Seems gimmicky. An audio wrapper on top of ChatGPT accessible by phone... Neither technically impressive nor an improvement to user experience. Sorry for the negativity, I'm trying to remain AI hyped but it's difficult.
On coast to coast flights, there's often not a good way of knowing what movies are available until after you've left cell coverage. This makes simple research like checking the IMDb score challenging. Alaska Air has a whitelist of messaging services that you can use for free during the flight. WhatsApp is on that list. So if you want to research obscure plane movies on an Alaska flight, you can connect to their wifi…
Interestingly enough, it answers the question "Who is Jonathan Zittrain?". An oversight?
OMG! Try calling from Microsoft Teams :D You will end up with, "Thanks for calling Agenta". Did OpenAI outsource and release this implementation with some of the company's internal phone numbers?
Not outsourced, I worked on it myself. This is the old owner of the number. Some carriers are still routing it wrong.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
the idea that someone who was 20 in 1995 is too old to be comfortable with computers is a horrifying and offensive stereotype that deeply worries me for my own future our industry is old enough that the first generation of pioneers has died of old age. Do you really think someone who grew up with computers in the 80s is incapable of using a smart phone? These are people who are still in the workforce today. These are…
> someone who was 20 in 1995 is too old to be comfortable with computers I know people who are in their 20s and 30s who seem to be uncomfortable with computers, cloud technology, and especially AI. In some ways I'm one of them. I will never let an always listening AI helper be in my home. And I'm <40.
more gimmicks than actual progress. scaling limits and intelligence barrier has definitely been hit
My background isn't AI so I can't contribute to that. My background is WebRTC/telephony so I could build this. Even if I was involved in 'AI stuff' I would have zero impact, but I can build this!
Calling it now: Google will ultimately lose this consumer battle. How? By doing what they've always done: building better tech. Gemini will be faster/better and it will have more features; but they will continue to fail to productize or explain it to consumers. Google's offerings here are still a huge mess. OpenAI is crushing them right now at building products that people want, and making them accessible.
Launch video. Love the flashing banner. https://www.youtube.com/live/LWa6OHeNK3s
Those two persons fixedly looking to the other person reading some teleprompter that announces this feature -- likely written by ChatGPT -- is the weirdest thing ever.
We had a video monitor in front of us showing the live feed, that kept distracting me personally.
Thats perfect for jail... Simce ypu cant access the internet nut can access the phone. An e-mail version of this would also be nice.
They are going to collect so much voice training data from this.
