The New Siri seems to be quite useful, with "personal context" understanding my calendar, messages, mail etc.
ChatGPT 4 voice mode is very impressive, with the conversation getting clarifications and finding exactly the information I want (when it is not hallucinating). ChatGPT-4o will be amazing if it is as good as what we saw from the demo.
It is not for everyone, but I personally use AI chat every day and find it useful.
Chatgpt finds you useful also!
I'll integrate ChatGPT into my household when I can run it locally on my own server computer.
You can do that right meow. Not ChatGPT but open source models.
Anything decent that doesn't require a couple of 3090s?

Thanks I'll have to check them out - are these going to be gateway AIs that will end up with me talking myself into buying 2x3090s? I'm just asking now to know how much I'm going to test the bounds of WAF in the near future.
Most assistance models will run in a pi
Are you not able to access ChatGPT-4o? Its what my app defaults to instead of regular 4
I am a free user, and it is still chatgpt 4.
And the new voice model doesn't seem to be available yet, even for paid users.
Alright Iām a paid user and I do have the voice model. Had it for a few weeks now.
That's voice chat which has been there for a long time.
The 4o voice model is different. 4o can chat much more naturally, and you can interrupt the voice chat in 4o.
Try it, you can't interrupt the chat unless you touch the screen.
You can go back to see the 4o voice chat demo, and you will find out which different it is.
