Thia video showcases the capabilities of GPT-4o. It can chat, sing, converse with other AIs, describe and give opinions on images, work as a translator, teach math, and much more.

Its bubbling with personality, but maybe a little over the top with that.

“Hey AI, you’re looking at me right now. Can you describe what I look like?”

“I see that you’re overcompensating for your early-onset male pattern baldness by wearing a ridiculously hipstery black leather jacket indoors.”

Only when there’s an exchange like that will I be convinced that AI has truly become human-like.

ETA: Apologies if that came off a little snarky. I fear and am fascinated by AI in equal measure.

I think a lot of us feel that way.

The inernet held so much promise and it has delivered on that in many ways, but it’s also helped spread misinformation, science denial, bigotry, and fascism. It spreads information, good and bad. I’m concerned that AI will only amplify this.

As a noir cyberpunk private investigator, my business partner may be an AI but I still need an unflappable, loyal secretary who is the only person I can trust.

Ignoring the over the top personality, which I’m sure can be toned down, this is amazing. We are entering a whole new world.

Real time conversational translation is ground-breaking, as is being the eyes for a blind person.
