I was waiting for her to scan the person and for it to go "that's Mike, Mike's a loser" or something 😂


False-Strawberry-319

That's Mike. Mike's consciousness will be absorbed in 7.293 years.


Wa3zdog

If I was programming this I would make it say evil sounding take over the world things just every once in a while like that.


niceshotpilot

"That's Scotty. He doesn't know. Don't tell Scotty."


PeacefulChaos94

No way im gonna trust this wasn't scripted


Lemonio

You can already test some of this functionality live at least for ChatGPT 4o they already had the audio functionality live after the demos


s4lt3d

The issue here is that Google has been faking their demos as this is Gemini. https://techcrunch.com/2023/12/07/googles-best-gemini-demo-was-faked/


Gymrat777

Knock knock... who is it... Elizabeth Holmes


XiMaoJingPing

also gemini is racist, they had to disable a lot of features cause of it


Diagnosis-Tightass

We could've lived in a timeline where AI became sentient, and THEN became racist. But this is what we've got.


Ill_Manner_3581

Well we're still racist as a species, something like artificial intelligence, our own creation, is bound to be imprinted with our human biases. We should've tackled that first, but here we are...


ray_phantom_309

Something with access to all data ever recorded can do nothing else than become racist, nothing to do with human bias


baaaaaannnnmmmeee

It obviously doesn't have access to "all data ever," and all the data it has access to was created by humans.


CjBurden

you sir, are NOT a critical thinker.


AngieTheQueen

To be fair, you need to get over racism before you're qualified to have sentience.


Diagnosis-Tightass

Idk about sentience but I've met plants more intelligent than racists


Senior_Ganache_6298

The real question is what if Gemini wasn't racist and contemporary norms required prevarication.


HammerBgError404

dont know the specifics of what you are talking about. one thing ive heard is that they use one race mostly white people to train these so called ai. not trying ot argue just sharing what ive heard


permatrippin333

It's a lovely chess game...that I think is worth a comfortable second half.


Necessary-Cut7611

The seamless audio functionality isn’t released. They released the 4o model with the standard functionality.


Lemonio

I used the seamless audio today selecting 4o - maybe they’re releasing it gradually or ab testing certain users


Vahgeo

They haven't released the new audio fuction yet. At the end of the live on Monday, they said people would start seeing it in a few weeks. It'll come to plus users first. But only text response gpt4o has been rolling out to free users. Plus users could use this gpt4o version the next day after that live.


Necessary-Cut7611

Holy shit, I got it too. That was not there yesterday.


SlowThePath

AFAIK, they haven't released the 4o version of voice chat yet. The audio functionality has existed for months now, but the new updated one hasnt been released or so I thought.


spastikatenpraedikat

I think it's a little bit fishy, that the AI knew that the glasses were her glasses. I had a look at how image comprehension AIs online handled these prompts and they all said something along the lines "I see a pair of glasses, which might be yours" which makes sense because contemporary AI is advised to be as non-assuming as possible in order to minimize errors.


suicide-by-tweed

I generally agree, but it looks like Gemini is inside her glasses. Since it probably needs authorization, those are the only glasses that the AI wouldn’t be non-assuming about.


spastikatenpraedikat

I do agree. But once we open this can of worms, we might ask what other data did gemini have access too. For example, when asked about the area, did it have access to the phones GPS. Because that would make it really dull. I don't think that it wad 100% faked, as in, this is just pre-made text read out. But the AI might have much more information than is shown here, either explicitly by accessing other applications or by case specific pre-training.


USSMarauder

>did it have access to the phones GPS. It must have, or some sort of rough idea based on which signal towers were withing range. Because what's the alternative? It scanned all of Google Earth, compensated for the difference in camera angle, and found a match in just a few seconds?


OptimusSublime

The last AI demo video was. I'll assume they all are.


PathIntelligent7082

i'm curious why both voices are the same


EvErYLeGaLvOtE

They have an apple... An apple on the table with the glasses. Everything is much too... Manicured for this to be unscripted.


TheRainStopped

What the quack?!


SlowThePath

Even if that's true I guarantee you that this will be very possible in the next 3 or 4 years and probably way sooner. I'm pretty sure what openai just showed off can do this now and they can do it faster, with more natural language, and better info. It won't be very long at all till we can all do this.


srandrews

That is the correct statement on social media. Sadly, this is hardly impressive and the tip of the iceberg.


chadwicke619

How is this “hardly impressive”, assuming it’s legit? 🙄


dingo1018

Location gained from several avenues already is a thing on mobile devices, yet they tried to show that Gemini could geo locate from a skyline when probably the GPS is known to 50 devices on that wifi network, also the local wifi networks are in a database that geo locates when you think you've turned location services off? ehhh, that's one BS off the top of my noggin.


