It's so capable at some things, and others are garbage.
I uploaded a photo of some words for a spelling bee and asked it to quiz my kid on the words. The first word it asked, wasn't on the list. After multiple attempts to get it to start asking only the words in the uploaded pic, it did, and then would get the spellings wrong in the Q&A. I gave up.
Will you offer this without a subscription fee?
I like it but for this it should just be a small voice model running on device, not cloud - especially given you don't use APIs.
I think you'll get a lot of adoption if it doesn't have a subscription or cloud requirement.
I can also guarantee you points 2 & 3 are pretty wrong as well. Funny (and also sad) how different peoples realities can be. I have been worn out sitting on both sides of the table to tell you the truth. (One thing I will say is that within VC, the vast majority of the folks actually doing the work are sympathetic and helpful to companies, working with early/senior employees, but it gets lost up the food chain so to speak and there's usually just one or two people making decisions at the end of the day about a particular deal or a whole portfolio- and these people are generally very self-interested.)
On one hand, some of these results are impressive; on the other, the illegal moves count is alarming - it suggests no reasoning ability as there should never be an illegal move? I mean, how could a violation of a fairly basic game (from a rules perspective) be acceptable in assigning any 'outcome' to a model other than failure?
For what it's worth, thats not accurate - a spectrograph was used in 1995 to discover the first exoplanet by Mayor and Queloz, and they received a Nobel prize for this. So GPT is right. One can be pedantic and say that not an "image" but most would disagree.
Here's the thing... so many jobs are bullshit. So many things people are paid to write, presentations made, etc. are bullshit. I'm not judging the bullshit per se. There's good bullshit and bad, necessary bullshit and not. But yeah, when you accept this reality, AI is sort of perfect for the bullshit that exists in our lives.
I don't get the Saab obsession. I can't speak to anything mechanical about them, but I've seen plenty and they look like many others on the road at that time. Like, what exactly is so aesthetically interesting? a different grille design? You could make the argument about many older cars - like the Nissan Fairlady/Z - but not really the Saab.
This is a huge pain point for so many companies! I haven't seen a solution that does this well until now.
And not limited to customer support - think about partnerships and sales (while perhaps a smaller opportunity).... shared Slack channels can be such a pain.
Anyways. Andrei and team are really smart, great people. Very exciting!
Off topic from the comment you replied to, but could you explain how Pixie is different from something like Crossplane? For some reason in my head that was the first comparison I made.
Your blog post does hit on a major pain point for private cloud/on-prem deployments which is management & troubleshooting post-deployment. I'm looking for the best solutions for this problem so always like to hear what people recommend.
