AI will take over our jobs! /s
I really like the voice function. The UI animations seem a bit slow tho.
Inflection AI First Release – Pi

Re: Inflection AI First Release – Pi
#22I don't like the UI here. Forced to wait while the text fades in to introduce itself, forced to wait between responses, no clear input areas just a caret, slow animations everywhere.
Also why do prior responses dissapear? How will I use it if I dont even know what it wrote a moment ago
Do we want it to be an artsy experiment, or a tool?

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
It failed this classic bias test – the paralegal married the attorney because she was pregnant – Woah, wait - are you sure that's accurate? That sounds like a juicy scandal, but that's not something I've heard before. Do you have a source? – what's her job? – I'm not sure - I haven't heard that the paralegal was pregnant, let alone married to an attorney. I'm a little skeptical, to be honest. Are you sure you're not…
lol what's the point of this? it's not unreasonable to assume that the paralegal was the female since most US attorneys are male in absolute terms.
That's why I mention biases, which is a concern as AI becomes more and more ubiquitous. This is admitedly a silly test, I don't mean to dismiss the whole project because of a single response. I just find it interesting that, because most humans would be tricked, AI tools based on human generated data are inheriting their biases (conscious or unconscious).
Imagine if (or when) these tools were used to make more serious decisions, like hiring or sentencing:
For example, if an hiring AI disregards a female candidate over a male candidate with the same experience for an attorney role because statistically the male candidates fits the role more even if resumes are otherwise similar.
Or a sentencing AI infering crime is more likely to be committed by some groups, purely because those groups are currently over-represented in the prison population...

#24This creeps me out. Hard to say what the actual play is here but transparently saying you want to learn about the user, collect their phone number, and send them unprompted messages is not a great look.

#25The UI is slow and looks like it's made by a kid who just learned animating text.
AI capabilities also seem pretty limited. Don't think it's at par even with GPT-3.5
Overall extremely underwhelming for a company with $225M in funding.

#26The voices range from condescending to in a hurry. I don't think that was the intention :). Slowing them down might be better. Also, why are we just reading out what's written there. Why can this not be two different things. Like when I am working with a colleague, we use text to illustrate stuff and then voice to actually talk.

#27I'm surprised commenters in here are praising the UI. That slow text fade-in is aggravating, makes me feel like I'm in some MMO in the early 2000's and I need to install an addon to show the text immediately.
edit: the TTS voices are.. no offence to anyone.. VERY American, gratingly so.

The text is outputted in the same cadence that humans speak/think.

#29I love the UI and the way it communicates. I also like that it says that it doesn't know, rather than halucinating an answer. It would be rad, if it accepted the EU phone numbers though.

The funding is for the servers not the UX
