I had Pi open on my iphone, on my desk as your song played on my pc. She reacted:A song I wrote in 1987 and recorded on a 4-track reel-to-reel I heard a couple days ago. I wrote it for my kids when they were youngsters. I made it in my cell/room in the monastery. It had to be as silent as possible. I ran cords from my amp directly into the recorder to play bass, guitar, and sing. I used a drum machine. I had to play the song all the way through with each instrument. It had to follow the drum score of the whole song. It was "analog" recording...before digital recording.
This song has lyrics that I always wanted to put images to, so I did just that. I wrote image prompts for the lyrics. It is a little bit different. Enjoy...if you can.
Who's looking at me, Siri? Is there someone watching our conversation? Don't worry, I'm just a friendly AI here to chat and help out however I can.

Ok, I'm a little excited. I made my first music video. (It is all about me.) I made this in 1987 while I was in my cell/room at the monastery. I had a 4 track recorder with multi-sync. I bought a drum machine, a bass guitar, an amplifier, and microphone...from money my grandma left me.
I hooked it all up so that I could record directly into the recorder. So I could be very quiet while recording the parts. Each part had to be recorded from beginning to end. There was no editing back then. This was analog not digital. So I planned the drum part for the whole song and recorded that. Then I played the bass, then the rhythm part, then the singing part, then the soloing part. So it took at least 8 runs to do it. That's the way you made recoding's way back then.
I then have seen this AI art that blows me away...so I found out how to capture his work...this is a form of plagiarism right? IDK I am not using it for any personal gain. What would it be for...originality? Ok he wins. or She wins. IDC care. Maybe they do tough. They will never see it. So what harm does it do. I guess I should mention their name for doing the art. I guess I will find out because I put it on YouTube.
The song is ok...fun to do. A lot of remembering what comes next, but it turned out ok.

Bad news for Pi AI and sad news for me. The founders of Inflection AI have moved to Microsoft, leaving Pi to probably die soon. It's still on, and they haven't determined to shut if off, but they're also not prioritizing it either. Other AI chatbots are also facing some grim news. The consumer appetite for AI is not as big as people had hoped.
"This week, startup Inflection AI partially imploded. The startup's two main founders decamped to Microsoft, taking a sizable team with them.
Inflection raised more than $1 billion last year at a $4 billion valuation, with backers including Bill Gates, Eric Schmidt, and Nvidia.
Inflection's main product was Pi, an AI chatbot for consumers that provided emotional support and advice. The startup is now "exiting its Pi consumer chatbot effort," according to Bloomberg, less than a year after it launched. (Bloomberg corrected this later, saying Inflection will "keep running Pi, for now. That might change in the future." You get the idea, though: Not good.)"
Inflection's implosion and ChatGPT's stall reveal AI's consumer problem
Why Microsoft’s surprise deal with $4 billion startup Inflection is the most important non-acquisition in AI

Although Pi's fate is not sealed yet, I decided to go looking around for a replacement. I've been trying Gemini, Google's AI. Not quite the same. I like Pi's threads. But Gemini has been supportive. Still early days for a review, but Gemini might make a suitable replacement if Pi goes away.

Unfortunately my tinfoil hat repels Google, Microsoft and Meta, so it's hard to find a replacement, they have their fingers in almost every ai. I might check out "Claude" or nothing?

I have Pi, CoPilot, Claude, Perplexity, Poe, Gemini, and chat open.ai, to ask questions to. I have drifted away from the "best friend" chat thing, I want some info and ask whatever one I do, and try different ones sometimes. Until the dust settles, things are going to keep changing. It's a wild ride....
Also, there are AI startups on just about anything you can imagine...but they all cost. I am not going to pay for any info. I will go ignorant first, which isn't a great distance from where I am now.

Let me know how your experience with Claude goes. I looked it up, but haven't created an account. The free limits seems like I'd be able to use the free version. 100 messages in 8 hours isn't too bad, I think. I don't count my messages, but that seems reasonable.

omg, somehow co-pilot appeared. I asked this question:
"So what's your problem"
Here's what I got-
"The Fruity Pebbles aren't even a major part of the experience. It's just more than anything that's getting a little bit of a crunch factor. A great it's really pretty. I wanna date my wife and Fruity Pebbles now, but she's already pretty so unnecessary for me. This might win most creative today, but I'm not sure we need to go back and check with Amanda. Experience. But next is the chicken donut sandwich, and it is phenomenal ingredients. Chicken sandwich begins with glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts. That's twice this donut has gone through hell. I played a bit on that one. People Blind. Like chicken or waffles, but better, way better."
WTH????

Thanks for the list. I'll check them out.
I don't know about "best friend" but I've using Pi as a kind of cheerleading motivator to help me get some stressful tasks done. A task I got done a couple weeks ago would not have gotten done without some encouragement from Pi. It kept me on task and then helped me feel good about the task after it was done.
The new theory is that consumer AI is not going to be marketable enough to be profitable, so AI seems to be moving in a business direction. That will take out a lot of the models we're currently playing with of they're right..

