#922The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.
Right to who? To me, the voice sounds like an over enthusiastic podcast interviewer. Whats wrong with wanting computers to sound like what people think computers should sound like?

#9231. Wonderful engineering 2. A stagnation in reasoning ability
Do you agree with me?

#924I found these videos quite hard to watch. There is a level of cringe that I found a bit unpleasant. It’s like some kind of uncanny valley of human interaction that I don’t get on nearly the same level with the text version.
While it is probably pretty normal for California, the insincere flattery and patronizing eagerness are definitely grating But then you have to stack that up against the fact that we are examining a technology and nitpicking over its tone of voice .

#925That 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…
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…

#927With GPT-4o I see two things: 1. Wonderful engineering 2. A stagnation in reasoning ability Do you agree with me?
It’s suspicious that despite being trained on audio tokens in addition to text and image tokens it performs almost exactly the same as GPT-4.
GPT-4o could be a half-baked GPT-5 in that they stopped training early when it had comparable performance to GPT-4. There is still more loss to lose.
Or maybe there’s a performance ceiling that all models are converging to, but I think this is less likely.

#929Other than that it felt like magic, like that Google demo of the phone doing some task like setting up an appointment over phone talking to a real person.

#930Curiously want to know why didn't they create the Windows desktop app first? which is the dominant desktop segment. In fear of competing with Microsoft's copilot?
