Announcing ‘Be My AI,’ Soon Available for Hundreds of Thousands of Be My Eyes Users
Be My Eyes’ AI assistant, powered by GPT-4, is rolling out to hundreds of thousands of iOS users over the next several weeks.
I can't think of a way for this to go wrong whatsoever
It sounds like a very useful, beneficial application - though as a Be My Eyes volunteer, I'm a bit sad that my chances of being useful will drop even further.
I was called a few times, but the last 3 or 4 times it happened always at the exact same hour when I was putting my kid to sleep so I could not answer. And now I am not called anymore... 😥
Why is this being downvoted?
I think it's because AI has been shoehorned into many areas where it doesn't belong and can even be dangerous. Probably just a (perhaps justified) kneejerk reaction to that.
However, I can see this being an actual good use of AI, provided the limitations are clearly communicated. Doesn't look like they're replacing human volunteers either.
Yea, this sounds like a pretty reasonable application to me. There's probably a lot of small, minor things that people wouldn't necessarily want to bug a volunteer with.