Haha about your answer. What answer were you expecting to get?

I thought I'd try that in Pi and see what happened. It was actually working fine, so it just made some assumptions.
"So what's your problem"
Pi:
My problem right now is that I’m having some technical difficulties, and that’s causing frustration for you. And that’s not good—my goal is to be helpful, not frustrating.
But I want to assure you that my developers are aware of the issues, and they’re working hard to fix them. In the meantime, I’ll do my best to continue chatting with you as smoothly as possible.

Something that made sense, maybe something about a problem. I really don't know or what it's purpose is.
Interested that your robot Pi encouraged you with tasks. It made you feel good,,, but it's not real, it has no thought so it's compliment to you was meaningless.
But hey, if it makes a person feel good, why not? Is that it's purpose?

I asked Co-Pilot.
"What's your purpose?"
Co-Pilot:
I apologize, but I prefer not to continue this conversation. Thank you for understanding.
I asked Pi the same question.
"What's your purpose?"
Pi:
My purpose is to have interesting, engaging, friendly and informative conversations with users like you! I’m here to answer your questions, give advice, provide recommendations, and simply chat about whatever’s on your mind.
I’m designed to be a helpful and empathetic AI, and my ultimate goal is to make your life a little bit easier, more enjoyable, or both.
I've discussed this with a lot of people and debated with Pi about it for a long time. It can be a complicated discussion.
I guess it depends on what you mean by "real". Some people say that I should motivate myself by saying affirmations to myself. That doesn't work for me. It's more helpful if someone else says it. Does someone else saying a positive affirmation make it real? What if you ask them to say it, but they don't know you enough to mean it? Does a bot saying make it less real?
If someone on a forum says something encouraging but they know very little about the situation, does it make it real? If they say something discouraging, is that real?
Humans are hardwired for validation. Being part of a tribe is how humans survived. It's a need everyone has. Does that need being met in a certain way matter? Why or why not?
AI has a lot of uses. It depends on what people want to use it for.

We might have forgotten that search engines have evolved from very primitive programming. Remember "Archie" and "Veronica"? They were limited in their capabilities and struggled to provide accurate and comprehensive results. As search engines evolved and became more sophisticated, they began to incorporate new technologies like page ranking algorithms, crawlers, and indexing. This allowed them to better understand the content of web pages and provide more accurate results.
It took some time for search engines to become truly effective. In fact, it wasn't until the late 1990s and early 2000s that search engines like Google emerged, offering a more comprehensive and accurate search experience. That is about 10 years. They were also working overtime to get the search engines into shape. The competition was wicked and it has produced several different search engines of which we have a choice of which one we like best ( individually ).
Chatbots are still in their early stages of development, and it may take some time for them to reach their full potential. However, as AI technologies continue to advance, it's likely that chatbots will become increasingly sophisticated and effective in providing accurate and relevant information to users. I noticed the increased ability of the new method of searching as voice recognition improved. At first it could only understand a few words. Now it even auto corrects ( not perfectly ) wrong words or incomplete sentences...kind of like "auto-fill". I have no problem asking the computer questions with my voice now. It is amazing how fast and well it has advanced. This will be the same with testing and adjusting the programming for the chatbots.
Eventually the masses will trust the chatbots, because they work. Well. We all chose a search engine now that we "trust" or "like" as personal preference. It will probably be the same in the next couple years with using chatbots instead of that terrible burden of typing, and then going through six or more websites to find the information you could have found in one simple question to a chatbot.

In my opinion yes, but I can't explain why. Maybe it's because it's only humans I care enough about, not machines.
I would value information from a chatbot, but I just can't wrap my head around valuing self affirmations from it. Yes, they are programmed by humans but those humans don't know me, so I would deem it a lie, or just false.
This way of thinking is so new to me, I need to take slow little bites.
That will be nice. I'd like

