Ohhhhhhhh, boy... Listening to all that emotional vocal inflection and feedback... There are going to be at least 10 million lonely guys with new AI girlfriends. "She's not real. But, she interested in everything I say and excited about everything I care about" is enough of a sales pitch for a lot of people.

> She's not real

But she will be real at some point in the next 10-20 years, the main thing to solve for that to be a reality is for robots to safely touch humans, and they are working really really hard on that because it is needed for so many automation tasks, automating sex is just a small part of it.

And after that you have a robot that listens to you, do your chores and have sex with you, at that point she is "real". At first they will be expensive so you have robot brothels (I don't think there are laws against robot prostitution in many places), but costs should come down.

Image editing capabilities are... nice. Not there yet. Whatever I was doing with Chatgpt 4 became faster. Instant win. My test benchmark questions: still all negative, so reasoning on out-of distribution puzzles is still failing

I just don't see how companies like Cohere can remain in this business

at the same price I get access to faster ChatGPT-3.9

there is little to no reasons to continue using Command R-plus at these prices unless they lower their price significantly

Not very impressed. It's been 18 months since ChatGPT, i would have expected more progress. It looks like we have reached the limit of LLMs.

The usual critics will quickly point out that LLMs like GPT-4o still have a lot of failure modes and suffer from issues that remain unresolved. They will point out that we're reaping diminishing returns from Transformers. They will question the absence of a "GPT-5" model. And so on -- blah, blah, blah, stochastic parrots, blah, blah, blah. Ignore the critics. Watch the demos. Play with it. This stuff feels magical .…

With so many smoke and mirrors demos out there, I am not super excited at those videos. I would play with it, but it seems like it is not available in a free tier (I stopped paying OpenAI a while ago after realizing that open models are more than enough for me)

Without memory of previous conversations an AI girlfriend is going to get boring really fast.

> HAL's unemotional monotone

on a tangent...

I find it interesting the psychology behind this. If the voice in 2001 had proper inflection, it wouldn't have been perceived as a computer.

(also, I remember when voice synthesizers got more sophisticated and Stephen Hawking decided to keep his original first-gen voice because he identified more with it)

I think we'll be going the other way soon. Perfect voices, with the perfect emotional inflection will be perceived as computers.

However I think at some point they may be anthropomorphized and given more credit than they deserve. This will probably be cleverly planned and a/b tested. And then that perfect voice, for you, will get you to give in.

> HAL's unemotional monotone in Kubrick's movie, "Space Odyssey," feels... oddly primitive by comparison

In comparison to the gas pump which says "Thank You!"

What struck me was the interruptions to the AI speaking which seemed commonplace by the team members in the demo. We will quickly get used to doing this to AIs and we will probably be talking to AIs a lot throughout the day as time progresses I would imagine. We will be trained by AIs to be rude and impatient I think.
