This looks…well amazing but also horrifying. When they showed of GPT assisting with math equations, it made me think of how much better I would be at math if I had an assistant like that growing up.
It also makes me think about how there are going to be so many scams and fraud in the future. It’s already starting, and it’s only going to get worse. I’m sure I’ll be duped by something like this in the future.
Also, people are going to totally be marrying gpt bots in the future lol.
Reducing emotion to voice intonation and facial expression is trivializing what it means to feel. This kind of approach dates from the 70s (promoted namely by Paul Elkman) and has been widely criticized from the get-go. It’s telling of the serious lack of emotional intelligence of the makers of such models. This field keeps redefining words pointing to deep concepts with their superficial facsimiles. If “emotion” is reduced to a smirk and “learning” to a calibrated variable, then of course OpenAI will be able to claim grand things based on that amputated view of the human experience.
The way the presenters had to talk over the voice to interrupt it was awkward as hell. It also seemed to pick up on background noise from the audience often and interrupt itself. That makes it unusable in loud public settings (which imo is great, I hope it will never be socially acceptable to chat loudly with your AI in public).
The demo was so fucking creepy. Would rather be in a dark room surrounded by victorian dolls that sometimes seem to turn their head towards you and blink.
How impressive this is will hinge on whether there were any shenanigans behind the demos. I find it difficult to take breathless announcements at face value given recent issues.
