterly incredible. I have so many ideas after reading way too much scifi and watching Ridley Scott’s scifi series, Raised By Wolves (what if we could create a benevolent, kind and caring ai to help humans grow and navigate into this world, like Father in the series)? I want to jump in, badly. How would one go about picking up the skills needed to create stuff like this? As pragmatically, concretely and effic…

Have you tried to make any of your ideas? If not, pick one and try to make it.

This is a great approach.

I want to build a benevolent, kind, caring and nurturing AI that one can go to for learning, understanding and support in navigating this world and being human.

I want to dump key knowledge into it that I have been fortunate enough to discern during my lifetime and knowledge from others that I regard highly. Kind of like what characterai is doing, but highly fined tuned and customized.

What skills do I need to do this? What tech do I need to learn? What books, moocs, etc. or even just words to look into? Just looking to be pointed in the right direction, I’ll take care of the rest.

Definitely not trying to reinvent gpt3 or anything like that, but looking to leverage these tools and customize and fine tune them highly

Isn't what you're describing simply "being a friend" with an encyclopedia? Why would you want to create a machine to do that if we're made like that?

In a sense instead of training a machine you could steer yourself to become that person. Call it being a life coach or a pastor. That's a lot less hassle than actual, true artificial intelligence (which needs to be invented as of yet).

I'm genuinely curious, not trying to piss on your parade or anything.

How easy is it to translate word by word like that? I was under the impression that generally it is hard because different languages have different word orders. Is it not necessary to have the whole sentence before starting? (Or maybe Polish is just conveniently similar to English in word order?)

Where does it appear to be going word by word to you? It's sweeping each sentence at a fixed number of milliseconds per character, set so that both languages finish simultaneously. Look at when "Donald Tusk" appears during the first line. Much sooner in English than in Polish, and both are happening before he actually says the name. The example from the game is doing entire sentences too.

I got caught up in the sci-fi of it all and assumed for some reason that the intended application was a sort of “live” translation. That is, not looking ahead at the whole video. Which of course doesn’t really make sense.

Not quite.

Here is my thinking, can’t be too elaborate because I’m typing on a phone keyboard, but here it is:

We live in the age of information. The amount of information out there is limitless.

This being the case, the importance lies in how a human being interfaces with this vast amount of information and which information out of the vast ocean of information is presented. Therefore curation is important. User experience is important. Discernment of what is actually valuable for a human being is also important. And how the user interacts with it is also important.

Chatgpt is one form of crafting this user interface/experience. There are other ways to go about it. The feel of the interface itself, how it presents itself to the human, and what exactly it presents are all key.

This is very different than say, an encyclopedia in which there is no discernment/bias of what is actually important for a human to know + very bad ui/ux.

And also, most importantly, a human will die. An ai model will not. A human can only speak to one person at a time. An ai model could speak to countless.

I developed an online course on serverless machine learning, where you can learn some of the principles of refactoring ML systems into separate feature/training/inference pipelines: https://github.com/featurestoreorg/serverless-ml-course

Some of the students have built similar systems, for example chaining Whisper and ChatGPT or translation or sentiment analysis of transcribed text, such as here (transcribe Swedish and tell me the sentiment of the text): https://huggingface.co/spaces/Chrysoula/voice_to_text_swedis...
