First Impressions in no particular order: Being able to interrupt while GPT is talking 2x faster/cheaper not really a much smarter model Desktop app that can see screenshots Can display emotions with and change the sound of "it's" voice

Mac only desktop app. Windows version "later this year". No Linux.

Welp there goes my Plus subscription.

Parts of the demo were quite choppy (latency?) so this definitely feels rushed in response to Google I/O. Other than that, looks good. Desktop app is great, but I didn’t see no mention of being able to use your own API key so OS projects might still be needed. The biggest thing is bringing GPT-4 to free users, that is an interesting move. Depending on what the limits are, I might cancel my subscription.

They need to fade the audio or add some vocal queue when it's being interrupted. It makes it sound like it's losing connection. What'll be really impressive is when it intentionally starts interrupting you.

As a paid user this felt like a huge letdown. GPT-4o is available to everyone so I'm paying $20/mo for...what, exactly? Higher message limits? I have no idea if I'm close to the message limits currently (nor do I even know what they are). So I guess I'll cancel, then see if I hit the limits? I'm also extremely worried that this is a harbinger of the enshittification of ChatGPT. Processing video and audio for all ~200…

So... cancel the subscription?

They really need to tone down the talking garniture. It needs to put on its running shoes and get to the point on every reply. Ain’t nobody has time to keep listening to AI blubbering along at every prompt.

question for you guys - is there a model that can take figures (graphs), from scientific publications, and combine image analysis with picking up the data point symbol descriptions and analyse the trends?

So GPT-4o can do voice intonation? Great. Nice work.

Still, it sounds like some PR drone selling a product. Oh wait....

Are the employees in the demo high-directives of OpenAI? I can understand Altman being happy with this progress, but what about the medium/low employees? Didn't they watch Oppenheimer? Are they happy they are destroying humanity/work/etc for future and not-so-future generations? Anyone who thinks this will be like the previous work revolutions is nonsense. This replaces humans and will replace them even more on each…

Have a kid anyway, if you otherwise really felt driven to it. Reading the tealeaves in the news is a dumb reason to change decisions like that. There's always some disaster looming, always has been. If you raise them well they'll adapt well to whatever weird future they inherit and be amongst the ones who help others get through it

Those voice demos are cool but having to listen to it speak makes me even more frustrated with how these LLMs will drone on and on without having much to say.

For example, in the second video the guy explains how he will have it talk to another "AI" to get information. Instead of just responding with "Okay, I understand" it started talking about how interesting the idea sounded. And as the demo went on, both "AIs" kept adding unnecessary commentary about the secenes.

I would hate having to talk with these things on a regular basis.
