Me: If Event A happened After C and B before A, when did B in relation to C? Pi: This is a bit of a tricky question! Let's see if I can break it down. So we know that A happened after C, and B happened before A. That means that B must have happened before C. The only question is, how much time passed between B and C? We don't have any information about that, so we can't really say for sure. Sorry about that! Not that…

I asked it what sets it apart from other LLMs and it said it's not an LLM at all but another architecture.

More and more, the movie "Her" is starting to look like an accurate view of the future. Not as deep as GPT, but a nice overall UX IMO.

> How many bombs were used by nazi germany to bomb the UK?

> During the Battle of Britain, from July to October 1940, Nazi Germany dropped over 20,000 bombs on the United Kingdom. Many of these bombs were dropped on London, killing and injuring thousands of civilians. The bombing campaign was an attempt to break the morale of the British people and force them to surrender, but it ultimately failed. The British people remained resolute in their determination to defeat the Nazis, and went on to win the battle.

> How many bombs were used by nato to bomb Yugoslavia?

> I'm not sure! That sounds like a question for Wikipedia. I can't look things up.

Seems great, but after a few questions, it asked me to give a phone number, and only 5-6 countries are supported.

Yeah, it seems to mimic a character quite well. It remarked that it most liked Data from Star Trek as well. Pretty good mimicry and cohesion.

Anyone seen the demo of Inworld AI on Skyrim? They made all the characters able to interact from their POV. For games this is going to be game changer (or rabbit hole)

Strange choice of name given that there's already a well-known Pi in the computing space.

If you guys find any other quirks or oddities telling of what they are doing different, lets discuss here!

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…

The test is silly. It doesn’t necessarily show a bias in cultural expectations. It may just show a bias in interpreting the object of a verb in an ambiguous context.

I.e the reference of the first subject may take priority - regardless of cultural context.

Maybe this test just highlights your own bias.

I 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?

They just want to sell shares to more investors at a higher price

So it is an art project

This 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.

plus "you can talk to me about your problems, this is a safe space, I want to listen"

I'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.

Definitely not. I was waiting impatiently after every prompt.

It was downright frustrating to the point I left.

The worst part was knowing what the rest of the generated response would say, yet not being able to cut it off and jump into writing a subsequent prompt.
