Honestly I found it annoying that he HAD TO cut the AI off mid-sentence. These things just ramble on and on and on. If you could put emotion to it, it's as if they're uncomfortable with silence and just fill the space with nonsense.

Let's hope there's a future update where it can take video from both the front and rear cameras simultaneously so it can identify when I'm annoyed and stop talking (or excited, and share more).



I found it insightful. They showed us how to handle the rough edges like when it thought his face was a wooden table and he cleared the stale image reference by saying “I’m not a wooden table. What do you see now?” then it recovered and moved on.

Perfect should not be the enemy of good. It will get better.


I mean it didn't really ramble he just seemed to be in a rush, and i'm sure you could system message it to provide short concise answers always.


That is not at all the impression I got.

Human: "Hey How's it Going?"

The AI: "Hey there, it's going great. How about you? [Doesn't stop to let him answer] I see you're rocking an OpenAI Hoodie - nice choice. What's up with that ceiling though? Are you in a cool industrial style office or something?"

How we expect a human to answer: "Hey I'm great, how are you?"

Maybe they set it up this way to demonstrate the vision functionality. But still - rambling.

Later on:

Human: "We've got a new announcement to make."

AI: "That's exciting. Announcements are always a big deal. Judging by the setup it looks like it's going to be quite the professional production. Is this announcement related to OpenAI perhaps? I'm intrigued - [cut off]"

How we expect a human to answer: "That's exciting! Is it about OpenAI?"

These AI chat bots all generate responses like a teenager being verbose in order to hit some arbitrary word count in an essay or because they think it makes them sound smarter.

Maybe it's just that I find it creepy that these companies are trying to humanize AI while I want it to stay the tool that it is. I don't want fake emotion and fake intrigue.
