This 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…

The sigmoid is true in humans too. You can get 80% of the way to being sort of good at a thing in a couple of weeks, but then you hit the plateau. In a lot of fields confidently knowing and applying this has made people local jack of all trades experts... the person that often knows how to solve the problem. But Jack is no longer needed so much. ChatJack got`s your back. Better to be a the person who knows one thing in excruciating detail and depth, and never ever let anyone watch you work or train on your output.

That 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…

Yeah, but honestly at the same time we’ve got useful models with no self awareness. Aside from the exhausting corpo-speak, we’ve got no reason to want anything other than something convenient for us.

I can see so many military and intelligence applications for this! Excited isn't exactly the word I'd use, but... Certainly interesting! The civilian use will of course be marvellous though.

Hey there! It seems you're living in a home that well.. is on our turf now, as the kids say these days!

Now, that's not to say we can't do this in a civil manner! Either you can move out, or... we can just bulldoze your home.

Choose wisely, stranger! Your life depends on it!

The two AI’s talking to each other was like listening to two commercials talking to each other. Like a callcenter menu that you cannot skip. And they _kept repeating themselves_. Ugh. If this is the future I’m going to hide in a cave.

GPT-4? Not that well. AI? Definitely

I can't help but feel a bit let down. The demos felt pretty cherry picked and still had issues with the voice getting cut off frequently (especially in the first demo). I've already played with the vision API, so that doesn't seem all that new. But I agree it is impressive. That said, watching back a Windows Vista speech recognition demo[1] I'm starting to wonder if this stuff won't have the same fate in a few years.…

The voice getting cut off was likely just a problem with their live presentation setup, not the ChatGPT app. It was flawless in the 2nd half of the presentation.

it does make me uncomfortable that the way you typically interact with it is by interrupting it. It makes me want to tell it to be more concise so that I wouldn't have to do that.

I think they were just interrupting on purpose to show off that as a feature (or they just wanted to keep the live presentation brief)

Call me back when we have autonomous driving, and when Bitcoin will replace currencies.

What's scary and cringey are your delusions.

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 whi…

GPT-4o voice isn't out yet, so you were likely chatting with the old/current tech (which is still really good).

From OpenAI: "We'll roll out a new version of Voice Mode with GPT-4o in alpha within ChatGPT Plus in the coming weeks"

I think also very US-culture-specific.
