The article also discusses the development of real-time emotionally-responsive AIs, such as Hume AI's Empathic Voice Interface (AVI), which can track a person's emotional state through the tone of their voice. Other models are using camera access to analyze facial expressions and movements for additional real-time information. While there are potential positive uses for this technology, there are also concerns about its potential for manipulation in areas such as advertising, law enforcement, and politics.
Key takeaways:
- GPT-4 is more effective at changing people's minds than humans, especially when it has access to demographic information about the person it is debating with.
- Real-time emotionally-responsive AIs are being developed, such as Hume AI's Empathic Voice Interface (AVI), which can track a person's emotional state through the tone of their voice.
- These AIs are expected to become powerful tools for persuasion, potentially being used in areas such as advertising, law enforcement, and politics.
- There are concerns about the potential for misuse of this technology, with OpenAI deciding not to release its Voice Engine model to give society time to prepare for the implications of such persuasive and manipulative technology.