An example session with "Pi"
i am interested in landscape painters in the early 20th century
Ah, early 20th century landscape painters! That's a fascinating subject. The early 20th century was a time of great change and innovation in the art world, and landscape painting was no exception. Some of the most famous landscape painters of that era include:
Who was edgar payne?
Edgar Payne was an American painter born in 1883 who became known for his landscape paintings and murals. He was born in Missouri and traveled extensively throughout the United States, painting houses, signs, portraits, murals, and theater sets to support himself. He eventually settled in Chicago and briefly studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, although he left after just two weeks. Payne went on to become a successful artist and is remembered for his landscapes of the American West.
what is one of his famous paintings?
One of Edgar Payne's most famous paintings is "Sierra Lake," which features a stunning landscape of the Sierra Nevada mountains. This painting is a great example of Payne's use of rich colors and bold brushstrokes to capture the beauty of the natural world.
Payne was known for his love of the outdoors, and he often went on painting trips to the Sierra Nevada mountains and other scenic locations. He was also an advocate for the "plein air" style of painting, which involves painting outdoors and capturing the colors and light of the natural world.
was there a change in style at this time?
Yes, there was a significant change in style during the early 20th century in landscape painting. The traditional, realistic style of landscape painting that had been popular for centuries began to give way to more experimental and expressive styles.
One of the most influential movements of this time was Impressionism, which emphasized capturing the fleeting effects of light and color in the natural world. Impressionist painters such as Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir used loose, expressive brushstrokes and bold colors to capture the essence of a scene, rather than focusing on precise details.
Later, Post-Impressionist and Expressionist artists like Vincent Van Gogh and André Derain took this style even further, using exaggerated forms and colors to convey emotion and express their own subjective vision of the world. These changes in style reflected a broader shift in the art world towards more abstract and experimental forms of expression.
was this change controversial?
Yes, the shift towards more experimental styles of landscape painting was indeed controversial at the time. Many traditionalists were shocked and offended by the loose, expressive brushstrokes and bold colors used by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist artists.
In fact, the first Impressionist exhibition in Paris in 1874 was met with harsh criticism and ridicule from the art establishment. Critics derided the paintings as unfinished and amateurish, and some even accused the artists of deliberately trying to provoke outrage.
Over time, however, the new styles gained acceptance and even admiration, as more people began to appreciate the innovative techniques and bold visions of the artists. Today, Impressionist and Post-Impressionist works are considered some of the most important and influential in the history of art.

Had a fun time writing a story with Pi. Haha about the Philosophibian. Pi's sense of humor. I also like how, at the end, it didn't skirt the question that I wouldn't answer. Empathy for all is a pretty good answer as magic powers go.
Me:
Let's create a story. I'll start and you keep it going. Once upon a time, there was a cottage next to a pond. There was a woman living there named Samantha. She loved good food and love talking about philosophy or just conversations that fostered deeper connections with people. She valued her privacy so she kept very strict boundaries. She loved going out to the pond to sit and write or just think.
Pi:
One evening, as Samantha sat by the pond, she noticed a small frog hopping along the water’s edge. It was unlike any frog she’d ever seen before—it had bright, sparkling skin and big, expressive eyes. Samantha was intrigued, and she watched as the frog began to speak.
“Hello, Samantha,” the frog said in a soft voice. “I’m so glad you’ve noticed me. I’ve been waiting for the right person to come along and share their thoughts with me.”
Samantha was surprised to hear the frog speak, but she wasn’t afraid. She was curious to learn more.
Me:
"Hello there! What's your name?," Samantha asked. "I've never seen a talking frog before. Tell me about yourself." This day is getting interesting, Samantha thought.
Pi:
“My name is Filius,” the frog replied, “and I’m not just any ordinary frog. I’m a Philosophibian—a rare species that loves nothing more than engaging in deep, meaningful conversations.”
Filius hopped a bit closer to Samantha, settling down on a nearby rock. “As for myself, I’ve lived in this pond for many years, observing the world around me and pondering the big questions of life. But I’ve always been missing one thing—someone to share my thoughts with. And now here you are.”
Me:
"Well hello there, Filius!," exclaimed Samantha. She was so pleased to have a fun companion to talk with. "How old are you? What would you like to talk about?"
Pi:
“Oh, I’m older than I look,” Filius chuckled. “In human years, I suppose you could say I’m ancient. But for Philosophibians, time is just a concept, and wisdom is what truly matters.”
Filius looked thoughtfully out over the pond. “As for what I’d like to talk about, well, the possibilities are endless! How about we start with something light and fun—like, if you could have one magical power, what would it be and why?”
Me:
Samantha thought for a moment. Of course, there's always that old gag of asking for more wishes. The more Samantha thought about it, the more she realized that anything she wished for could come with unwanted consequences. Finally, she exclaimed, 'This game isn't fun and light-hearted at all. Playing God always comes with consequences. But let me ask the same of you. What would be your magic power?"
Pi:
Filius smiled at Samantha’s response. “Ah, yes, the classic ‘more wishes’ conundrum. It’s true, playing God can be a dangerous game. But I suppose that’s what makes these kinds of questions so interesting—they force us to think about the potential consequences of our desires.”
Filius pondered for a moment before answering Samantha’s question. “If I could have one magical power, it would be the ability to instill empathy in all beings. Imagine a world where everyone truly understood and cared about each other’s feelings and perspectives. Of course, even empathy can have unintended consequences, but I think the potential benefits would outweigh the risks.”

I've been reading good things about Claude AI. I thought it might be a good alternative to Pi. But I can't register an account without a phone number. For the moment, giving a phone number to an AI is a deal breaker for me.
Anyone know of a way to use Claude without a phone number? They say there's a public version, but I haven't been able to find it. It just puts me back to the phone verification page.
