I remember when the demos came out, people were doubting it. I read comments like "y'all are so gullible for believing this" and "I didn't know we were at this level" with responses like "we're not, it's just a demo."
Now it's in our hands. I showed my coworkers. What I saw was jaws hit the floor. "Is this prerecorded? How is it doing that? How is it funny and charismatic?" Then once the realization sets in that it's legit, the shock turns to fear in what we've created. It is extremely unsettling for the machine to have this much of a human presence, to understand what you say and conversational context so well. That it's the first machine that actually *feels* intelligent since we all got used to ChatGPT.
And this is the worst it's ever going to be. With higher inference speed chips, we can run voice models that are much larger with similar latency.
This is basically a wakeup call for people who have been told by some social media personalities that "AI is just predicting the next token, not actually intelligent." Something *does* feel somewhat intelligent and magical about it, and it's only getting better. I encourage anyone to show the people around you to start preparing them for what's actually coming.