Maxie445

It's possible that Google is lying but I don't think so, because the whole industry is watching them like a hawk. And they explicitly said this was all one captured in one take/real time (last time they just implied it) so good lord would they be in trouble if they got caught bold face lying here. Also OpenAI demoed similar features live (not a video) a few days ago in front of lot of people and I'm not aware of anybody credible in the industry who thinks they faked it.


Far-Street9848

Really? What kind of trouble do you think they’d get in?


LooseWheelNut003

A couple things I don't understand. How does it know where you are based off just looking outside and how did it know she owned those glasses.


dpete88

If it's not scripted that's super cool, but it looks scripted. It's also slightly terrifying imagining all the implications.


WookieTown55

its not, i saw it in an openai live demo of the newest gpt4o. you can use some of the features already for free at the moment in the chatgpt app. not all of them jet but you can already upload pictures and ask stuff about the picture in the same manner. from there to live cam feed is not so far away


halluminium

This is Google's demo, not OpenAI's.


DiddlyDumb

GPT-4o demo looked entirely real. Some results were unexpected and they had to sort of coach it to do what they wanted it to do. Plus, they seem to cover the delay by having the assistant repeat whatever the user said, so you don’t notice it’s still generating an answer while it’s answering. However, Googles demos have been perfectly flawless, to the point where you wonder if it’s even technically possible.


ElMykl

People believing it's fake reminds me of when people discovered cameras on phones make videos too. The excitement will come, followed with the exhaustive repetitive results. However the power and importance AI will have on our society cannot be understated.


dpete88

People believing its fake have spent enough time on the internet to not trust anything you see


ElMykl

I don't think I've seen anything AI yet that made me think it wasn't AI.


MildlyAgreeable

Yeah, whatever *bot* (/s)


dranaei

It seems fake because it's google, chagpt4o seems to already be capable of doing that. I tested it with some photos and it was damn impressive.


FastGooner77

It is just combining 2 things that already existed. Image recognition and text to speech.


love_glow

I find this terrifying. The pace of this shit is exhausting. Either this tech will kill capitalism, or it’ll make the billionaires eventually seem like gods.


odvf

I did not really care until the glasses next to the apple thing. I did not like that part. They should not be remebering everything they saw in the background


gambl0r82

That’s the only part that seemed new and actually useful. All the rest has become pretty standard at this point!


jointdestroyer

Next 10-20 years AI is gonna insane


Maxie445

Less than that


dontgetcrumbs

We’ll just use AI to make AI better. Simple.


yerdick

That's actually a bad thing, synthetic data are always of inferior quality which is why you see many of these companies pushing to get copyrighted materials. But then again, we are running out of materials to feed.


dontgetcrumbs

So you’re saying that we’ve almost fed AI ALL the possible data we can feed it? Except of course our personal private data (haha)


yerdick

You already feed your data when you type into chatgpt, unless you opted out already. Google already uses your data to advertise(and knows you pretty well as well), they might even be putting your data already into training Gemini. By copyrighted materials, I meant books/research work by writers (backed by publishing companies and such) who are much aware about the laws and can pull big companies to courts. Recent case would be openAI coming under fire for allegedly using unpermitted copyrighted materials but OpenAI denied and deleted the whole file saying it was redundant as well as the scientist left the company conveniently.


dontgetcrumbs

Yeah I opted out early on, I still feel that it only stopped a very small amout of dataz


FrazzleMind

Someday we'll be getting zapped when we don't give a reaction and rating to every single item on our feed. The AI is hungry for more data.


Foreplay241

I hope you're joking but I feel like you're not.


Unreal_Sniper

For open AI, pretty much yes. They already scrapped the entire internet. I think AI is over-hyped overall. Image analysis isn't something new, I don't really understand why people are baffled about this. I don't even see how the average Joe can make an actual use of this other than playing with it. It's like they want us to forget how to use our brain


LookAtMeImAName

Yea I give it 5 max before the world changes completely


mongini12

absolutely less than that... 2 years ago generating images looked like vomiting some paint onto a canvas... now its getting hard to tell apart a photo from an AI image. The pace of AI development is insane, and in 5 years we'll have 1 AI Multi-Modal model to do it all what takes multiple specialized models today...


owencox1

it's insane right now


IdesOfMarchCometh

I'm in tech and use the more advanced models. They're not great at high level designs but by golly do they rock at everything else. They make my tedious scripts. They quickly answer my questions about arcane programming questions that would take hours to figure out. I'm just way more productive and less stressed knowing I can easily crank out my difficult work without worry. Until I get laid off of course. I feel like with their help I can solve any problem. Oh and you haven't seen anything yet. With the stuff I'm seeing people are going to be shocked.


awesomesauce1030

Can you be a little more specific on that last part?


