Developer combines GPT-3 and Siri for the ultimate AI Assistant experience

A developer has created a demo that shows their try at enhancing Apple’s Siri voice assistant by integrating it with a robust AI language mannequin —  GPT-3. GPT-3 is a language mannequin made by OpenAI, which additionally made ChatGPT primarily based on GPT-3.5.

In a video shared on Reddit and noticed by The Verge, developer Mate Marschalko confirmed off the assistant in motion by controlling his good house units and responding to comparatively obscure prompts that common voice assistants like Siri and Alexa would usually battle to know. For instance, initially of the video, Marschalko says, “Simply seen that I’m recording this video in the dead of night within the workplace. Are you able to do one thing about it?” The GPT-3-powered assistant replies with, “Turning on the lights for you.”

“I may also help you with duties associated to controlling lights, thermostats, towel rails, underfloor heating and air flow in your house. I may also show you how to with parenting, free time, psychological well being and extra,” stated the assistant when requested what it will probably do.

Additional, when advised to set the bed room temperature at no matter it thinks would assist Marschalko sleep higher, the assistant set the bed room thermostat to 19 levels Celsius, which occurs to be the best sleeping temperature for adults.

Marschalko has set the assistant up by way of the Shortcuts app on the iPhone, as revealed in a separate Medium post. A voice command to Siri causes Shortcuts to ship a immediate to the GPT-3 AI service, which then responds in a machine-readable format. Shortcuts then parse the response to manage good house units and/or reply by way of Siri.

“I used to be capable of obtain all this by merely asking GPT-3 in my immediate to fake to be my house assistant, listed the objects in my house, a couple of different particulars about time and placement, after which requested it to reply in a structured, categorised information format (JSON) which I might then use to set off the management messages in HomeKit in a collection of if..else statements in a single Siri Shortcut,” wrote Marschalko.

Though the demo is intriguing, it’s not excellent. Marschalko states that every command prices $0.014 per API request despatched to GPT-3, and the video is edited, so it’s unclear if the demo works one hundred pc of the time, or if Marschalko is displaying beneficial responses. No matter is likely to be the case, the demo presents fascinating hints of what voice assistant interactions is likely to be attainable if firms like Apple, Amazon, and Google combine this know-how into their companies.
