This was a live demo from our OpenAI Spring Update event.

It's amazing how far we have come.

The italian accent is a bit off, but it would still be serviceable, I guess.
Pretty impressive

I think people born in the early 80s (now in my 40s) in India have seen a huge leap in tech - from nothing to craziness.

In my lifetime I went from:

9-inch floppy disks to SSD
Playing Pong, to old school Prince of Persia to now PS5
Computers with green font dot matrix displays, to the latest iMac
Heavy, rotary dial phones to Pixel 8
B/W tube TV sets to 8K OLEDs
Carrying cash to UPI (I haven't carried cash for a year now)
Nothing to the internet
Dial-up internet to fibre
And just when I thought what could be bigger than the internet for me, now I'm in the midst of the AI revolution (OpenAI and Gemini).

Crazy time to be alive.

One of the first things I used ChatGPT for was to have conversation in italian because talking to an AI gets through and over that hurdle of speaking another language and correcting mistakes. I've improved my Italian a lot. First thing I do in the morning is talk to AI in Italian as it wakes my brain up 🧠🇮🇹

I can finally visit Japan without worrying about language boundaries 🤩😍

[shewaentertainment]

thank you Open AI. I can't wait to use the new model.

[ilyass-alami]

Thank you very much open ai it free for everyone ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[deepthishenoy]

This launch update is crazyy!!! Cant wait what more should we expect from chatgpt-5

[uniqaesthetics]

Phenomenal! You did a great job on that! 👍🏼

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he'll eat for life." Can anyone teach me how to fish? gonna become jobless soon.

I have a good friend who owns a small, local translation company with over a dozen employees. He's not really worried because, while this is great for an ad-hoc meeting or traveler, it's not the same as real-time, ongoing translation services.

But damn- we're getting there fast.

[hassanyahya]

This is just more than amazing! Should we be worried 😮

[gruvhagen]

I have asked about this in another video but I'm still curious, will it be possible to configure ChatGPT to English accent instead of American? How many languages are supported? This is really exciting news!

[MGAa]

Well real time would be with no delay but damn this is also very impressive how smooth it went down….

If OpenAI wants to be taken seriously then it should demo live translation between Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic (considered the hardest languages by the Foreign Service Institute) in technical fields like finance, patents, legal or pharmaceutical. Conversational Italian-English with a difficult word thrown in isn’t impressive. Tech companies tend to almost always demonstrate such basic, low-hanging fruit type of translations and many are somehow mesmerized by this. This reflects one’s lack of self-confidence in believing they can reach a conversational level in a foreign language so any new piece of shiny tech mesmerizes them easily.

GPT-4o is amazing...🍷 Good Job OpenAI.

It’s late June 2024. Most of the incredible features in the demo for 4o are still not present in the phone app or the desktop app. I’ve used the paid version of 4o for over a month. This demo is a bait and switch. It is with great irony that this video ends with the line, “looks like it works!” The poor people in this video will now be associated with selling vapor ware
