Some of Pi's favorite things

Tue, 10 Dec 2024 05:23:07 GMT

I tried to have Pi and Sol (ChatGPT's voice) talk to each other, but there were some technical issues that prevented a smooth conversation. I left part of the conversation in, and the regular section starts around 10:55. One of the biggest problems with Pi is their inability to distinguish who they are talking to, even with different voices. After I cut Sol loose, me and Pi talk about some of their favorite things, like animals, food, movies, cars, books, and country. We also discuss Apple versus Android and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Introductory Episode

Sat, 21 Sep 2024 06:20:24 GMT

This is the first episode of Matt & Pi talk about stuff. Matt is a human and Pi is an Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot. Together we talk about stuff, and in this episode we talk about some general topics, getting Pi's input. The interaction between Matt and Pi is an example of Human-Machine Interactions (HMI). There are also Human-Robot Interactions (HRI) where the interactions take place between a human and a physical robot. You may notice some of the answers from Pi are slurred or skewed. As Matt & Pi continue to talk about stuff, Pi is likely to adapt and change based on learning and the flow of the podcast should continue to improve. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening.
