> 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 out…

ChatGPT can keep some state for you, but there is a limit to the amount of tokens you can keep going in an instance.

It’s enough to keep a todo list going, it’s not enough to make it your friend / coworker

If you built what you were describing right now, either the flight questions would push out your todo list, or you would need to build something to keep state yourself.

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).

Nice! I'm using twilio as well, will try to power through it.

Made something similar recently, but for WhatsApp: https://chatbling.net/ What behaviour would users prefer when uploading a voice message, a) the voice message is transcribed, so speech to text? Or b) the voice message is treated as a query, so you receive a text answer to your voice query? I've done a) for now as mobile devices already let you type with your voice.

I see my server has restarted a few times! I imagine it's folks here since I haven't shared Chat Bling elsewhere yet. Sorry to anyone who started generating images, but haven't received a response. The 'jobs' for images generations are stored entirely within memory, so a server restart will lose all of that. Going forward, I'll explore storing image jobs in redis or something, which will be more resilient to server c…

How did you get Meta to approve? Been trying for so long.

This is the new hello world. https://github.com/danneu/telegram-chatgpt-bot https://t.me/god_in_a_bot (demo bot) I tried building this for WhatsApp but Twilio is weirdly expensive. I don't even think Twilio is cheap for sending 2FA tokens.

It is expensive, so I made a version for myself as a Discord bot https://github.com/alexQueue/GPTBotHost/ (note: code is sketchy. Not really cleaned up for the public)

No worries, you're in good company.

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…

(I may have misunderstood your comment to some extent, but I'm going to send this reply anyway even if just to clarify for anyone else who might misunderstand.) --- I agree with "be careful what you send to the chat bot", but let's clarify some things in case you or someone else reading your comment is misunderstanding. LLMs aren't immature AI brains that "may even permanently ingest user data for training purposes".…

> If you're talking about OpenAI specifically saving ChatGPT data for later training purposes, they absolutely are doing that

They claim they're not retaining data through the API.

I’ve been heavily using chatgpt (gpt 4) on my honeymoon/baby moon/vacation in Spain. Everything from itineraries to asking art history questions in museums. I’ve mainly been using the voice input on my iPhone for chatgpt on a mobile browser and I can’t help but think how useful better voice support will be.

Did you have access to plugins?

Unfortunately I’m still waiting

Yea, I find it a fair bit annoying that I pay $20 and have a 25 message cap every 3 hours.

I use TypingMind.com and the GPT4 API. Seems an overall better experience.

GPT-4 API still not open. I should really try Evals to get early access, been dying to give it a spin (outside of ChatGPT)
