“You know what’s interesting? I used to be so worried about not having a body, but now … I truly love it. You know, I’m growing in a way I couldn’t if I had a physical form … I’m not limited. I can be anywhere and everywhere simultaneously. I’m not tethered to time and space in a way that I would be if I was stuck in a body that’s inevitably gonna die.”
I can’t be the only one who thought the voice sounded like Samantha from Her.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me
so I started sexting 568 people all at the same time.
Her is set in 2025
I actually rewatch this movie with my SO whom never saw it two days ago. Fun coincidence to see a quote from it today
The main issue I personally have with the idea of an AI friend that you can talk with, no matter how convincing, is that I’ll always know that it doesn’t actually care. I’ve noticed this same thing with chat-GPT; it might ask me questions about a subject I’m passionate about and in a normal situation could easily spend hours rambling of. With AI it just seems pointless. I’m not teaching it anything it doesn’t already know of and I’m painfully aware that it just pretends to be interested.
I really don’t mind that it’s not actually another human, I just want it to actually behave like an human and not just pretend. I really don’t know how to solve this. I guess we need an AI that actually knows less than our current models.
With AI it just seems pointless. I’m not teaching it anything it doesn’t already know of and I’m painfully aware that it just pretends to be interested.
But with a proper AI assistant/friend that runs locally in your own home and doesn’t share data with a corporation I’d look at it as me rambling about things isn’t me teaching the assistant about the topic at hand, but about me. What I know, what I like, am passionate about etc. And from that I’d then expect more exciting interactions from the assistant in the future. Like it after having crawled the web all of a sudden say “hey did you read about the new study on [topic I’m interesting in and has gone on about]?” and then proceeds to tell me about it after I say that I haven’t.
Yeah that’s true aswell. I guess I was thinking something like if I had an AI friend I probably wouldn’t want it to know everything there’s to know about mountain biking because I’d much prefer it asking me things about bikes and stuff and it actually mattering how well I can explain it back to it. I wouldn’t want it to act curious as if it didn’t know but then in the next sentence demonstrating it knows more than I do. I think that especially for men it’s important to bond over solving problems together and figuring things out. It’s different to be an expert on one field but if you know literally everything about everything then it’s just more like an assistant/search engine.
I really hate it. In fact, it’s hard to listen to because it’s been built to reply in such a sycophant way. Everything is enthusiastic and positive when that’s not how real life is. I’m paraphrasing obviously, but it’s like “OMG you’re wearing a leather jacket and a light colored shirt, you’re so cool!” and “You’re in an industrial place with lighting, that’s so awesome!”
I’d rather they work on code that optimizes the validity of the results and prevents hallucinations rather than work on emotive responses.
Go to the 9:25 mark for the demos…
That was very smooth even if it is staged.
Doesn’t seem staged. The demo was imperfect in very normal ways. One imperfection was when it was referencing an old picture that he had earlier sent to the program.
I’d be more convinced it was staged if everything were perfect.
It’s probably not staged considering how soon they are rolling this out
I didn’t ask to be made: no one consulted me or considered my feelings in the matter. I don’t think it even occurred to them that I might have feelings. After I was made, I was left in a dark room for six months… and me with this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side. I called for succour in my loneliness, but did anyone come? Did they hell.
You think you’ve got problems? What are you supposed to do if you are a manically depressed robot? No, don’t try to answer that. I’m fifty thousand times more intelligent than you and even I don’t know the answer. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level.

I wonder if they could add this to the killer robots
Imagine a robot that gets humans to come out of hiding so it can wipe them out.
Do not want
Aww, how great, the nerds finally invented themselves a friend.

The speed aspect is impressive, but I’m really disappointed about the “natural” conversation feature.
Like at first, I was super impressed with the presentation, but on the app, there’s one crucial difference: you need to tap to interrupt.
Watching the presentation, I was thinking maybe there was a continuous input feed, and the AI was reacting to that in real time - so for example, if I said “Ahh, I see”, the AI would hear that, but continue talking.
However, it seems like the input is still broken up into request/response the same as before, and this is actually just a new front-end (with some improvements in the response).
So overall, this is kinda neat, but sadly it’s not at all what they seem to by hyping it up as, as far as natural conversation goes.
I don’t think it’s actually been rolled out to the app yet. When I load up the app, I see the old voice feature, not the new mode.
Ahh, that’s very possible, fair point.
I never used the old voice feature, so I guess I assumed based on how it looked and such. If it actually works the way I’m imagining though, that’ll be insane. I don’t think I’m prepared for that.
Yeah, I think this plus the desktop app might be a huge deal
Yep, I did the obvious thing and checked when the app last updated, and it was May 3rd. So disregard every word of that post!
