How so? It's obvious convenient to for it to all be there on ChatGPT, but I'm more commenting on the "this is so Earth shattering" comments that are prevalent on platforms like Twitter (usually grifters,) when in reality while it will change the world, much of these tools sets already existed. So, the effect won't be as dramatic. OpenAI has already seen user numbers slip, I think them making this free is essentially an admission of that. In terms of the industry, it would be far more "Earth shattering" if OpenAI became the defacto assistant on iOS, which looks increasingly likely.
This is earth shattering because _it's all in the same place_. You don't need to fuck around with four different models to get it working for 15 minutes once on a Saturday at 3am.
It just works.
Just how like the iPhone had nothing new in it, all the tech had been demoed years ago.
Yes, it is very cool, but I think you're missing the point that many of these features, because they were already available, aren't world changing. They've been in the ether for a while. Will they make things more convenient? Yes. Is it fundamentally going to change how we work/live? At the moment, probably not.
First of all, no these features weren’t available. We have not seen a model that can seamlessly blend multimodal on the fly, in real time. We also haven’t seen a model that can interpret and respond with proper inflection and tone. We’ve been able to mimic voices but not like this. And certainly not singing.
Secondly, it must be sad living with such a lack of wonder. Is that how you judge everything?
We discovered the higgs boson. Eh, it won’t change how we live.
We just launched a new rocket. Eh, it won’t change how we live.
Many of these products and features were quite literally available. Proper voice inflection isn't that new either, it's cool, but not really going to/hasn't changed my life.
Lack of wonder? No, I think it's very cool. But you have to differentiate what is going to fundamentally change our lives and the world and something that isn't going to. GPT/LLM/AI will fundamentally change my life over time, the features shown today, 70% of them won't. They will replace existing products and make things more streamlined, but not going to really going to shift the world.
Not this level of quality in terms of voice inflection, and the other features. And the integration between them too. This is beyond anything I've seen.
It seems like you're overgeneralizing to the point of missing what is innovative here. And I do think making AI realtime and work well at it, is innovative and will change our lives.
