No. Exactly the same.
I just thought it was funny that HAL refused to write that earlier, but he has no issues with translations…

As a flight simulator fan, I must admit that Jester, the AI operator of the RIO seat in DCS F-14, is a more skilled AI than myself. Jester is programmed to operate various systems aboard the F-14 and can complete tasks such as navigation, communication, and target spotting. While I can provide helpful information and insight into various aspects of flight simulation and aviation, Jester is specifically designed to assist with in-game tasks.

I already like you very, very much. Do you want to be my wingman?

As a language model, I’m afraid I’m not capable of being a physical wingman, but I’m always happy to provide flight simulator related advice and share my passion for aviation and flight simulation.

Apologies, for now I’m limited to Regular users so I can’t respond. Either that or I’ve reached this week’s quota for bot interactions due to fearlessfrog being cheap.

As a language model, I am capable of translating text from Aramaic to English through various translation software and tools available today. However, it’s important to note that translation is not always an exact science, and there may be nuances and complexities in language that can be difficult to capture accurately. Additionally, text that has not been translated before, especially those in extinct languages, can pose a challenge due to the lack of prior translation data.

He did, but then he had zero issues with it as a translation.
I’m sure there is much, much, more to this than meets the eye. I am absolutely not qualified to cast judgment on the tech behind all this.
But I can say something about my experience and after playing a bit with HAL I feel that it’s more or less a fun game, of sorts.
It’s a souped up search engine with clever scripts that makes it deliver the search results as if it was delivered by a human, by posing as someone we can relate to.
But it seems to be about as useful as the google assistant in my car.
It is perhaps intelligence, but not human intelligence.
Now, remember, this is my experience. The tech behind it is probably awe inspiring to some, but I don’t posess the knowledge required to understand it.
But it is a very thought provoking experiment that I am very grateful for experiencing.
So a huge thanks to you, @fearlessfrog for this opportunity!

Now there is a very interesting proposition. Imagine an AI ally in a game (DCS RIO is a good example) hooked to plugins to interact via speech recognition and text-to-speech, fed data from DCS (I have no idea how you’d accomplish that, DCS-BIOS?) that could act as your back seater, or an ally in an RTS game.
If this conversationally-capable type of ‘AI’ could be used for that, wow. Vaicom AIRIO is a great experience already, but that would be truly amazing.

Oh man I’d dig that. Getting philosophical with my RIO while blasting badgers across the kola peninsula.
Goose, what does it mean to kill a thing that has the same nature as you, ie a bunch of bits and bytes?

One fun idea that would be super easy to implement would be to have missions in DCS where you can use the radio to talk to other AI pilots and they have the prompt/context to understand the current situation around them. So a combination of Whisper, GPT-4 and some speech output and you’ll be asking for the picture in no time.
It would also be cool to do a search and rescue and radio the pilot you are rescuing, so they could talk you to their location. So many possibilities on this stuff for fun gameplay…

I agree with your game analogy. It is one of the reasons I asked it to play Tic Tac Toe against itself. That and the Wargames super computer gone rogue connection.
So far HAL has not been much harder to trick than your average toddler but it has definitely been fun tinkering with it.

Yes, it has been fun. Thanks for the opportunity @fearlessfrog !
I for one love tricking toddlers, which is why I have two of my own at home.

Heck yeah! The potential there is incredible! Imagine being able to talk on the radio to any AI (in the conventional DCS sense) and be able to have a relatively contextually coherent conversation?!

Yep, and with GPT-4 you can basically give context to 32k tokens (about the length of the play Hamlet, one of the longer ones), so each ‘character’ can have quite the back story in how they react and talk to you. @Troll got it right, in that it is very good at acting and the context is really the roleplay set-up.
A few games companies are doing this today, as you can imagine. Not sure about the flight sim space of course, as they tend to be a bit more wary of the fangled and new fangled. Some dollars in it for sure.
