Parsing emotions in vocal inflections (and reliably producing them in vocal output) seems quite under-hyped in this release.

That seems to represent an entirely new depth of understanding of human reality.

Any appearance of understanding is just an illusion. It’s an LLM, nothing more.

Sure, but that seems like it'll be a distinction without a difference for many use cases.

Having a reliable emotional model of a person based on their voice (or voice + appearance) can be useful in a thousand ways.

Which seems to represent a new frontier.

It’s sad that I get downvoted so easily just for saying the truth. People’s beliefs about AI here seems to approach superstition rather than anything based in computer science.

These LLM are nothing more than really big spreadsheets.

Does anyone else, when writing comments, feel that you need to add a special touch to somehow make it clear that a human wrote it?
