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.

Her enthusiasm about it "being about her" was really bizarre and I wonder if it wasn't staged a bit. I mean I hope it was staged a bit. If my AI servant started wasting all that time by acting all silly I would be pretty annoyed. But maybe it's smart enough to know that this is a situation where they just want her to be playful and fun instead of deliver information.

> You can hit a robot very hard while it does its job and then what ? It just goes on without complaining.

Maybe you’re referring to a different video than the one I watched (or I may be misremembering), but from what I recall the point of the video didn’t seem to be “you can abuse robots and they won’t fight back” but rather to show them recovering well from unpredictable situations (which could be environmental, not human).

Well, there was one video where the point was abuse, but that was CGI and not made by Boston Dynamics.

I do agree with your larger point, I don’t wish to detract from that.

Very interesting and extremely impressive! I tried using the voice chat in their app previously and was disappointed. The big UX problem was that it didn't try to understand when I had finished speaking. English is a second language and I paused a bit too long thinking of a word and it just started responding to my obviously half spoken sentence.

"I paused a bit too long thinking of a word and it just started responding to my obviously half spoken sentence. Trying again it just became stressful as I had to rush my words out to avoid an annoying response to an unfinished thought." I'm a native speaker and this was my experience as well. I had better luck manually sending the message with the "push to hold" button.

Same. It cuts off really quick when I'm trying to phrase a complex prompt and I wind up losing my work. So I go to the manual dictation mode, which works really nicely but doesnt give me the hands off mode. I admit, the hands off mode is often better for simpler interactions, but even then, I am frequently cut off mid-prompt.

Just something I noticed in the Language tokenization section When referring to itself, it uses the female word in Marathi नमस्कार, माझे नाव जीपीटी-4o आहे| मी एक नवीन प्रकारची भाषा मॉडेल आहे| तुम्हाला भेटून आनंद झाला! and Male word in Hindi नमस्ते, मेरा नाम जीपीटी-4o है। मैं एक नए प्रकार का भाषा मॉडल हूँ। आपसे मिलकर अच्छा लगा!

In my language (Romanian) it refers to itself as a male. Although if I address it as a female it responds as one.

SEO spam got into the training data.

The AI woman's voice is far too breathy and emotive. I instantly hate it and don't want to hear it. The AI has also copied one of my personal pet peeves, which is dropping or swallowing d's and t's from certain words, like "didn't" to "di-unt" and "important" to "impor-unt"--which I find to be a new unbearable laziness spreading amongst younger Americans today. There are TWO T's in important goddammit (I'll die on that hill).

I hate this voice, it will just overprint everyone's voice now with Silicon Valley's annoying "Valley-girl-lite" accent.

I get the feeling but what altenrative would you prefer? I do want my phone to just go again without complaining without a crash, after all.

I want Richard Dawkins or David Attenborough to narrate my code for me.

The ts and ds thing... it's just language. It changes over time, it's not youth being lazy... The slang of the youth today is actually kinda wordy and extra.

Anyway, I too think today's youth's slang and language is annoying, but not really something the older generations get a say in.

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…

> We’re moving toward a world where every job will be modeled After an OpenAI launch, I think it's important to take one's feelings about the future impact of the technology with a HUGE grain of salt. OpenAI are masters of hype. They have been generating hype for years now, yet the real-world impacts remain modest so far. Do you remember when they teased GPT-2 as "too dangerous" for public access? I do. Yet we now ha…

" GPT-4o doesn't show much of an improvement in "reasoning" strength."

Maybe that is GPT-5.

And this release really is just incremental improvements in speed, and tying together a few different existing features.

This could be part of great stress relief device.

Just install it in a mannequin with with a punchable face, telling you how sorry it is that your are struggling with your life, with that happy, ironic and cynical voice intonation.
