I would say no if the question was asked of me. It’s like asking if you’d feel bad about marriage if you ended up divorced with a child. Or if you’d feel bad about commenting if it made someone feel like they lost brain cells.

The morality of an action isn’t based on actual consequences because the future isn’t known in advanced. All we can do is act on the perceived consequences of our actions, and if we think those are good, pursue them.

> if this stuff further exarcerbates the loneliness epidemic and atomization of society, will you be able to live with yourself you think?

Looking at the 30,000-foot view of how society is set up: laws, economic system, employee incentives, etc, do you suppose it matters what the individual contributors think? I say this not to absolve anyone of responsibility, but to point out the obvious outcomes of our incentives across the strata (polity -> shareholders -> boards -> C-suite -> employees)

I will bet you dollars to donuts, somewhere inside OpenAI is a frequently-used revenue dashboard, but not for loneliness - if anything, OpenAI will make horny models and tout itself as a solution to loneliness, a la character.ai - if that earns them more money.

That's not really a fair question, especially given the audience here on HN. Most here have blood on their hands from the previous 25 years of tech-eats-the-world.

Technology is what you make of it. If you want to make it your best friend and your only friend, that's your choice. But I would guess more people would use it as a personal tutor. If it works as well as the demo, this already crushes most language learning apps. Actually the only apps for learning language that it would fail to replace would still be Tandem and HelloTalk because it still can't replicate the nuance of real human interaction.

People who do this kind of stuff are very irritating. You clearly have some problem with the work they do. Instead of saying and approaching that outright, you pass it in some passive aggressive fake bullshit. Makes you sound like the kind of person I would much rather not be speaking to, which is kind of ironic given your comment.

"Hey Leibniz, how do you live with yourself knowing that your binary system helped eventually replace human conversations?"

I love the chatty tone of this utterly dystopian question.

In ChatGPT, Voice doesn't yet support connectors, but we're hoping to add support soon! Once GPT-Live launches in the API, you can also build custom integrations yourself.

There are many delegation models possible:

1. The voice model delegates to one agent.

2. The voice model delegates to multiple agents, and keeps track of tasks.

3. The voice model delegates to an orchestrator agent, which then delegates to sub-agents and keeps track of tasks.

YMMV depending on the exact product experience you care about, because there is a tradeoff between latency and layers of delegation.

Our current implementation is backed by one model, but you can imagine this getting much better with time.

Image input is supported, but video is not today. We're working hard to bring it to you soon.

Have you tried some of our deeper voices like Spruce? Would love to hear what your ideal voice is.

Write up about the architecture is here https://openai.com/index/delivering-low-latency-voice-ai-at-...

We're adding support to the API soon, which will let you integrate with any agent in the background. Would love to see the community go wild with it. You can sign up to be notified here: https://openai.com/form/gpt-live-1-in-the-api/
