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?
New achievement unlocked - ‘phone a friend’ on those who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire’ shows ;)
I feel like everyone who has used a lot of AI tools has become accustomed to the LLM yap, but hearing it over TTS is much more annoying than when it's text you can skim through.
It's much, much better than TTS you might be familiar with. Give it a call.
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 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.
Reading a movie review or just asking a friend that’s seen it if they liked it has been a thing… always.

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).
Hilariously it often believes that it can’t access the web and then hallucinates reasons for how it can know things beyond its knowledge cutoff date. But in any case, it works very well for this use case.

I've heard that Twitter's (AKA X's) LLM (Grok) is really, really good at this sort of thing (in part because it has recent access to Twitter's data).
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…
I nerdishly get angry at Siri and Apple's Not Intelligence while driving. ChatGPT iPhone app i can have a whole conversation with and get things done... Siri on my iPhone 15 Pro running 18.2 is so frustratingly still dumb and a one now only two trick pony compared to the chatGPT's voice mode. 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 Phon…
“Hey Siri, call 1-800-CHATGPT” will have to do for now :)

So you all launched anyway? YOLO embodied entirely I guess...
That is unsurprising and totally wild. Not very confidence inspiring.

Life is about more than optimizing the movies you watch. Watching a bad movie is not going to harm you. Maybe you'll take something away, maybe you won't. Much like having a bad day is unlikely to ruin your life - it'll just give some nice context to the good days. And we're talking about watching them on the plane, so the "busy person" argument really doesn't apply here.
> Life is about more than optimizing the movies you watch. Where did I say it wasn't? That's a straw man. But if you're going to watch a movie for the next two hours, then yeah -- your life is going to be about that movie. So why not choose wisely? > Watching a bad movie is not going to harm you. Maybe you'll take something away, maybe you won't. Straw man again. And again -- why not choose quality instead of choosin…
This isn't a straw man - I'm not claiming you think life is all about movie optimization. I'm making the point that the effort of optimization might not be worth it in the broader context.
> Straw man again. And again -- why not choose quality instead of choosing ignorance and rolling the dice?
Also not a straw man. I'm illustrating that the downside of a bad movie is so minimal that extensive optimization might not be justified. This directly addresses your argument about opportunity cost by suggesting the cost is actually quite small.
> Again, straw man. Nobody's talking about ruining your life. But why intentionally choose a bad movie...?
Again, not a straw man. I'm making a proportionality argument about how much a sub-optimal movie experience actually matters in practice.
> To the contrary. For a lot of busy people, the plane is one of the few moments they have time to watch a movie. So it sure does apply.
Even on a plane, the stakes just aren't that high. A less-than-perfect movie isn't going to meaningfully impact your life regardless of how busy you are.
> You're arguing in favor of choosing bad things, because it's not going to ruin your life. Huh?
You're interpreting my position as "arguing in favor of choosing bad things," but that's just not accurate. I'm suggesting that the effort of optimization might outweigh the minimal downside of occasionally watching something mediocre. There's a middle ground between actively choosing bad things and obsessing over choosing only the very best.

Sounds impossible. Are you calling on the same phone your browser is?
Why impossible? You'd just have to register your phone number so Google knew which account to connect which telephone session
