Just struck my mind. Couldnt ChatGPT be our civilizations 'Jarvis'?
2 points by AmpersAnd_ on March 7, 2023 | hide | past | favorite | 5 comments
Considering the usefulness of ChatGPT and the way it was designed to emulate human responses, is it fair to say that it is as close as humanity has gotten to the science fiction creation of 'Jarvis' from Marvel's Ironman I honestly could see it if ChatGPT had the capability of replying to users with that nice British sounding voice. Thoughts?



Jarvis is our civilations Jarvis: https://github.com/aruhier/jarvis-speech-recognition

I do understand what you mean, and I wouldn't be surprised of components of ChatGPT are implemented for a voice command A.I. Artificial intelligence is generally divided into two types – narrow (or weak) AI and general A.I., also known as AGI or strong A.I.[1] ChatGPT is what's known as a narrow A.I., it can only predict what text is should say based on the data it has. The Jarvis you're talking about is a general or strong A.I.

Yes, I think for the moment ChatGPT or a similar model being used by Microsoft Bing which is supposedly somewhat better is about as close as we have.

Eleven Labs has a very realistic British voice that can be relatively easily connected to ChatGPT output. Sometimes the latency isn't great at the moment for the inexpensive plans but I think they are working on it.

But we should expect better models and techniques within the next couple of years and potentially much, much better if you are talking about several years.

The most obvious (in my opinion) upcoming improvements are multimodal large models and further down the line new compute-in-memory substrates with much better efficiency/performance potential.

But also more sophisticated cognitive architectures are being developed and are likely to become more widespread in the next several years.


It's not even an Alexa.

But you can get text to speech libraries pretty easily to try it for yourself.


> It's not even an Alexa.

It's far smarter than Alexa. What do you mean?


Alexa is specifically designed to interact with services, whereas ChatGPT is a large language model which predicts the next lexical token(it's cool with me if you call industrial-grade autocomplete "smart", but some might hold the view that there's little intelligence in this process), rather than perform an API call itself.
