- CamelCaseName 1y agoHundreds of billions on the line, really can't risk anything
- mhh__ 1y agothis is just the way that american middle and upper classes are going. This kind of language/vibe is the default outside of a specific type of WASP IME at least.
- diggan 1y agoNot even 10 seconds after I started watching the stream, someone said how much more human GPT-5 is, while the people sitting and talking about it don't seem human at all, and it's not an accent/language thing. Seems they're strictly following a dialogue script that is trying to make them seem "impromptu" but the acting isn't quite there for that :)
- Insanity 1y agoI don’t blame them, they aren’t actors. And yes, it’s clearly not impromptu, but I am trying to not let that take away from the message they are communicating. :)
- Bluestein 1y agoOne heck of a Turing test itself if I've ever seen one.-
- MattSayar 1y agoPresenting is hard
- AnimalMuppet 1y agoPresenting where you have to be exactly on the content with no deviation is hard. To do that without sounding like a robot is very hard. Presenting isn't that hard if you know your content thoroughly, and care about it. You just get up and talk about something that you care about, within a somewhat-structured outline. Presenting where customers and the financial press are watching and parsing every word, and any slip of the tongue can have real consequences? Yeah, um... find somebody else.
- HaZeust 1y agoOne woman who went through her calendar with GPT had good acting that the GPT reply helped her find impromptu information (an email she needed to answer), and someone staged GPT-5 to make a French-learning website lander - which butchered its own design in the second run; but that's all the good acting for a "candid presentation" that I could find.
- nilsherzig 1y agoIt created a webapp called „le chat“ hahah
- HaZeust 1y agoI laughed my ass off immediately after it gave that output, until the presenter made clear that it was a flash card for learning the words, "the cat" in French - and backed it up.

- jazzyjackson 1y agoI use LLMs to get answers to queries but I avoid having conversations with them because I'm aware we pick up idiosyncrasies and colloquialisms from everyone we interact with. People who spend all day talking to thier GPT-voice will adjust their speaking style to be more similar to the bot. I developed this paranoia upon learning about The Ape and the Child where they raised a chimp alongside a baby boy and found the human adapted to chimp behavior faster than the chimp adapted to human behavior. I fear the same with bots, we'll become more like them faster than they'll become like us. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/07/25/538580495/what-are-the-planet-s-real-talking-chimps-and-gorillas-saying https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/07/25/5385804...
- 0x457 1y agoIt gives me elementary school oral report. The same level of acting and script.
- wavemode 1y agoIt's because they have a script but are bad at acting. Would've been better to just do a traditional marketing video rather than this staged "panel" thing they're going for.
- christina97 1y agoIf the presenter is less human the LLM appears more human in comparison.
- polotics 1y agoat least no one is going for the infamous vocal fry :-D
- pyb 1y agoThey look nervous, messing this presentation up could cost them their high-paying jobs.
- motoxpro 1y agoThey are researchers, not professional presenters. I promise you if I told you to do a live demo, on stage, for 20 minutes, going back and forth between scripted and unscripted content, to an audience of at least 50 million people, that unless you do this a lot, you would do the same or worse. I know this because this is what I do for a living. I have seen 1000s of "normal" people be extremely awkward on stage. Much more so than this. It's super unfortunate that, becasue we live in the social media/youtube era, that everyone is expected to be this perfect person on camera, because why wouldn't they be? That's all they see. I am glad that they use normal people who act like themselves rather than them hiring actors or taking researchers away from what they love to do and tell them they need to become professional in-front-of-camera people because "we have the gpt-5 launch" That would be a nightmare. It's a group of scientists sharings their work with the world, but people just want "better marketing" :\
- mhh__ 1y agoWell yes I think part of the reason it's slightly unnerving is that this actually how they act irl. Sometimes people need a bit of edge to 'em!
- efilife 1y agoMaybe they are just nervous with half of the world looking at them?
- drexlspivey 1y agoBut why would you want to put researchers in a marketing video? It’s not like they are explaining something deep.
- motoxpro 1y agoIt's better marketing and more credible to have the researcher say "We think GPT 5 is the best model for developers, we used it extensively internally. Here let me give you an example..." than it is for Matthew McConaughey to say the same.

- greatwhitenorth 1y agoSteve Jobs is meant for moments like this. He would have explained everything crystal clear. Everyone else pales in comparison. I wish he is there to explain the current state of AI.
- bo-tao 1y agoCan't they use AI to make them more human?
- swader999 1y agoI like hearing from the people in the thick of it.
- guy_ross 1y agointeresting how they put this effort to making us feel physiologically well with everyone wearing blue shirts, open body language, etc. just to give off sterile robotic vibes. also noticed a dude reading off his hand at 45 minutes in, would think they brought in a few teleprompters.
