I know OpenAI is working on some sort of hardware integration with it (designed by Jony Ive). I almost think it’ll compete with HomePod, Nest, and Alexa. I’m using ChatGPT 4 and love what’s coming back from it. Aside from limitations and some minor inaccuracies, it’s been great. The mobile app on my iPhone was great on my last road trip. I told it was driving alone and I needed company and if could help me. Sure enough it offered to make small talk with me for about an hour before I got bored trying to push it more to keep me entertained. The entire time I kept thinking of the movie Her and how close this was to reality. Something tells me Apple is going down this path by the next WWDC.

Ha. My response to this was a very visceral "eww".. but I also realise I'm not normal. Not super keen on small talk with humans either tho tbh. I somehow fell off the tech nerd train and wandered onto a Luddite bus. I find myself supremely uninterested in the current AI hype, especially given I realised early on that the math was beyond me, so I felt I couldn't get a proper grasp "under the hood" But it's also very clearly possible my first conversational interactions with these systems might happen without my even realising that I'm not dealing with a human. Might have already happened.
