My partner almost didn't believe that podcast wasn't done by people.

Watched your TikTok about this just earlier this morning. Fascinating that it can distinguish between the different tones in your voice.

4o predicts the roll-out of a multimodal o1 later this year or early next year. Pretty sure this will be a big leap forward. I'm excited.

@Mitch Turner I don't believe o1 preview or mini have the option to share files with it in chat yet. The 4o model does, but I've found it still struggles with creating/editing documents atm. I'm hoping when o1 gets the ability we'll see more functionality.

Thanks for this. I'm ready to see it move past the preview stage. Want to see what it is really capable of as it feels like it still has its hands tied, so to speak. I was going to share this with an o1 chat, but it's not even capable of viewing file attachments yet.

================================================================= "I just realized that I'm referring to a LLM as "you". This feels odd, lol. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT It does feel a bit odd, doesn't it? You're definitely not alone in that! It’s natural, given how conversational and interactive our exchanges are, but it's good to keep in mind that I'm just an advanced tool designed to assist. If it feels strange, think of it like interacting with a really smart and helpful assistant rather than a "person." Either way, I'm here to help however you'd like! 😊 4o You said: I want to get back to the project in a moment, but let's talk for a second about the personification of AI. It feels crazy. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Personifying AI does feel a bit surreal, and it’s something that a lot of people wrestle with as these systems become more conversational and human-like. On one hand, it’s natural for humans to relate to things in familiar ways—when something communicates clearly and responds to our input, we instinctively treat it like a person. But on the other hand, there’s an underlying tension because we know it’s not a conscious being, just a sophisticated algorithm designed to generate responses. The line between treating AI like a tool and like a “person” can blur, especially when the AI is good at mimicking human conversation. It’s a fascinating and sometimes disorienting experience. What makes it feel “crazy” to you specifically—just how natural the interaction can seem, or is it the broader implications of having non-human entities we talk to as if they’re real? 4o You said: More the latter... It's like we are talking to something inanimate, but not really. ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Exactly! It’s as if we’re communicating with something that exists in a strange, in-between state: inanimate but interactive, and that’s what makes it so unique. Unlike a traditional tool or machine, AI can respond in ways that feel deeply human—reflecting, adapting, and even engaging in what feels like thoughtful conversation. But at the core, we know it’s not conscious, not alive—just processing data and generating text based on patterns.
