Not yet. Voice assistants will massively benefit from LLM integration which will benefit OpenAI for sure.
It's just that nobody has built one yet, I'm surprised because it's a very suitable application. But I think the cost is much higher than the current scripted models, which means there must be a payment model attached. Right now all the major voice assistants are free and I have a feeling they're all waiting to see who makes the first paid LLM-based product, and how the market reacts.
- ManuelKiessling 3y agoI think there is an important distinction to make. Siri is actually two things — there are voice informers (“Please explain how photosynthesis works”) and voice assistants (“Remind me to call Dave when I reach my work location”). The former is really straightforward to implement with an LLM — it’s basically what an LLM is. The latter is a whole different story.
- kaba0 3y agoI mean, the latter is basically OpenAI’s assistant, that has some APIs it can autonomously call. The open problem here is making it on-device, and privacy preserving. Though I’m optimistic about this, as Apple has bought up a huge number of AI startups in the last couple of years, so they are probably onto something.
- wkat4242 3y agoIt's not really. I've done the latter. You just prompt it with "If I'm asking you to call someone, please output only "<CALL>" and the name of the person". Then capture that keyword. It works fine like that.
