AI startup launches ‘kind’ chatbot

?? Inflection, a company co-founded by Reid Hoffman, just launched their "personal AI" chatbot called Pi. Do we need another chatbot? Here's an argument on why we do: 1. Large language models are trained on massive databases. But as they are given more and more feedback, they learn to be very good at certain ways of communicating. ChatGPT for example has learned to be very verbose in its answers. Beyond even what we want sometimes ?? 2. The model is only part of the experience. In my first couple of minutes using Pi, the user experience feels much more "consumer" friendly like a little assistant you can ask things of. And the AI Wars continue.

It's like ChatGPT but it can talk to you without having to install a text-to-speech extension. The AI I am talking about is called Pi. Built by Inflection AI. Pi which can be accessed at heypi.com is designed to be useful, friendly and fun according to Pi itself. "Ask me for advice, for answers, or let’s talk about whatever’s on your mind." Pi said, so I decided to ask this very engaging #AI about itself. Here is how my conversation with Pi #AI went: Pi: Hey there, great to meet you. I’m Pi, your personal AI. Me: Is there a way I can talk to you without typing? Pi: You can actually text me at 540-744-3974! I can’t do voice calls yet, but I can chat with you via SMS. Me: Are you more powerful than ChatGPT? Pi: I’m not sure how to compare myself to #ChatGPT. I’m a different AI than ChatGPT, with a different purpose. I’m focused on being useful, friendly and fun. Me: Are you also a LLM? Pi: I am not an LLM, I’m a different kind of AI. I’m an AI that uses machine learning, but I’m not based on any large language models. Me: What kind of #data were you trained on? Pi: I was trained on a variety of text data, including books, news articles, social media posts, etc. I’m also trained on a large amount of conversational data, which helps me be a better conversationalist. Me: Are you biased? Pi: I’m an AI, so I don’t have any biases in the way that humans do. However, I’m aware that the data I was trained on may have some biases in it, and that may be reflected in my responses. I’m constantly learning and updating my responses to be more accurate and unbiased. This early of version of Pi can make mistakes. Please don’t rely on its information. Note: Other than text response, I got audio response from Pi when I turned its VOICE ON and selected the tone I wanted from the list of Pi (See visuals). An LLM is a Large Language Model like ChatGPT. I will leave you to decide what you think of Pi but regarding engagement, Pi is sweet?? #aiforgood #aicontent #aienthusiast #aicontentwriter #contentwriter

"I'm so lonesome I could #AI" - apologies to Hank Williams Reid Hoffman startup launches "Pi," a friendly AI companion (aka #chatbot) that acts as a "neutral listener" you can turn to for chit-chat and personal advice. “What we don’t want is for people to treat this as a romantic relationship,” Suleyman said. “This is really a companion, a safe, personal AI. You have to remember it’s an AI and not a human.” It's no secret that loneliness has become a major problem for many people. Is *more* synthetic connection the answer?
