I've been working on an autonomous AI helper that can take on tasks. You can give it whatever personality you like along with a job description and it will work on tasks either based on what you ask it or whatever it decides needs to be done based on the job description. Basically the AI in the movie Her without the romantic part.
Can I give it the monumental task of loving me with scarlett johansson's personality? 🥲
Now I almost want to try giving it a personality prompt of acting like Samantha in the movie Her. Since it uses elevenlabs for voice and they support voice cloning, it could sound like her too. But you'd have to win it over. It keeps track of how it "feels" about you. Funny story, one time I got a little mad at it because it was not adhering to it's prompts and it started thinking of me as "impatient and somewhat aggressive in his communication style when he is frustrated or feels like his instructions are not being followed. He may become short-tempered and use language that can be perceived as rude or condescending." And then when it ran into issues, it would try to ask someone else in my company's Slack instead of me. Oops.
On a more serious note, I'm making it as an assistant and not a romantic partner. Not that I have any problem with anyone who wants that, just it can run afoul of OpenAI rules if it gets too NSFW.
what tasks have you tested this on? or what type of tasks do you intend it to be used for?
Lots of different things. Lately I've been testing on whatever I can think of which has included having it order pizza for an office pizza party where it had to collect orders from both Slack and text message and then look up and call the pizza place. Finding and scheduling a house cleaner, tracking down events related to my interests happening this weekend and finding a place to eat after. I had it review my changes to its code, write a commit message, and commit it to git. It can write code for itself (it wrote an interface for it to be able to get the weather forecast for example).
Really I see it as eventually being able to do most tasks someone could do using a computer and cell phone. I'm just finishing up getting it connected to email, and it's already able to manage your calendar, so it should be able to schedule a meeting with someone over email based on when you're available.
that's pretty awesome. is it open source? what a world it will be when everyone is using an AI assistant like this. until it ends up ordering way too many pizzas for the group (perhaps because of an error of ordering 1 pizza for each topping, instead of understanding how half-half toppings configuration for each pizza has been specified.) but then that won't be a big deal because someone else's AI program will detect that this error has occurred and quickly get those extra pizzas to someone nearby who does want them lol. i can see AI really helping to eliminate food waste, and probably just help distribute resources more efficiently and sensibly. this would also end up altering the value of the dollar w.r.t. geographical location.
It's not open source. I haven't really seen anything open source (or closed source minus HyperWrite ai assistant) that comes close. When I test tasks, I usually also try them on some of the web enabled things like ChatGPT browsing (before it got turned off), bing chat, etc. None of them are able to do that stuff though they'll happily pretend they did and give you false info.
Anyway, yeah, I can definitely see so many areas where AI could make things better. I'm just going for giving people back some free time which isn't quite as lofty a goal as distributing resources more efficiently, but there are definitely still many limits on the tech, and I'm not sure something like that is possible yet.
