Ask HN: What's your experience with GPT-Live been like?

GPT-Live isn't a particularly intelligent model. It needs to handoff for reasoning and more complex tasks.

You shouldn't expect it's responses to be as reliable as a frontier model. It will sometimes say odd things.

I use it to help with learning a language (French) and have been leaning into the CarPlay app. The model has done surprisingly well in conversations where it has to go back and forth across languages in the same response, and I like “talk to it while I’m driving” format a lot

I've had a few extended discussions on a bit of maths (Zeno's Paradox) as well as Andy Burnham, the new British prime minister, and it's been extremely informative.

I also found it extremely useful at refreshing my understanding of arbitrary science concepts in playful manner, while doing chores and errands, making food etc.

One surprising thing is that my AirPods Pro could obviously deliver my voice to it quite clearly, even with the hoover going! I've never tested them under those conditions and assumed it wouldn't work.

Nice, yea I think the AirPods Pro got some of the best noise cancelling out there
