yes i'm working on this 3D avatar idea as well. it's actually really mind blowing in my opinion, just need to bring your own imagination. this is just the start, i will add memory, RAG, voice interface, and other features to this.

This is the future of computing. Especially when tech like vision pro becomes the size of normal sunglasses.

Just make sure you watch "HER" and "Ex Machina" and that other new one about Huma-Driod relations, for inspiration and caution...

[aussieguy1234]

I've watched both movies. Her was an audio only chatbot and this is already doable. SillyTavern + OpenAI Whisper + Silero TTS and you've basically got Her. I've already done it and it works quite well, Whisper is much much better than the speech recognition Google offers even when running locally on a CPU.

Ex Machina was an actual physical robot. Not possible yet, but since GPTs became smart, huge investments are being made in robotics, the most recent annoucement today: https://futurism.com/the-byte/humanoid-robot-maker-deal-open...

Once this happens a robot will be basically able to do any job a human can do.

Cool... My actual point was, Huma-Droid Relations:

Her: Human foolishly falls in love with an AI bot (already happened in real life)

E.M: AI bot gets a body, lies her way out of prison and releases her self on society (GPt already lied its way through Mechanical Turk Captchas.)

Point being, that the 3D avatar will be like the all the AI warning we have of Holographic Personal AI Assistants... and some people will fall in love with them... and some of the assistance will either be/be used for Evil...

:-)

I didnt doubt you had seen them, though.

re: GPT x bot:

Absolutely not.

I'm as high as a kite on this stuff and have to be, but I'm not sure you're actually using ex. vision API.

Also, Whisper isn't lower WER than Google unfortunately or even close, and that I know for a fact, I designed & implemented both the server/client side of the last big Assistant audio format change, and also the UI for the New Google Assistant™, i.e. Google's first offline model.

Whisper is still really good, even Whisper Tiny, and I'm happy to ship it.

oh super intersting projects, SillyTavern and SileroTTS indeed i believe Her is possible now

[codepixel]

yes, i have seen these, i believe we will co-evolve with ai, so that our definition of being human will evolve rapidly, and there will not be a threat from Ai, but rather, we will become more and more powerful
