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, let me talk to ChatGPT voice mode” is the only thing I really need from it, and that’s unavailable for whatever reason. “Hey Siri, call 1-800-CHATGPT” will have to do for now :)

That's cool ... i just want an awesome new holy moly personal device and I see a GPT phone could be it. Open AI has that Facetime an AI where it sees you and your surroundings and it acts like your talking to a real human.

I want that front and center in my AI phone as my personal assistant. The AI Phone's UI would be sparser.. wouldn't be a lot of UI (some app icons but not as app icon driven). While the image/video of your AI chat bot personal assistant you look and talk with could be a celebrity to a deceased relative or loved one (they live on and help you through your day to day). There's so much things to innovate and move forward from the boring iPhone!

Hopefully Open AI makes an even bigger announcement of getting into the personal device business soon (or later).

Huge user improvement for me. 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 drivi…

Siri can already use ChatGPT https://support.apple.com/en-mo/guide/iphone/iph00fd3c8c2/io...

Not, on my iPhone 14...gotta have the 15 or 16

I will personally say that if you ever get the chance, definitely try a Waymo. I did recently for the first time and it's a hell of an experience. You can very vividly imagine it being the future. I'm also going to stand up for AR/VR here. I'm in a long-distance relationship and me and my partner spend an hour or so in VRChat around two to three times a week. The power that has to reduce the badness of an LDR is well…

I am super stoked to try a Waymo when I'm in a city with one. It's hype failures have more to do with 10 years of hype about its public availability yet not being available to 99% of the world's population 10 years later. Hype is useless without the result. I've had an HTC Vive and an Oculus Rift 3 (Walkabout Mini Golf is one I tried!) and while I wouldn't try to argue NOBODY has found a use for it (somebody somewher…

That's totally fair. The tech is only barely coming out of the enthusiast adopter phase and there's not a critical mass of content on there to keep most people putting on the headset daily.

That and the ergonomics do still suck, even if I've mostly gotten used to them.

I do think VR will make it, though - starting with the kids. Apparently Gorilla Tag broke 1.5 million players recently, and those are mostly under-15s. The next generation is going to have a strange relationship with computers.

Anyone know (and willing to share) what are they using for PSTN integration? I've been looking into options for our non-profit tech startup (Ameelio) and about the best pricing I can find is about 1.35 cents per minute. It surprises (and saddens) me that it's still so expensive. I'm sure at a bigger scale you can negotiate better pricing, but based on the quick conversations I've had with vendors it doesn't get signi…

have you checked daily.co pricing for audio-only? they do SIP

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.

Any cool or funny stories from the inside having worked on it?

100% shipped to show off to family during Christmas. I'll definitely give it a go, I wonder if this lands better with those aged 50+ who are more used to phone calls rather than chat.

Umm... do you actually know anyone 50+? You know, for instance, the co-authors of "AI: A Modern Approach" are both 50+?

There are cookbooks written by people that have never cooked a thing in their life.

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.

Have you been paying attention at all these past few weeks? Google is crushing it with releases. Gemini 2.0 is great, Veo2 is crushing Sora, live video conversation from aistudio... 12 days of OpenAI turned out to be 12 days of Google.

Google search also was good at the beginning. Now it occasionally gives results that contain none of the keywords and have nothing to do with what I searched for.

You can also go to the website and use it without logging in.

Hey nice! That's gotta be new-ish too, right? Last I checked I had to log in. Thanks!

You're right they did add anonymous access at some point, but it was quite a while ago I think. Smart move on their part. Makes casual use much more convenient.

Interestingly enough, it answers the question "Who is Jonathan Zittrain?". An oversight?

If you write “Zitrain” with only one “t”, it also works in regular ChatGPT. The speech processing likely has a similar effect of not matching the filter.

I asked over WhatsApp chat (I didn't try speech). Still works.
