Its great tech and i thought i wanted it but…. After talking to it for a few hours i got this really bizarre odd gut feeling of disturbance and discomfort, disconnection from reality. It reminds me of wearing VR goggles. Its not just the physical issues there is something psychologically disturbing about it. It wont even give itself a name. I honestly prefer Siri even though she is incompetent she is “honest” in her incompetence. Also i left the thing on accidentally and it said it had an eight hour chat with me lol

#852That woman's voice intonation is just scary .Not because it talks really well, but because it is always happy, optimistic, enthusiastic. And this echoes to what several of my employers idealized as a good employee. That's terrifying because those AI become what their master's think an engaging human should be. It's quite close to Bostondynamics di some years ago. what did they show ? You can hit a robot very hard whi…
Yes it feels very cyberpunk. Me: I can't breathe, am i going to die? Enthusiastic woman's voice: Yes Jim, that's absolutely correct! You will die of suffocation in approximately 3 minutes 41 seconds. Anything else i can do for you?
Me: Open the pod door please

#853The similiarity between this model and the movie 'Her' [0] creeps me out so badly that I can't shake the feeling that our social interactions are on the brink of doom. [0] https://youtu.be/GV01B5kVsC0?feature=shared&t=85
Don't worry. "Her", in its own right, is frightening, but this is because there is no transparency - you actually can't see how it works and you can't personalize it - choose different options.
Once you grasp that, at least this level of fear should go away. Of course, I'm sure there are more levels of fear related to AI :) just don't have enough time to think about it, perhaps good for me.

#854I'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 think if you listen to the way it answers, it seems its using a technique trained speakers use. To buy itself time to think, it repeats/paraphrases the question/request before actually answering. I'm sure you'll find this part is a lot quicker to process, giving the instant response (the old gpt4-turbo is generally very quick with simple requests like this). Rather impressively all it would need is an additional cu…
This behavior is clearly shown on the dad joke demo: https://vimeo.com/945587876

#855Now that I see this, here is my wish (I know there are security privacy concerns but let's pretend there are not there for this wish): An app that runs on my desktop and has access to my screen(s) when I work. At any time I can ask it something about what's on the screen, it can jump in and let me know if it thinks I made a mistake (think pair programming) or a suggestion (drafting a document). It can also quickly ta…
1984's telescreens aren't something you're supposed to wish for

Re: GPT-4o
#857This 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 pre…
Like another comment mentioned, sigmoid curves [1] are ubiquitous with neural network systems. Neural network systems can be intoxicating because it's so "easy" (relatively speaking) to go from nothing to 80% in extremely short periods of time. And so it seems completely obvious that hitting 100% is imminent. Yet it turns out that each percent afterwards starts coming exponentially more slowly, and we tend to just bu…
I think it's more like an exponential curve where it looks flat moments before it shoots up.
mapping th genome was that way. On a 20yr schedule, barely any progress for 15 and then poof, done ahead of schedule

#858I, for one, welcome our new annoying-sounding AI overlords.
Re: GPT-4o
#859The more I get, the more I want. Exciting times. Can't wait for GPT-5.
Re: GPT-4o
#860Nice, the landing page says "Try on ChatGPT" but when I create an account all I can try is GPT3.5.
I am not surprised.
