IMO it's only a matter of time before someone hooks up a LLM to a speech-to-text recognizer with a TTS engine like something from ElevenLabs, and you have a full blown "AI" that you can converse with.

Once someone builds a LLM that can remember facts tied to your account this thing is going to go off the rails.

If you're familiar with vtubers (streamers who use anime style avatars), there are actually now AI vtubers. Interaction with chat is indeed pretty funny.

Here's a clip of human vtuber (Fauna) trying to imitate the AI vtuber (Neuro-sama): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxsZlBryHJk

And neuro-sama's channel (currently live): https://www.twitch.tv/vedal987

Funny you mention that… I have done exactly this. Including using ElevenLabs for TTS. And also teaching it “facts” about me / calendar for the day in a hidden prompt when launching a conversation. It works pretty well.

I like ChatGPT talks too much and would be annoying for this purpose.

this is absolutely me anthropomorphizing them, but i found it quite funny how stiff chat gpt sounds compared to the (at times) completely deranged bing chat. its allmost like they have personalitys