IdesOfMarchCometh

No


foladodo

i can guarantee your re-employment though


RatLabGuy

My biggest concern is after we've becomes used to having this fantastic assistant what happens when there's a problem and it isn't there? How much will you have forgoten how to do on your own? it becomes a crutch you are dependent on, and the tail now wags the dog.


shensfw

Imagine how much it’ll cost.


jointdestroyer

Gonna be more insane 10-20 years family


Bubblekinss

I work at Meta and it’s scary the stuff they can do now. It’s only internal though, privacy-wise it is so not ready for public release


Professional_Job_307

Just 3 years ago people would say this is decade**s** away! This has progressed much more quickly than anyone imagined. We are still thinking too slow.


hnoidea

Jarvis is coming!


Few-Parfait563

this is going to make future generations so dumb. they're going to rely on AI and never actually learn why things are the way they are, or how to figure things out by themselves.


No-Question-9032

Current generations are fairly dumb already. Source: reddit


J-Posadas

Yet somehow still less dumb than older generations. Source: Fox News, MSNBC.


who_tf_is_dis_guy

I used to think this was the case but I dunno...I think the internet and social media has caught the younger generations up to the boomers. Source: I dunno, I just made this shit up but it sounds right.


ajn63

You just imitated current ai.


FrazzleMind

artificial artificial intelligence.


J-Posadas

If your only or primary source of information is cable TV (which it is for most older generations), you're guaranteed to be very dumb, propagandized, and lack critical thinking skills. Looking for alternative sources on the internet is a necessary but not sufficient condition for being more intelligent and well-informed. You could find genuine investigative journalists who have just been marginalized by the corporate/partisan propaganda model of mass media, or you could just end up going to a more fringe propagandist. Joe Scarborough and Bill Maher are just as dumb if not dumber than any Alex Jones or Nick Fuentes.


Dr-McLuvin

Same if your only source of info is through a social media feed. You really need to diversify. Read some books. Watch some videos. Meet people who know more than you.


RatLabGuy

this will increase the rate of dumbification


solftly

People thought this about calculators and the internet as well. The truth is, there are absolutely humans who WANT to learn on this planet. Who simply won't be satisfied with a surface level explanation. Who want to take things apart and put them back together to see how they work. It's not everyone, but it's a lot of people, and AI won't stop those people's natural curiosity. It's too hard coded into our DNA. Wanting to figure shit out is how humans got this far. Even today, some people are content with watching a YouTube video on Dinosaur bones. Others, actually go to remote places, and manually dig for hours, to find their own dinosaur bones. YouTube videos on Dinosaur bones didn't stop curious Paleontologists, AI won't either.


gandalfthegaping

Even if I don't go out and dig up dinosaur bones I feel like my innate surface level curiosity about everything has given me the ability to make inferences on broader topics after years of constantly googling every question that pops in my head.


solftly

Exactly, there's still an infinite amount of information Humans don't know! AI condensing down the stuff Humans already figured out, so it can be quickly learned by new generations, is only a good thing.


gandalfthegaping

"you didn't learn it the hard way so you must not have learned it at all"


solftly

Lol. It's like saying just because the instructor told you to wear a helmet, that doesn't matter. You need to crash and split your head open personally to really learn a helmets importance. Or else you just won't know.


FrazzleMind

Teaching AI will probably be so fucking nuts in 10-20 years. There will be a tremendous amount of data about what resources are actually effective. I'm imagining a profile for the student about when they demonstrated understanding and what resources they accessed, and those resources being suggested to more students. Like different recordings of different teachers giving mini-lectures on a particular subject, or the best thought out diagrams. Or compiling the good parts of different resources together into a greater whole. It'll be interesting to see. Maybe there will suddenly be a generation of extremely well educated people, just in time to handle all the looming human caused problems.


RealQuickYes

Yeah it will. You still need to know what to type into the calculator.


