This announcement seem to have killed so many startups that were trying to do multi-modal on top of ChatGPT.

I don't think anybody following OpenAI's feature releases will be caught off guard by ChatGPT becoming multi-modal. The app already features voice input. That still translates voice into text before sending, but it works so well that you basically never need to check or correct anything. Rather, you might have already been asking yourself why it doesn't reply back with a voice already.

And the ability ingest images was a highlight and all the hype of the GPT-4 announcement back in March: https://openai.com/research/gpt-4

Talking to Google and Siri has been positively frustrating this year. On long solo drives, I just want to have a conversation to learn about random things. I've been itching to "talk" to chatGPT and learn more (french | music theory | history | math | whatever) all summer. This should hit the spot!

I still don't understand how you can talk to something that doesn't provide factual information and just take it at face value? The other day I asked it about the place I live and it made up nonsense, I was trying to get it to help me with an essay and it was just wrong, it was telling me things about this region that weren't real. Do we just drive through a town, ask for a made up history about it and just be satisf…

Joe Rogan has made tons of money off talking without providing factual information. Hollywood has also made tons of money off movies "inspired by real events" that hallucinate key facts relevant to the movie's plot and characters. There's a huge market for infotainment that is "inspired by facts" but doesn't even try to be accurate.

I've replaced my voice google assistant searches with the voice feature of the Bing app. It's a night and day difference. Bing voice is what I always expected from an AI companion of the future, it is just lacking commands -- setting tasks, home automation, etc.

I’ve got one eye on https://www.elto.ai/. I was pitching something I like better earlier this year (I still think they’re missing a few key things), but with backing from roughly YC, Meta, and God, and a pretty clear understanding that robustness goes up a lot faster than capability goes down?

I wouldn’t count out focused, revenue-oriented players with Meta’s shit in their pocket out just yet.

We should be fine as long as it doesn't move. Jokes aside, I have paused my subscription because even GPT4 seemed to become dumber at tasks to the point that I barely used it, but the constant influx of new features is tempting me to renew it just to check them out...

I read this all the time and yet no one can seem to come up with even a few questions from several months ago that ChatGPT has become “worse” at. You would think if this is happening it would be very easy to produce such evidence since chat history of all conversations is stored by default.

Here is one. I ask it to write some code. 4-5 pages long. With some back & forth it does. Then I ask "change lines 50-65 from blue to red", and it does (change#1). I ask it to show me the full code. Then I ask "change lines 100-120 from yellow to green". Aaaaand it makes the change#2 and revokes the change#1. Oh!! the amount of times this has happened.. So now I ask it to make a change, I do it by 'paragraph' and I copy & paste the new paragraph. It's annoying, but still makes things faster.

The thought of my children being put to bed by a machine is horrifying. Then again, perhaps this is better than many kids have. Shudder.

If I could harness the power of AI to outsource my tasks, reading bedtime stories to my kids would be the last thing on that list. That's cherished time. Those are lifelong memories. Those are the moments we are supposed to be striving to have more of.

It saddens me to think of the amount of engineering work that went into creating that example while entirely missing the point. These are the moments we are supposed to be working towards to have more of. If we outsource them to an AI company because we are as as overworked and underpaid as ever...what's the point of it all?

You can put money on parents employing AI nannies to babysit/entertain/teach kids in next 5-10 years.

At first people will react with horror.

It already replaced search engines. So much easier to write the question and explore the answers until it is solved.

Agreed except ChatGPT (3.5 at least, haven't tried 4) is unable to provide primary sources for its results. At least when I tried, it just provided hallucinated urls

Try it. There's a world of difference.
