Yet.
Its basically a parrot with no long term memory. The fact that there are people out there that talk to it for hours does not surpise me. Its just sad. Because people do that because they dont have anyone. Theyre alone and theyd be happy to talk to anyone and anything if they could.
At one point, I thought I'd turned it off, and I saw a pelican, and I said to my dog, 'Oh, wow, a pelican!' And my AirPod went, 'A pelican, huh? That's so exciting for you! What's it doing?'
I’m sorry but how does this impress anyone? It’s like a conversation with autocorrect.
Wait, people are using a voice-chatbot to voice-chat with? Interesting....
Article photo taken 20 minutes after the following prompt:
"ChatGPT, please tell me how amazing my moustache is. Take as long as you need."
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In 2013, Spike Jonze's Her imagined a world where humans form deep emotional connections with AI, challenging perceptions of love and loneliness.
Ten years later, thanks to ChatGPT's recently added voice features, people are playing out a small slice of Her in reality, having hours-long discussions with the AI assistant on the go.
Last week, we related a story in which AI researcher Simon Willison spent hours talking to ChatGPT.
Speaking things out with other people has long been recognized as a helpful way to re-frame ideas in your mind, and ChatGPT can serve a similar role when other humans aren't around.
On Sunday, an X user named "stoop kid" posted advice for having a creative development session with ChatGPT on the go.
After prompting about helping with world-building and plotlines, he wrote, "turn on speaking mode, put in headphones, and go for a walk."
The original article contains 559 words, the summary contains 145 words. Saved 74%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This type of article is hilarious to me because chat bots have existed for over a decade already, but AI is the current buzzword so here’s more garbage “journalism” about it, whee
To be fair, chat bots previoulsy were not anywhere near as complex as they are now. This, imo, would warrent further discussion because of how significantly more advanced they are.