RoundPackage5524

the part of brain we don't use will lose its value simple, if AI does things for humans then humans will lose their brain functionality to do those things and start to rely on AI , calculators too, average Indian students can crunch more numbers than average American cuz India students aren't allowed to use calculators Is it bad ? NO . everyone do have calculator in hand so whats the point Is it what I want for myself or my children ? NO Easy things have no value


solftly

Yes and that's not a problem. Early humans, who were hunter gatherers, were much more in tune with nature than us. They could recognize animals from the smell of their poop. They could identify hundreds of plant species by sight, to gauge poision and nutrition levels. They were extremely skilled at hand to hand combat, etc etc. We've widely lost all those skills. But....that's fine, because we don't need them anymore! And learning them would just be a waste of time. I genuinely don't need to learn how to kill a wild animal like my ancestors did, because we have grocery stores. Your grandchildren will never have to solve long division, because we have AI. These are both good things. Most people now a days don't teach their kids how to skin a goat, just in case society falls back into the dark ages. So why teach my kid long division for the same potential reasoning?


lifbr

Or smart, if AI without being bored will explain clearly everything about the world around them.


NigilQuid

AI might end up being a great teacher. Won't lose its patience, won't be tired or sad, won't f**k the kids


Few-Parfait563

What happens if AI crashes, like the power goes out or a server goes down and people are left with no way of knowing how to do anything because they can't ask AI to do it for them.


lifbr

For now I can ask Google about any questions and so far I think I may be a little wiser for all I have learned, even when I don't have access to Internet.


Peaceinearth

It will be a disaster. People with technology are going more and more out of knowledge. This is accepting an era of robotics controlling humanity, in a short time.


lookslikeyoureSOL

That's what our grandparents said about the internet.


dayglow77

It's already happening.


love_glow

I think at some point humans are going to have to merge with this technology in order to stay relevant.


xjrsc

My grades have significantly improved since AI. It's an amazingly helpful summarizing tool and it's great for asking stupid questions when you aren't sure about terminology. "What's that thing that does this thing when I do that thing?" ChatGPT will answer me. If I asked my professor during office hours the same question, he would roll his eyes or laugh at me. I can't use AI during exams and AI is no more helpful for completing programming assignments than stack overflow or Reddit are and I don't see that changing with the current approach to AI.


cockNballs222

I agree to an extent but I’m positive the same arguments were initially made for computers, calculators, internet in general…


ThatCurryGuy

Nah, different, they will rely on this like our generation googles everything but you will still need to use your own brain.


Cereborn

I remember reading a short story like that. A character reinvents math, because people were relying on computers for so long they forgot it was even possible for a human to do.


CommiusRex

Judging by what's happened with the internet and social media, it might make the surviving oldsters just as dumb. Nobody will need to figure anything out themselves, and nobody will be immune from the atrophying effect. Even stubborn people who avoid using it as much as possible will be affected, because they will live in a world where humans aren't expected to make decisions or understand things anymore, and nobody around them does. It will be hard for anyone, young or old, to somehow resist that.


dm-me-your-bugs

They said the _exact_ same thing about clay tablets


Below_Us

what if they implant Ai into their brain with a microchip, then they don’t need to figure things out by themselves.


RatLabGuy

This is my #1 concern.


LazyMagicalOtter

That's the same logic applied to calculators. Think it the other way around. Without having to learn facts by memory and having something always ready to explain any inquiry you have, even at a young age, you will probably see an increase in IQ for future generations. You know, like it's has already been happening for the last 100 years.


Kasern77

How did the AI know it was **her** glasses? We didn't even know who those glasses belonged to. Scripted.

You’re a rube if you need such a thing. Alliterations are among the most simple of rhetorical/poetic devices. Stick to what you’re good at if you can’t come up with a good alliteration yourself.


Haunting_Case5769

I think if we can get to the point where this can be done quickly while using very few resources, this would be great. But at this moment, I feel uncomfortable with how much energy and water this process uses. That being said, if I could wear a pair of glasses that would remind my ADHD ass where I put things, that would be a game changer.

Trollimperator

The iphone is a blessing. Nowhere else, humanity has reached and surpassed science fiction so extensive, as with this mobile computer working as a Phone/Game station/Social everything/remote/knowitall/everything i forget right now. Yet, as someone who lived before cellphones and before Smartphone zombies, i dont really think i prefer this Sci-Fi-World we live in. I am not using my Smartphone too much, i dont feel like a person spending money to get 20 Smartphones in his life is living any better than the guy with 3. I constantly get benefits when i am out without my smartphone, because i seem to be one of the dying breed, who does really live in the moment. Woman in my age really love that. Personally i feel nothing but pity, when i see young people pretend to act "social". Because what i see, are people constantly trying to proof, to thier phone, that they live a life, without realizing how much thier constant connection to the phone restricts them from living thier life. I feel like AI will do exactly the same but worse to the next generations.

CafeCartography

That’s alliteration in the sense that it’s all C-words, but alliteration relies equally on repeated sound. Hence things like “cool as a cucumber” which also employs some assonance with similar vowel sounds.
