The movie Her has just become reality

It's been a reality in Russia since 2017.

> The voice of "Alice" was dubbing actress Tatiana Shitova, who voiced most of Scarlett Johansson's characters and the voice of OS1, who called herself "Samantha", in the Russian dubbing of Spike Jonze's "Her".

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…

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…

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?

It'll be more like: "This content is in violation of our policies. Your account will be temporarily disabled for seven days."

I see a lot of fear around these new kinds of tools. I think though, that criminals will always find ways to leverage new technology to their benefit, and we've always found ways to deal with that. This changes little. Additionally, as you are aware of this, so are people creating this tech, and a lot of effort is underway to protect from malicious uses.

That wont stop criminal enterprises from implementing their own naughty tools, but these open models wont become some kind of holy grail for criminals to do as they please.

That being said, I do beleive, now more than ever, education world wide should be adjusted to fit this new paradigm and maybe adapt quicker to such changes.

As some commenters pointed out, there are already good tools and techiques to use to counter malicious use of AI. maybe noy covering all use cases, but we need to educate people on using the tools available, and trust that researchers (like many of yourselves) are capable of imnovations which will reduce risk even further.

There is no point and no benefit in trying to be negative or full of fear. Go forward with positivity and creativity. Even if big tech gets regulated, some criminal enterprises have billions to invest too, so criplling big tech here will only play into their hands in the end.

Love these new innovations. And for the record, gpt4o still told me to 'push rip' on amd64... so rip to it actually understanding stuff...

If you are smart enough to see some risks here, you might also be smart enough to positively contribute to improvements. Fear shuts things down, love opens them up. Its basic stuff.

This demo is amazing, not scary. its positive advancements in technology and it wont be stopped because people are afraid of it, so go with it, and contribute in areas where you feel its needed. Even if its just giving feedback. And whem giving that, you all know a balanced and constructive approach works better than a negative and destructive approach.

Call me back when we have autonomous driving, and when Bitcoin will replace currencies. What's scary and cringey are your delusions.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting the current capabilities are anywhere near replacing human productivity. Some things are 1 year out, some 5 (maybe self-driving cars by then? Mercedes has it on their roadmap for 2030 and they’ve historically been realistic), some 10+. But the pieces are in place and the investments are being made. The question is no longer “can AI really automate this?”, it’s “how do we get the dataset that will enable us to automate this with AI?”. And as long as Open AI keeps people’s eyes on their whizbang demos, the money will keep flowing…

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 th…

> I'll die on that hill

"I'll" instead of I will? Is it shortcuts you are mad at or just change?

Criminals misusing it? I feel like this is already a dangerous way to use AI, they use an enthusiastic, flirty and attractive female voice on millions of nerds. They openly say this is going to be like the movie Her. Shouldn't we have some societal discussion before we unleash paid AI girlfriends on everybody?

We've had voice input and voice output with computers for a long time, but it's never felt like spoken conversation. At best it's a series of separate voice notes. It feels more like texting than talking. These demos show people talking to artificial intelligence. This is new. Humans are more partial to talking than writing. When people talk to each other (in person or over low-latency audio) there's a rich metadata…

I started using the Pi LLM app (by Inflection.ai) with my kids about six months ago and was completely blown away by how human-like it sounded, not just the voice itself but the way it expresses itself, the tiny pauses and hesitations, the human-like imperfections. It does feel like conversing with another human -- I've never seen another LLM do that.

(We mostly use it in car trips -- great for keeping the kids (ages 8, 12) occupied with endless Harry Potter trivia questions, answers to science questions, etc.)

I think that the world is still not coping with current tech. Legislation and protections don't sufficiently cover people for current scams or how companies leverage tech against workers.

This is even more scary that this puts a lower bound price on many, many skills, with again, still no protections for humans.

Would this be exciting if everyone had a safe place to live with infinite electricity and food? Sure. Will tools like this bring about massive uncertainty, hurt, and pain? Almost certainly.

Saying that the sun is shining where you live, doesn't mean there isn't flooding in other parts of the world.
