It's funny, because the chat bot designers seem to be continually attempting to recreate the voice computer interface from Star Trek: TNG. Yet if you watch the show carefully, the vast majority of the work done by all the Enterprise crew is done via touchscreens, not voice. The only reason for the voice interface is to facilitate the production of a TV show. By having the characters speak their requests aloud to the…

It's actually hilarious to think of a scene where all the people on the bridge are shouting over each other trying to get the ship to do anything at all. Maybe this is how we all get our own offices again and the open floor plan dies.

They’d just have an array of microphones everywhere and isolate each voice - rooms only need n+1 microphones where n is the maximum number of people. That’s already simple to do today, and it’s not even that expensive.

lol, their github is filled with "got the same issue" comments, imaging debugging and teaching your users how to use a blackbox

Openai knows how to create models but is terrible at creating software

i think it's easy to hire experienced engineers these days, not so easy with ML devs, so looking forward to see how this works out for them. I am actually happy to see anything that OpenAI does, it brings more work to me :)

Hey Sam that's a mighty fine moat you just put up around your castle Or wall if you like that metaphor better.

While Apps do sound and look like the future, I feel like we're headed down the same road as the App and Google Play stores with this. Sooner or later OpenAI is going to use this to take a cut $$ of the payments going through the system. Which they most likely need and deserve, but still any time you close off part of the web it makes the web less open and free.

Ads. They created ads. Now (or eventually) they can charge app developers to be featured first for a specific use case.

How else would the company sell their product? and keep people employed. Of course ads will be there and this is good. A bad thing would be if they took a bunch of traffic from google and then gave no way to promote your products. That would lead to companies closing and layoffs and economy decline.

Just to clarify, my original comment was neutral about whether its a good or a bad thing. It was just a statement of observation.

You don't need AI for this, Spotify has, like, infinite playlists. Also their playlists are made by real people (mostly...), so they don't completely suck ass.

Playlists aren't interactive though. I can't say "like this but with less guitar". Also, following the Beatport top 100 tech house playlist, and hearing how many tracks aren't actually tech house makes me wonder about who makes that particular playlist.

I don't know, I don't buy that this is a use case that matters enough to sway anyone.

That's how I feel about a lot of AI stuff.

Like... It's neat. It's a fun novelty. It makes a good party trick. It's the software equivalent of a knick knack.

Like 90% of the pixel AI features. There's some good ones in there, sure, but most of them you play around with for a day and then forget exist.

llm can call my existing apis fine. curious what kind of problems you are running to with your existing apis?

Tool calling is one of at least 5 core features of MCP

ok but not sure why i need to build an mcp for my product if llms can already call my existing apis ?

It's interesting to see how chatgpt is becoming more and more of a starting point of the web exploration, at which they're like, why even bother searching at this point, we'll just have default workflows for maps, buy (integration of stripe already marks it), booking airlines etc, which covers so much basic stuff people would do anyways.

I’m not sure how many people there are like me outside of this website but there’s not a single bone in my body that wants to use AI for these things. Buying plane tickets for example. It’s not even that I don’t trust the AI or that I’m afraid it might make a mistake. I just inherently want to feel like I’m in control of these processes. It’s the same reason I’m more afraid of flying than driving despite flying being…

I feel the same, but Airline and big hotel websites have way too many dark patterns made to confuse the user and force them to pay extra. Booking an emergency flight last time I had a family issue was a mind-fucking experience. I had to go through 10 screens trying to sell me stuff and constantly hiding the skip button in different places. Maybe HN will say that I "shouldn't have had a family emergency in the first p…

Indeed this problem could become worse. Dark patterns are darker when you cannot see them at all

This is basically Super App, most super apps was based off chat, this one is also chat, except the chat is with AI, or let’s be honest, with millions of dead people or poor workers.
