I noticed that Rufus popped up for me a few weeks ago in the Amazon app on my pocket supercomputer. It was late and I was bored when I first saw it, so I dinked around with it for a bit.
It was clearly and obviously ChatGPT, and it was stupendously simple to jailbreak it to do arbitrary ChatGPT things (by basically just giving it verbal permission to do so).
It wrote some dummy code for me. It dabbled around with fairly simple physics questions. (I don't verify any of the output -- I was just goofing around.)
By the very next day, I couldn't get it to do any of that at all, but it was still capable of having a potentially-productive conversation about stuff for sale on Amazon. I expected that this might develop into something actually-useful at some point, and it seemed like it was getting closer.
But more recently, it doesn't even remember what the last prompt was, so conversations (even about product details that would help me make a purchase) are a foregone conclusion.
Thus, Rufus is presently approximately as annoying and devoid of context with its insipid repetitiousness as my nearly-useless Alexa devices are.
