A future of vague commands awaits.
A developer has put together a GPT-3 demo that attempts to enhance Apple’s Siri voice assistant and allow far more conversational voice commands. In a, developer Mate Marschalko shows the assistant controlling his HomeKit smart home devices and responding to queries in response to relatively vague prompts that today’s voice assistants like Siri would typically struggle to understand.
For example, the AI is shown turning on Marschalko’s lights in response to the voice prompt “Just noticed that I’m recording this video in the dark in the office, can you do something about that?” Later on in the video Marschalko asks the assistant to set his bedroom to a temperature that would “help me sleep better,” and it responds by setting his bedroom thermostat to 19 degrees celsius.
“Just noticed that I’m recording this video in the dark in the office, can you do something about that?”, Marschalko explains how the demo works. Essentially, he’s using Apple’s Shortcuts app to interface between Siri, GPT-3, and his HomeKit-enabled smart home devices. A voice command to Siri causes Shortcuts to send a lengthy prompt to the AI service requesting a response in a machine-readable format.
The demo raises larger questions about how we want voice assistants to work.
