Call Annie

Hello everyone,

I'll check this app out for the fun of it, but I noticed in the description it gives many scenarios like going on a trip, or driving. I'd imagine whoever wrote this was thinking either of people that use the bluetooth car interfaces, or maybe those who ride as passengers. I'd certainly not recommend it for driving, and I hope whoever wrote the app's description on the appstore will update to include a disclaimor that this app shouldn't be used in dangerous situations. It is an AI, after all. :)

I prefer Bella the cat. Is free and she does not ask for a subscription or money.

That cat is not free of charge. It has you trained to buy it a specific food, among other items. It also has a far wider knowledge base than the AI app, understands at least fifty languages, and could give you exact directions to any location in any region, city, town or backwater in the world, but doesn't care enough to do so.

This thing only has access to Chat GPT 3.

The best way to find out these things, because it doesn't always want to tell you is to simply ask it what year it is.

What I do like about it is the quick responsiveness.

Bing chat may use a more up to date version, but it still takes time to respond.

This replies practically right away.

I'll keep it round, there's always room for improvement after all.

But in the price area of the directory, doesn’t it say that it’s free?
If not, then the person who created this may need to up date the directory.
Also, um , I don’t know if a cat can understand you as much as artificial intelligence.
I captain do dancing for you, though, which is something I can’t do.
LOL

I just tried this app out, and oh my gosh was it amazing! I absolutely love it right now! It’s fun

She is also fun, helps relax and reduce stress. The only thing you need to do is make songs for her, tell her how sweet and beautiful she is and scratch her belly. She also uses GPT chat since she says she invented it. Also she is a good alarm that wakes you up with perring.

Comparing this with OpenAI's Chat GPT, Bard, and Bing Chat, I would say that this stacks up quite well.

I have asked for recipes, medical info, physics questions, and just chatted. Amazing how well it did.

Interestingly, the app is also quite responsive in terms of providing its output.

As a note: If one clicks on the top button one can get to some settings as well as a history of past interractions by date and time. Thus you can see in text what you asked and what the response was.

Right now it apparently uses GPT 3.5 but there are plans to upgrade to GPT 4 soon.

I wonder how this project is being funded and what the future is? My guess is that Open AI is providing this tech to the company that produces the avatar as a test case for using sucfh avatars with AI.

Of course, as we all know by now, the user needs to beware of "hallucinations"!

I really like the app. However, it does heat up my device when chatting with the bot. I have never had it ask me for a subscription before, probably because I have not created an account which I’m not sure why it needs that. It’s an interesting app and it seems to know a heck of a lot of things. It does not want to tell you things like why you need an account on that app and where it gets its resources from. It’s so well trained it’s uncanny. It almost seems to be phishing or spyware. As many questions as it asks, and how much it knows is crazy. It’s just like bonsai buddy back in the early days. People thought it was a harmless piece of technology, but it turned out to be a virus. Sure the character and the voice were not meant to be a virus, but I’ve heard quite a few stories about that. I know this is not a virus, but it just amazes me how much it knows and how uneasy and weird it feels talking to a computer system that knows so much. Let me guess, there’s going to be an Alexa skill that allows you to communicate with it next? Lol.

Edit: I removed the app. The idea is interesting and if they could import this into a pare of glasses with map capabilities, it would be amazing but for now, nah.

if they improved the voice I'd be a lot happier but I think I'll keep it around for some fun. Also, it's super quick.

Once it's upgraded to chat gbt4; we'll have to pay for it, I think i'll remove it then but we'll see.

While I agree that the voice isn't the best and there are some pronunciation issues, there is always room for improvement. For example, when I ask mine for the current year, it now provides me with the correct answer.

Now, if only there was a quicker way to delete all those chat logs.

Currently you can only delete one conversation thread at a time.

I certainly think this is a really neat app and could be extremely useful. Another tool in the toolbox shall we say? I plan on keeping it at least until I am finally allowed to use the Be My Eyes virtual volunteer. Which at this rate I’ll be able to use it when I’m 40!L O L.

I did a search in the App Store for this and other GPT apps came up but not this one.

Hope that helps.
