I'm surprised commenters in here are praising the UI. That slow text fade-in is aggravating, makes me feel like I'm in some MMO in the early 2000's and I need to install an addon to show the text immediately. edit: the TTS voices are.. no offence to anyone.. VERY American, gratingly so.

Insanely annoying, I'm with you.

The UI is slow and looks like it's made by a kid who just learned animating text. AI capabilities also seem pretty limited. Don't think it's at par even with GPT-3.5 Overall extremely underwhelming for a company with $225M in funding.

$225M?!

What company is this? I thought this was a pre-seed product built by one person.

> How many bombs were used by nazi germany to bomb the UK? > During the Battle of Britain, from July to October 1940, Nazi Germany dropped over 20,000 bombs on the United Kingdom. Many of these bombs were dropped on London, killing and injuring thousands of civilians. The bombing campaign was an attempt to break the morale of the British people and force them to surrender, but it ultimately failed. The British people…

I don't like the UI here. Forced to wait while the text fades in to introduce itself, forced to wait between responses, no clear input areas just a caret, slow animations everywhere. Also why do prior responses dissapear? How will I use it if I dont even know what it wrote a moment ago Do we want it to be an artsy experiment, or a tool?

They just want to sell shares to more investors at a higher price So it is an art project

there is a difference between something looking artistic and looking professional. Investors will likely be looking for something that looks like a big tech company made it, so flat design with at least some UI principles

Overall, this seems very pleasant to use, although I would like to have some non-American voices to choose from.

The UI has a feel that I would describe as relaxing, but the voices seem to have a tone that I found somewhat unpleasant and certainly not at all relaxing to listen to.

Another thing I find is that these sorts of things cope quite poorly with Socratic dialogue, and tend to fall back to quite woolly platitudes. If I'm trying to tease meaning and truth out of the system's 'knowledge' then I don't really find it helpful to be prompted repeatedly to disclose what I think, because I haven't decided yet - I'm exploring!

As a layer on top of a LLM, it's good work. I would be interested in hearing more about what you've done - the tech, the prompts, etc.

Reid Hoffman is a cofounder :)

It refuses to code unfortunately :(

More and more, the movie "Her" is starting to look like an accurate view of the future. Not as deep as GPT, but a nice overall UX IMO.

The movie "Her" has happened, at least the human side of it [1][2].
