StardustReader (infinitythoughts) | 2662 comments I mean, people might loose their jobs, but new jobs will be created.

StardustReader (infinitythoughts) | 2662 comments Like when computers were introduced, people lost their jobs, and those same computers created jobs too

StardustReader (infinitythoughts) | 2662 comments This sounds really interesting and is going to help a lot of people
GPT-4's new capabilities power a 'virtual volunteer' for the visually impaired
Be My Eyes, an app that lets blind folks ask people to describe what they see, is getting a 'virtual volunteer' for AI-powered help any time.

have you tried using it?"


The Virtual Volunteer feature? no, not yet. It's still being tested with a few trusted testers, and isn't still available for everyone to try out.
But the app Be My Eyes has helped me a lot. Volunteers on there are really kind and helpful.


message 9268: by StardustReader (new)

StardustReader (infinitythoughts) | 2662 comments So, I asked GPT 3.5 to write a poem about the trilogy Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, and here's what it came up with

In a world of gods and myths so old,
Magnus Chase's story began to unfold,
A son of Frey, he was destined to be,
A hero for the gods, brave and free.
Through dangers and trials, he found his place,
With friends by his side, a formidable race,
Together they fought, against giants and foes,
To keep the Nine Worlds safe, from their many woes.
From the halls of Valhalla, to the depths of Hel,
Magnus fought with heart, and his courage did swell,
With each adventure, he grew in might,
And proved himself a warrior, of the highest light.
With swords and magic, he faced his fate,
Defeating evil, before it's too late,
The gods of Asgard, looked upon him with pride,
For Magnus Chase, was a hero to all, far and wide.
So let us raise a cheer, for this fearless clan,
For Magnus Chase and his merry band,
Their stories will live on, in the tales of old,
As heroes of Asgard, brave and bold.

Yep, it's an AI chatbot. It's just outputting whatever it scraped from the internet for the most part, so it's not that creative. At least this model.
If you wanna try ChatGPT 3.5, go to chat.openai.com

StardustReader (infinitythoughts) | 2662 comments Mango wrote: "and it actually goes with the context too that’s so cool"

Yep, because it has so much of data about the books that it scraped from the internet. Book reviews, news articles, fandom articles, and so much more. And ofc, it has read the books too

Yeah, so anyone can become a volunteer on that platform. You just need to install the Be My Eyes app, and signup as a volunteer.
And yes, who ever needs assistance will point their phone's camera at something and the volunteer will explain. I've used the app to know street signs, read the display on devices that don't have a screen reader, read printed documents, read user manuals, and used it in a lot of other situations where I needed help.
I use a screen reader on my phone as well. Android has a screen reader called Talkback built-in to the OS, and IOS (iPhones) have a built-in screen reader called VoiceOver.
Basically, you just tap on an item to know what it is, and double tap to activate that item.

That's alright :D

message 9281: by StardustReader (new)

StardustReader (infinitythoughts) | 2662 comments Just a random thought
Isn't it so weird that when ever you loose something, you start to understand the value of the thing that you lost?
I mean, we take so many things for granted

hm... ngl this has the same energy to me as understanding the beauty and value of happiness when, normally, life is just a void of worthless memories and societal expectations.
but yeh, the feeling's kinda weird sometimes, but "losing" things are just the way life moves along. you just have to choose whether you want to sink or swim :)
