It's quite scary, honestly. In fact I can't remember the last time a demo terrified me, besides slaughterbots, and that was fictional. I just think about all the possibilities for misuse.

Re: GPT-4o
#712I've worked quite a bit with STT and TTS over the past ~7 years, and this is the most impressive and even startling demo I've seen. But I would like to see how this is integrated into applications by third party developers where the AI is doing a specific job. Is it still as impressive? The biggest challenge I've had with building any autonomous "agents" with generic LLM's is they are overly gullible and accommodatin…
I would ask you to watch the demo on SoundHound.com. It does less, yes, but it's so crucially fit for use. You'll notice from the shown gpt-4 demo they were guiding the LLM into chain of reasoning. It works very well when you know how to work it, which aligns with what you're saying. I don't mean to degrade the achievement, it's great, but we often inflate the expectations of what something can actually do before reaching real productivity.

#713The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.
Right to who? To me, the voice sounds like an over enthusiastic podcast interviewer. Whats wrong with wanting computers to sound like what people think computers should sound like?
It sounds VERY California. "Its going great!" "Nice choice" "Whats up with the..." all within 10 seconds.
(not that this is the most important thing about the announcement at all. Just an aside)
Re: GPT-4o
#714The crazy part is GPT-4o is faster than GPT-3.5 Turbo now, so we can see a future where GPT-5 is the flagship and GPT-4o is the fast cheap alternative. If GPT-4o is this smart and expressive now with voice, imagine what GPT-5 level reasoning could do!
>imagine what GPT-5 level reasoning could do!
Imagine if this "GPT-4o" is already using a GPT-5-like back-end...

#715does this make retell.ai obsolete?

Re: GPT-4o
#717This is a very cool demo - if you dig deeper there’s a clip of them having a “blind” AI talk to another AI with live camera input to ask it to explain what it’s seeing. Then they, together, sing a song about what they’re looking at, alternating each line, and rhyming with one another. Given all of the isolated capabilities of AI, this isn’t particularly surprising, but seeing it all work together in real time is pretty incredible.
But it’s not scary. It’s… marvelous, cringey, uncomfortable, awe-inspiring. What’s scary is not what AI can currently do, but what we expect from it. Can it do math yet? Can it play chess? Can it write entire apps from scratch? Can it just do my entire job for me?
We’re moving toward a world where every job will be modeled, and you’ll either be an AI owner, a model architect, an agent/hardware engineer, a technician, or just.. training data.

Yeh it's cringe. I had to stop listening.
Why did they make the woman sound like she's permanently on the brink of giggling? It's nauseating how overstated her pretentious banter is. Somewhere between condescending nanny and preschool teacher. Like how you might talk to a child who's at risk of crying so you dial up the positive reinforcement.

#720Can someone explain how you can interrupt with the voice this model? Where do I read more technical details about this?
