Well it was inevitable, smoosh Alan and ChatGPT together and what ya get?! A robot that can create code, make art and give you your favorite cocktail recipes. Lol.

Excellent smoosh Will. Have you taken 2 Alans yet and told them to talk to each other with a prompt that both of them can only answer questions with a question? The ping pong back and forth between them would get interesting.

Will, this is some stunning stuff. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the implementation of all this.

I got an excited call yesterday from a friend that has used a online voice cloning program to impersonate the Lost in Space robot's voice then used ChatGPT to talk to it. He wrote his own computer program that put the two together. While I was on the phone he asked it to tell me a story much like you had your robot do for you. It was chilling to hear this story being told by the beloved robot in the voice actor's voice that has been dead for many years. The voice rendered was so close to the original that it had me believing. He then had a conversation with it through a microphone.

It's going to be interesting to see where all this goes. The things it can do are a little scary and I know there's been a lot of talk about shutting it down.  I don't think that will be possible now. The genie is out of the bottle.

@ nink, not yet..i was thinking about doing it alan and alena as I've done 2 alans on a previous video with the pandora chat bot.

@dave, yes!!  I cloned the voice of the actor who did the voice of Robby...its pretty darn close. I fed it all the lines of Robby from Forbidden Planet, and it produced a copy.  This tech is growing so fast and I've been keeping up with it. Won't be long where we won;t need to code anything...just load up a learning model and teach robots how to walk and talk, how to pick up something and place it somehwere. A learning model for robots will be here sooner rather than later....this stuff usually had exponential  growth.

@Will, the coding stuff blows my mind. I can't understand how ChatGpt can write complex custom scripts. For example, I'm currently trying to rewrite most of my B9 scripts I wrote over the years in EZ Script over to JavaScript. These include a lot of timing sensitive automation scripts for the variously parts of my B9 robot. I don't know JS but am learning slowly. The script I'm working on now moves the arms out of the torso and once it's out checks that the arm is actually out so it's safe for the arm servos to start moving. It's very time sensitive because I don't want the arm servos to start moving before the arm is clear of the torso and also I want them to start moving as soon as the payload is delivered. After one of my various script rewrites yesterday I started up the script and one arm went out, the other one stayed in place and all the servos in both arms started running. Ugh. I have no confidence that ChatGpt could write this script. I wouldn't even know how to start to describe it to the program. Maybe I'm wrong. A part of me hopes it can't. I did say it's scary and I can't wrap my mind around it.

...Yeah there are alot of variables and moving parts in your use case...describing to GPT what is happening, what is supposed to move to what position, how to set the max and mins per servo, what pins, how fast to move to get there...it would be alot for the current GPT ( in my video I show off GPT3, but 4 is out just cost $20 bucks a month and I haven't subscribed yet ) I hear its even better at coding, but again the coding is only as good as all the details about the project you can tell it and that would be alot. Impossible, no, time consuming and frustrating to get there a big Yes.

Example: on the prompt for Alan to create the artwork, I had to give chat GPT an example (in several paragraphs) How MidJourney works and everything that must be included in the prompt to create a successful piece of art work. Once it understood the proper syntax, it could then generate the proper prompt to be plugged into MidJourney.

What alot of people don't understand is that the model is trained from the internet data..upto 2021. If you look it says it cannot answer questions after 2021 because its not trained....and that GPT is NOT connected to the internet...so it can't go look for the answers online for you, only on data its trained on.

What I've been dreaming about for years, is the ability to using motion capture and applying it to a robot.  Now you can use that data and deep learning to create models that will allow robots to learn how to perform task I.E walk and move. This 60 min segment on Chatbots and AI is fascinating to see the potential for development. But if you skip ahead to 15:20 you can see an example of robots trained to play soccer. I am so excited for this development. Been waiting a long time for this.
