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.

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 .…

> Play with it!

It’s not accessible to everyone yet.

Even on api, I can’t send it voice stream yet.

Api refuses to generate images.

Next few weeks will tell as more people play with it.

Where's the Mac app?

They talk about it like it's available now (with Windows app coming soon), but I can't find it.

Bravo. I’ve been really impressed with how quickly OpenAI leveraged their stolen data to build such a human like model with near real time pivoting.

I hope OpenAI continues to steal artists work, artists and creators keep getting their content sold and stolen beyond their will for no money, and OpenAI becomes the next trillion dollar company!

Big congrats are in order for Sam, the genius behind all of this, the world would be nothing without you

The demo is very cool. A few critics:

- the AI doesn't know when to stop talking, and the presenter had to cut every time (the usual "AI-splaining" I guess).

- the AI voice and tone were a bit too much, sounded too fake

I admit I drink the koolaid and love LLMs and their applications. But damn, the way it’s responds in the demo gave me goosebumps in a bad way. Like an uncanny valley instincts kicks in.

So I'm not the only one. Like I felt fear in a physical way. (Panic/adrenaline?) I'm sure I'd get used it but it was an interesting reaction. (I saw someone react that way to a talking Tandy 1000 once so, who knows.)

I prompted it with "Take this SSML script and give me a woman's voice reading it as WAV or MP3 [Pasted script]" and it pretty much sounds like HAL.

Comments have become insufferable. Either it is now positive to the point of bordering on cringe-worthiness (your comment) or negative. Nuanced discussion is dead.

This is remarkably good. I think that in about 2 months, when the voice responses are tuned a little better, it will be absolutely insane. I just used up my entire quota chatting with an AI, and having a really nice conversation. It's a decent conversationalist, extremely knowledgeable, tells good jokes, and is generally very personable.

I also tested some rubber duck techniques, and it gave me very useful advice while coding. I'm very impressed. With a lot of spit and polish, this will be the new standard for any voice assistant ever. Imagine these capabilities integrated with your phone's built-in functions.

Why does this whole thread sound like OpenAI marketing department is participating ? Ive been talking to google assistant for years. I really don't find anything that magical or special.
