This is literally the functionality from the recent OpenAI demo

A cool aspect here is that the LLM can take over the conversation if you don't know what to say/are bad at smalltalk.

Yeah, I remember a similar demo, 8 years ago for Skype:

I'm curious to see the next demo, 8 years from now.

The voice chat works pretty great in other languages as well (seriously what's the point of ragging on a feature you haven't used ?) so not sure what the point of this is. There are countless more demos that were not in fact just a demo.

Excuse me, but, what feature are you talking about and how do you know I haven't used it?

The new hands off voice chat that Open AI is rolling out to users. I know because your snide comment makes no sense if you have (It works). And I especially know now because people who actually have used a feature they rag actually say so after the call out, not turn the question around on the accuser.

I'm sorry, but I asked for a clarifying question: which feature do you mean? My earlier comment mentions both Skype and ChatGPT. Which one did you mean I haven't used, and how would you know I haven't, except for the guesswork in your latest comment?

Also I did not realise I was being accused of something? What am I being accused of?

This comment,

>Good luck using an LLM to talk to strangers in a bar in a foreign language.

Followed by,

>This is literally the functionality from the recent OpenAI demo

You respond with,

>Yeah, I remember a similar demo, 8 years ago for Skype: https://youtu.be/G87pHe6mP0I?si=s-BjpVGApB15ciSl

>I'm curious to see the next demo, 8 years from now.

You're going to pretend this isn't a snide comment but asking a clarifying question. Really ? Why are you being intentionally obtuse ?

I'm sorry, have I insulted you? Why are you calling me obtuse?

Homie you're the only one talking about Skype. How many times do they need to say "OpenAI" before that clicks?
