On coast to coast flights, there's often not a good way of knowing what movies are available until after you've left cell coverage. This makes simple research like checking the IMDb score challenging. Alaska Air has a whitelist of messaging services that you can use for free during the flight. WhatsApp is on that list. So if you want to research obscure plane movies on an Alaska flight, you can connect to their wifi…

I would expect nothing but hallucinations and nonsense coming out of any LLM regarding recently-released movies (aka. the ones you often find on flights).

In every post about LLMs there is someone to blindly say something like this.

When in reality if you ask ChatGPT for 10 good movies from this year you will get this.

Anora - Directed by Sean Baker, a compelling drama about the life of a sex worker in Coney Island.

Challengers - A provocative tennis drama directed by Luca Guadagnino, starring Zendaya.

Dune: Part Two - Denis Villeneuve's continuation of the epic science fiction saga.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga - An action-packed prequel exploring the origins of Furiosa, directed by George Miller.

Inside Out 2 - Pixar's sequel that dives deeper into the complexities of human emotions.

Wicked - A musical fantasy adaptation directed by Jon M. Chu . The Zone of Interest - A thought-provoking film about Auschwitz, directed by Jonathan Glazer.

The Idea of You - A steamy romance starring Anne Hathaway.

Hit Man - A comedy thriller starring Glen Powell.

The Outrun - A powerful drama about a recovering alcoholic, starring Saoirse Ronan.

Let me know if you'd like more details about any of these!

Which is a great list.

It's funny, I asked it what model it is, and it replies: > am based on OpenAI's GPT-4 model. Specifically, you are interacting with an instance of GPT-4, which is designed to understand and generate human-like text based on the prompts it receives. My responses are influenced by the extensive training on diverse datasets, but I do not have access to real-time data or events beyond my knowledge cutoff in January 2022.…

Or just an incorrect system prompt.

Not outsourced, I worked on it myself. This is the old owner of the number. Some carriers are still routing it wrong.

So you all launched anyway? YOLO embodied entirely I guess...

That is unsurprising and totally wild.

Not very confidence inspiring.

Seems gimmicky. An audio wrapper on top of ChatGPT accessible by phone... Neither technically impressive nor an improvement to user experience. Sorry for the negativity, I'm trying to remain AI hyped but it's difficult.

I think so, but not a bad marketing gimmick. It gives a pretty easy way for the general public to interact with ChatGPT on a trial basis without signing up or paying for it using a somewhat hard to acquire identifier (phone number). I'm curious if they're doing anything to avoid abuse from spoofed numbers.

Here's a comparison of asking ChatGPT and Meta AI about actual in-flight movie choices.

I pasted the same initial prompts in both, but Meta AI needed more clarification. When ChatGPT found multiple entries with similar titles, it gave information about all of them.

Off the top of my head, and just for the last couple of months, and only outside of work (where its value is even more immense), it has saved one of my indoor plants, told me how to handle a major boiler problem that would have left us without a working boiler during a weekend in the winder, with the next "emergency" repairman only available on Monday, advised me to use Kopia as backup solution for my personal files…

Yes, but which of those things would you not have resolved just as well 10 years ago? All those possibilities were added by the maturing web itself, as a genuinely novel change from having to source books or experts/friends in the days before. I'm glad ChatGPT didn't lead you astray, but I'm not seeing what it's added here besides shuffling up the user interface in a way that you presently and subjectively prefer?

objectively, it takes less time to ask a question and get a direct answer than it does to search for some words, leaf through a couple of results, find one that has the information you want, and then read that page. If I want to know the height of the Eiffel tower, being told it's 1083 meters tall is faster than searching for its website, finding the stats section, then locating that information on the page. Google realizes that, so they pull that info out of the page and just put it on the results page for you.

I built this with twilio, STT, TTS and some glue a while back. Having a phone number to call to chat with GPT-4 was fun, but laggy and error prone. I primarily used it in the car for hands free discussions. I look forward to giving this new option a try!

Calling it now: Google will ultimately lose this consumer battle. How? By doing what they've always done: building better tech. Gemini will be faster/better and it will have more features; but they will continue to fail to productize or explain it to consumers. Google's offerings here are still a huge mess. OpenAI is crushing them right now at building products that people want, and making them accessible.

Most people still don't know what OpenAI is
