#142Too bad they consume 25x the electricity Google does.

Re: GPT-4o
#143As 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…
Completely agree, none of the updates will apply to any of my use cases, disappointment.

Re: GPT-4o
#145Won't this make pretty much all of the work to make a website accessible go away, as it becomes cheap enough? Why struggle to build alt content for the impaired when it can be generated just in time as needed?
And much the same for internationalization.
Re: GPT-4o
#146The usual critics will quickly point out that LLMs like GPT-4o still have a lot of failure modes and suffer from issues that remain unresolved. They will point out that we're reaping diminishing returns from Transformers. They will question the absence of a "GPT-5" model. And so on -- blah, blah, blah, stochastic parrots, blah, blah, blah. Ignore the critics. Watch the demos. Play with it. This stuff feels magical .…
>Who cares? This stuff feels magical. Magical!
On one hand, I agree - we shouldn't diminish the very real capabilities of these models with tech skepticism. On the other hand, I disagree - I believe this approach is unlikely to lead to human-level AGI.
Like so many things, the truth probably lies somewhere between the skeptical naysayers and the breathless fanboys.

#147That first demo video was impressive, but then it ended very abruptly. It made me wonder if the next response was not as good as the prior ones.
Extremely impressive -- hopefully there will be an option to color all responses with a underlying brevity. It seemed like the AI just kept droning on and on.

#148The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.
>The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. Consequences of audio2audio (rather than audio >text text>audio). Being able to manipulate speech nearly as well as it manipulates text is something else. This will be a revelation for language learning amongst other things. And you can interrupt it freely now!
However, this looks like it only works with speech - i.e. you can't ask it, "What's the tune I'm humming?" or "Why is my car making this noise?"
I could be wrong but I haven't seen any non-speech demos.
Re: GPT-4o
#149This thing continues to stress my skepticism for AI scaling laws and the broad AI semiconductor capex spending. 1- OpenAI is still working in GPT-4-level models. More than 14 months after the launch of GPT-4 and after more than $10B in capital raised. 2- The rhythm that token prices are collapsing is bizarre. Now a (bit) better model for 50% of the price. How people seriously expect these foundational model companies…
Yeah I'm also getting suspicious. Also, all of the models (opus, llama3, gpt4, gemini pro) are converging to similar levels of performance. If it was true that the scaling hypothesis was true, we would see a greater divergence of model performance
Re: GPT-4o
#150I found these videos quite hard to watch. There is a level of cringe that I found a bit unpleasant.
It’s like some kind of uncanny valley of human interaction that I don’t get on nearly the same level with the text version.
