Here is a nice use-case. Put this in a pharmacy - have people hit a button, and ask questions about over-the-counter medications.
Really - any physical place where people are easily overwhelmed, have something like that would be really nice.
With some work - you can probably even run RAG on the questions and answer esoteric things like where the food court in an airport or the ATM in a hotel.
- pixelsort 2y agoThanks for digging that out. Yes, that makes sense to me as someone who made a fully local speech-2-speech prototype with Electron, including VAD and AEC. It was responsive but taxing. I had to use a mix of specialty models over onnx/wasm in the renderer and llama.cpp in the main process. One day, multimodal model will just do it all.

Even if you trust OpenAI's models more than your trained, certified, and insured pharmacist -- the pharmacists, their regulators, and their insurers sure won't! They've got a century of sunk costs to consider (and maybe even some valid concern over the answers a model might give on their behalf...) Don't be expecting anything like that in an traditional regulated medical setting any time soon.
- dymk 2y agoThe last few doctors appointments I’ve had, the clinician used a service to record and summarize the visit. It was using some sort of TTS and LLM to do so. It’s already in medical settings.
