I can call a coworker right now and have a real time conversation with them without feeling like I’m talking to a frustrating machine. Most of them, anyway. But I guess that’s “moving the goalposts”.

I feel like my odds are better with the AI than with random humans.

    Random humans don't have a significant cross section of human knowledge available in real-time, although many like to pretend they do, especially in internet comments :P Being able to compete with the capabilities of a median human would be an absolutely world changing achievement.

I think they're claiming it's achieved by text models, not voice models, fwiw.

These machines were designed with the express purpose of being condescendingly sycophant to the point they hallucinate just to state "you are absolutely right".

No wonder some people even find these chatbots to be wife material.

    In gemini I have the following personal context:

    - Do not stroke my ego

    - I never want to be complimented

    And it disagrees with me a lot, granted this is in the webchat which I don't use for programming but for general usage seems to work, it isn't sycophantic

I dunno, have you tried the voice chat in paid ChatGPT?

    Have you? It’s a dumb model that gets a lot wrong. Codex voice is IMO only good for when I cannot dictate into the good models. The delay introduced by letting it work with a good model kills it for me.
