#4This isn't getting the attention it deserves. First AI I've had a real conversation with.

#5Just curious, how it is different from the tech used behind GPT advanced voice mode ? In my experience that also changes tone on the basis of the emotions and is able to maintain the flow pretty well.

#6This is the most realistic AI conversation I ever had. I legitimately felt I was just chatting with someone, getting to know them. The male was more convincing for me.

Agreed, I'm surprised that it hasn't gathered more buzz. It's the most impressive AI demo I've seen this year (in a year packed with impressive demos!)

#8The voice is really good, especially small details like sharp air intake before a response to indicate tone. I guess the conversation topics weren't amazing but that's not really the point.
The problem I have is that if you want to engage with something like this, you need to pretend it's a human. As they say, the uncanny valley was pretty much successfully crossed. And to be honest, I don't want to pretend I'm talking to a human for a whole bunch of reasons.
The technically aspects are really impressive, but I think "pretending to be a human" in this way is a pretty scary goal. The cognitive dissonance was too strong and it was hard for me to continue a conversation very long at all. What does it even mean to have a conversation without theory of mind?

#10You can ask it to talk serious without any quips or follow on questions and it's just a more sycophantic chatbot with great interruption flow.
The realism is needed to unlock next-gen use-cases. Then you can trust it to be an easily adjustable medium on the fly while you do more things.
