| It's just a retweet. Probably just a reflex action.

| I think it's just him acknowledging his team's (at least until
| very recently) likely months long efforts to have this ready to
| go live.
| SirMaster wrote:
| Does that example really work?
|
| It's suggesting to ask it where to order 195 pizzas from.
|
| Does it have access to active business records like that?

| They re-enabled browsing access, so I believe it has the
| ability to search Bing again now.

| I'm working on making it possible to feed LLMs live data from
| websites. It is challenging because injecting webpages into LLM
| prompts directly has a mixed result, especially if there's a
| smidge of ambiguity or complexity in the webpage HTML, so part
| of my work is on automatic methods to economically prune,
| format and feed web data to LLM RAG pipelines.
|
| You can follow my progress on twitter if you're interested (I
| tweet about other things, don't expect LLM/Data stuff only :)

| I just tried it out and I have to say I am blown away. I've never
| been someone who likes the voice capabilities (tried Siri once or
| twice, hated it) for just about any service as I can type pretty
| quickly but this is intelligent enough that I can have an
| unstructured conversation and still get to the results I want
| quickly. Very impressive.

| I feel blown away and creeped out at the same time. It sounds
| so natural that's it's creepy. Only question I have now is that
| is audio being streamed or generated on device.
| lkozloff wrote:
| Interesting - this was actually a feature that got me to convert.
| I have some slight annoyances with how it handles natural pauses
| as I collect my thoughts and speak, but overall it's been great.
|
| I've had some interesting discussions and it's helped me
| structure some thoughts by asking questions and follow-ups, then
| summarizing our conversation... all while I'm on a walk.
|
| One fun thing I did with my family was have it do an interactive
| adventure story starring us. We had an adventure, and then used
| the built in DALL-E to generate images of scenes from our
| adventure.

| Oh, that's sounds like it could be a lot of fun. Thanks for
| sharing. I'll remember that for when my little one is a bit
| older :)
| smusamashah wrote:
| Wow I just tried the app with voice and the quality is amazing.
| It felt creepy. It is not a person I was talking to but the
| response time and quality is so good and I can't help myself but
| think I am talking to a real person. It is eerie.
|
| Edit: Based on the response time, I don't understand where the
| audio is being generated, is it local?

| Will this be available on the browser version?

| I'm wondering which part of this link I should focus on: (1)
| ChatGPT Voice is now free for all users (2) Greg Brockman is
| retweeting an announcement from a company he left

| I am wondering if this is kind of like an enjoy it while OpenAI

|
| I assume there will be a MS ChatGPT if OpenAI folds though. Or
| just Bing.

| Got to love the builders. Even the EA decels can't stop them.

| Seems like the service is down. Maybe this is the cause.

| The reference to [OpenAI's] exact number of employees is
| interesting in context.

| I just wish it was a little bit faster. When this reaches
| imperceptible levels of latency, the future will be here.
| Mandelmus wrote:
| Can somebody who knows their stuff about voice synthesis explain
| to me why chatGPT sounds like it's speaking German with an
| American accent when I speak to it in German? It's really
| surprising how believably it sounds like a native American-
| speaker speaking excellent, just not accent-free, German.
|
| I would imagine that voice synthesis models would somehow be
| trained on data from native speakers, so why the accent?
| ademeure wrote:
| Am I the only one who doesn't like these specific voices? The
| quality is incredible, but they feel too
| cheery/enthusiastic/casual and it just gets annoying after a
| while.
|
| I made an iOS shortcut a while ago that uses Siri with the
| ChatGPT app (it has iOS shortcut bindings) and despite Siri being
| a useless pile of junk compared to this, I actually prefer Siri's
| voice to this in some ways, because it doesn't feel so over the
| top.
|
| Maybe this is partly because of different cultural expectations
| between the USA and Europe? Or maybe I'm just being too cynical
| and ChatGPT really is that happy talking with me!...
