It amazes me to no end that some people would feed private conversations and other sensitive data into an experimental chat bot. Don’t these people not know that ChatGPT it not a mature technology, that does not reliably isolate sessions and may even permanently ingest user data for training purposes? GPT and other LLMs are currently integrated into countless products and hobbyist projects. Expect an avalanche of law…

People continue to push this, without reading the privacy statements regarding API use. https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies https://openai.com/blog/introducing-chatgpt-and-whisper-apis

Even if you accept their pinky promise, won't people seeing others people's conversations just a few weeks ago?

Great work! Thanks for taking the time to build this and open sourcing it. For me, it scratches on a very real itch. I’ve toyed with the idea of a personal AI assistant to act as a second brain, and help me prioritize and remember things with human intuition (“you can’t afford to delay X, do X today and maybe reach out to Z to set the expectations for delaying Y?”). To me, the greatest strength of LLMs is not their k…

> a personal AI assistant to act as a second brain, and help me prioritize and remember things with human intuition Everyone wants this, but this is not the product. The current AI offerings are information in --> information out. It is not meant to keep state long term, and it is not meant to be your friend. It is meant to answer questions with the information available to it. You can even see in the example screens…

That's just the case for this bot, but is obviously not the case for ChatGPT.

I have a long running conversation with ChatGPT that I use to keep track of a verbal to-do list. I tell it my items with categories (e.g. work, personal, etc.) and estimated times, and then it outputs my complete task list, grouped by category. I then just tell it when I add tasks or complete tasks, and it continually keeps track of and outputs my current outstanding task list.

I've been using this for weeks now, and since it's all in a single conversation ChatGPT can keep track of the entire state over time.

I don't have access to plugins yet but it would be trivial to implement a personal AI assistant with ChatGPT if it could, for example, look up flight times and prices.

For people who are looking for a hosted solution: https://t.me/marcbot

Being able to use voice messages as an interface makes a huge difference. I can just ramble on, sharing my thoughts, and then have GPT turn it into something sensible.

Great for brainstorming, getting your thoughts out on "paper", etc.

This is the new hello world.

I tried building this for WhatsApp but Twilio is weirdly expensive. I don't even think Twilio is cheap for sending 2FA tokens.

Does anyone have a suggestion for doing something similar with SMS? I've been tinkering with it but it seems that there are some regulations that will require me to have a commercial organization registered to allow SMS to 10 digit North America numbers.

I don't think you need a commercial organization registered to get a number on Twilio.

I hooked up an old Twilio number I bought a while ago to ChatGPT for an ADHD encouragement bot last week: https://attaboy.ai

Now I can message it via. WhatsApp or Telegram and it even remembers chat history (by storing the last ~20 messages in Firebase).

I want something like this but I don't want to have to host it myself. Is there any I can simply sign up to?

I made https://t.me/marcbot a few weeks ago. Comes with voice memo support, etc.

Page crashed?

GPT4 is so much better than 3.5 at virtually everything that I don't think it's worth trying to figure out which ones 3.5 is almost adequate enough for. Also, the pricing is per token, so even with 4 it is close to negligible unless you are loading in a lot of context or your conversation gets very long.

The real problem with 4 is that OpenAI are having trouble keeping up with the demand.

So it might not be an option until 4 turbo comes out in 37 hours or whatever their development cycle is these days.
