Anyone who watched the OpenAI livestream: did they "paste" the code after hitting CTRL+C ? Or did the desktop app just read from the clipboard? Edit: I'm asking because of the obvious data security implications of having your desktop app read from the clipboard _in the live demo_... That would definitely put a damper to my fanboyish enthusiasm about that desktop app.

To me it looked they used one command that did copy+paste into ChatGPT both.

Interesting that they didn't mention a bump in capabilities - I wrote a LLM benchmark a few weeks ago, and before GPT-4 could solve Wordle about ~48% of the time.

Currently with GPT-4o, it's easily clearing 60% - while blazing fast, and half the cost. Amazing.

I can't help but feel a bit let down. The demos felt pretty cherry picked and still had issues with the voice getting cut off frequently (especially in the first demo).

I've already played with the vision API, so that doesn't seem all that new. But I agree it is impressive.

That said, watching back a Windows Vista speech recognition demo[1] I'm starting to wonder if this stuff won't have the same fate in a few years.

Big questions are (1) when is this going to be rolled out to paid users? (2) what is the remaining benefit of being a paid user if this is rolled out to free users? (3) Biggest concern is will this degrade the paid experience since GPT-4 interactions are already rate limited. Does OpenAI have the hardware to handle this? Edit: according to @gdb this is coming in "weeks" https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1790074041614717…

>what is the remaining benefit of being a paid user if this is rolled out to free users?

It says so right in the post

>We are making GPT-4o available in the free tier, and to Plus users with up to 5x higher message limits

The limits are much lower for free users.

OAI just made an embarrassment of Google's fake demo earlier this year. Given how this was recorded, I am pretty certain it's authentic.

I don't doubt this is authentic, but if they really wanted to fake those demos, it would be pretty easy to do using pre-recorded lines and staged interactions.

I like the robot typing at the keyboard that has B as half of the keys and my favorite part is when it tears up the paper and behind it is another copy of that same paper

That they are offering more features for free concurs with my theory that, just like search, state of the art AI will soon be "free", in exchange for personal information/ads.

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.

what's the download link for the desktop app? can't find it

seems like it might not be available for everyone? – my chatgpt plus doesn't show anything new, and also can't find the dekstop app

I admit I drink the koolaid and love LLMs and their applications. But damn, the way it’s responds in the demo gave me goosebumps in a bad way. Like an uncanny valley instincts kicks in.

I also thought the screwups, although minor, were interesting. Like when it thought his face was a desk because it did not update the image it was "viewing". It is still not perfect, which made the whole thing more believable.

This feature has been in iOS for a while now, just really slow and without some of the new vision aspects. This seems like a version 2 for me.
