Must have been tough thinking of an easy to remember phone number, and this ain’t it.
It made more sense at the time. 411 is an actual directory service (similar to dialing 0 for the operator). [1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/411_(telephone_number)
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…
I would expect nothing but hallucinations and nonsense coming out of any LLM regarding recently-released movies (aka. the ones you often find on flights).
My wife wanted a pair of boots for Christmas that I couldn’t find in her size. Google was a wasteland of SEO, but ChatGPT found 5 sites and was able to tell me current stock levels.
This is a killer feature for me. In fact, I briefly explored building a semi-self hosted version for myself. My biggest use case for ChatGPT voice mode is when I _need_ or _want_ to be handsfree. Think working around the house/yard, Driving, Walking around the grocery store, cooking, etc. I find that I end up using my iPhone's voice-to-text then simply communicate with text mode (in the case of driving, I stop). Afte…
Same here. How ironic that it's not actually Apple delivering that despite being in the perfect position to do so (they have a deal with OpenAI for ChatGPT using Siri, have all the contextual knowledge they could ever need etc.) – my iOS 18.2 Siri + ChatGPT experience has been extremely disappointing so far: It seems to completely forget all context between questions, ignores me for follow-up questions 80% of the tim…

Im still hoping one of Open AI's 12 day announcements is they are creating a AI Phone with Microsoft called GPT and or an Phone AI OS.

Great! Now show me a system that can verify that list for accuracy as well. Not to be flippant, but this is the complaint. You can't approach outputs uncritically. And no I don't want it to be as unreliable as a person who also forgets how English or basic knowledge works at random intervals.
They were responding to a comment that suggested that this was a category where the only thing you would get is unintelligible gibberish. You don't even seem to be disputing the actual results here, just gesturing towards a kind of philosophy class exercise of whether we can ever "really" verify its accuracy. I see Wittgenstein's name increasingly tossed around in these parts (a good thing!), so I'll just note that o…

I get it's just an example, but are we really this far gone? Just watch a random movie and if you don't like it, pick another. This is such an extreme micro-optimization of a small experience.
You can spend 2 hours watching a moving, emotional story that teaches you something new about the human condition and the choices we make in our lives.
Or you can spend 2 hours that turns out to be full of plot holes and inconsistent characters, where nothing makes sense in the end and you've utterly wasted your time.
In what universe would you not want to have that information before watching? Especially if you're generally a busy person and only get to watch 10-20 movies a year.
I truly don't understand the attitude of "just pick one", whether it's for movies or other things. That reviews are "micro-optimization". Like, do you just not value your time? Do you not care about quality?
It's not like reviews are always right. But one film with 98% on Rotten Tomatoes vs. one with 45%... that's a really strong signal. Why on earth would you choose to ignore that?

Movie reviews are amongst the most subjective things, how do you define “verify” and “accuracy”?

> Great! Now show me a system that can verify that list for accuracy as well. Not to be flippant, but this is the complaint. You can't approach outputs uncritically. In general you can't, but surely it's not that big a deal if ChatGPT offers an inaccurate summary of a movie you're about to use to kill time on a flight? I suppose it becomes important if, e.g., you're relying on it to tell you whether a movie is approp…
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.
I can now ask my phone to call ChatGPT. 100% hands-free. It’s only a few steps less than using the app, but there’s a lot of incremental value to not needing to touch my phone.
Concrete example: I’m driving. I ask Siri a simple question, but it can’t answer it. Previously, if I wanted to use ChatGPT, I’d have to stop, pickup my phone, unlock, open the app, get my answer, then start driving again. I’d never do that. Now, I can just ask Siri to call ChatGPT
