Memories of GOOG411! And probably same purpose of this. (1) (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOOG-411
Does anyone else remember a very short lived Google experiment that allowed you to call a number, vocalize your search, and somehow without any additional steps, the results appeared on the browser in front of you? (which was not connected to the phone, or even logged into a Google account)

I agree about an abundance of apps, but what type of value are LLMs adding? It can sometimes be useful to input a more "human" search and have something get spit out but 60% of the time it completely lies to you. I'm talking about questions related to web specifications which are public documents. Section numbers, standards names, etc.. will be completely made up.
This is a thin edge of the wedge issue, right? ChatGPT is pretty darn good for most things. I’ve used it extensively for the past 18 months and only in a few cases would I say it “completely lied to me”. My general rubric is: “would I trust someone on Reddit to correctly guide me on this”. If the answer is “yes” then ChatGPT is likely going to do well. If the volume on a particular subject is low / susceptible to fal…
No specific prompts, but most were related to the XHR/Fetch specs and behaviors within. It would say "X.Y.Z sections defines this" but that section didn't exist at all and the answer provided was not accurate.

I see. Well, I don't know if I find that very valuable but if others do, then so be it.
100% shipped to show off to family during Christmas. I'll definitely give it a go, I wonder if this lands better with those aged 50+ who are more used to phone calls rather than chat.
So the perception of those aged 50+, is one of people so far removed from technology they’d prefer to use a telephone to avoid their discomfort with computers? I’m well into this group and still make a lot more api calls than phone calls. Fresh out of college I recall vividly thinking, I’ll need to build an impressive list of side projects to overcome preconceptions about how much I can truly offer at my age. Maybe n…
50+ are going to be so addicted to this thing its not even funny. My parents are not reaching for AI immediately yet, but thats just a yet. This is the wave that could come at any moment.
> 1-800-ChatGPT works best in quieter environments. Background noise may be misinterpreted as prompts. Is this still an issue? Maybe I have had too high hopes for AI.
Then again, local noise reduction on modern phones/earbuds probably goes a long way to avoiding that problem.

The value to me is by having an on-demand junior developer working alongside me for the price of $20 a month
They are going to collect so much voice training data from this.
telephony* voice data [*] limited bandwidth (8 kHz), providing a valuable opportunity to enhance and specialize models for telephony applications, ensuring better performance and user experience even with low-fidelity audio inputs.
But being able to blame the user's phone line probably goes a long way to avoiding unhappiness due to testing :)

Controversial take: LLMs are the first time in a while that I have felt like emerging technology trends is doing something cool and adding value. For the past 8-10 years it has all felt like a bunch of apps that just aim to be mediocre middlemen/gig economy brokers with bad customer service.

They can make stuff up, but saying "60% of the time they lie to you" hasn't been true for years.
