GPT-4 voice is so, so good. Really what you would want a voice tool to be like. I can talk to it like a normal human being, unlike issuing specific commands loudly as with Siri.
- klabb3 3y agoBut no matter the Siri shittiness (which I agree with) an LLM can only interact with the outside world – ie run commands – that exist and have a reasonable API surface, no? Apple has had automation for ages with Automator, Shortcuts etc but nothing that actually integrates well with day to day flow. So.. setting a timer when my hands are wet already works ok, and that’s about what I need. I honestly wonder what type of voice interactions people want with their phones. I can see transcribing/crafting chat messages I guess? But even so, it feels like it would mess up and use iMessage instead of WhatsApp, will it narrate my memes, open links and read “subscribe for only 4.99 to read this article”, cookie consents etc etc. if everything sucks how is narrating it gonna help? Maybe I’m old but I still don’t see the major value-add of voice interfaces, despite massively improved tech and potential.

Give me a brief summary of my emails over the night, tell me the headlines from the news outlets I follow, summarize tweets from my favorited accounts, and give me an overview of the market based on my investments and watchlists.
