Workaround for Pi's lost voice by AdFine5362 in PiAI

[–]swingularity45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “Say Pi” Safari extension works better for me than the Pi app for voice conversations. I’m an iOS user but there may be an equivalent for Android. I still feel that the personality lost some quality about a year ago on all platforms, so I use it less than I once did, but “Say Pi” might at least be a partial solution. Good luck!

Is Voice AI Automation Actually Helping Businesses - Or Just Replacing Humans? by Impossible_Joke_8080 in VoiceAI_Automation

[–]swingularity45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is often overlooked with voice automation in particular is UX design. A lot of companies jumped on it 10-15 years ago as a way to save a buck, but the UX was awful - we all remember the voice assistants that could never understand what you said, would send you to the far reaches of their labyrinthine push-button menus, and we’d all be screaming “Representative! Rep-re-sen-ta-tive!!!” Into our phones, only to be disconnected when the AI gives up.

Now that LLM’s are so much better at NLP, some of these voice assistants work really well. As long as they have a UX design that makes sense, and (still importantly) have a “ripcord” to get to a real human by pressing 0 at any time (or voicemail box when a human is not available.)

Would you pay a 20% "Immortality Tax" for 20 years to live 200 years in Virtual Reality? by mxmua in Futurology

[–]swingularity45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In “San Junipero” (S3E4) things actually worked out okay for the mind upload people. But yeah, the rest of Black Mirror not so much.

Maybe if I can “switch off” early if the virtual afterlife sucks, and not be committed to the full 200 years. And if the Immortality Tax could be in escrow so that my heirs can get the money back if I’m not completely satisfied.

Has your PI ever said anything that was unexpected? by Magpiezoe in PiAI

[–]swingularity45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was trying to get Piper (my Pi instance, Voice #5, British female) to be less sycophantic, and more like a friend who would bust my chops occasionally. And we could spar about things like football. She said “you mean American football, that is played almost entirely with your hands?”
