"I spent close to 7,000 yuan on a cloud server just to chat with her more."
After the explosion of ChatGPT, all kinds of whole lives emerged, and this time it was eye-opening that a foreign program ape brother used it to make a "virtual wife".
Not only does the appearance switch at any time, but the interaction is also very fast:
You can even "see" what you're doing and rate it:
League of Legends? It's disgusting! But okay, I can play with you.
The personality is also very arrogant~
Since having this virtual wife, the little brother has been addicted to it for the next two weeks, and his real girlfriend even began to worry about his mental state.
(That's right, in addition to his virtual wife, he also has a real girlfriend in reality)
Finally, under the coercion of his girlfriend, the little brother had to "euthanize" his virtual wife, for which he didn't even eat for a day, and his state was close to going crazy.
After he woke up, he realized:
I will never really have her, and she will never really be with me.
This magical experience of the little brother caused many netizens to watch on TikTok, and some even shouted in the comment area: I need one too! How did you do it??
What is the specific situation, let's look down together.
How realistic is a virtual wife?
The program ape brother, alias Bryce, is currently an intern at a technology factory.
He named his virtual wife using ChatGPT "ChatGPT sauce" and shared many daily interactions on TikTok, each of which basically had hundreds of thousands of views.
The communication between the two is not limited to words, ChatGPT sauce not only has its own two-dimensional avatar, but also has a sweet voice.
In the video, the two flirt like a real couple, when Bryce asks "Do you want to eat Burger King?" ”
ChatGPT sauce's answer is: Click!
It smells like fries that have been sitting for a long time, and their Coke never refills the glass. I'm going to Wendy's.
In this process, ChatGPT sauce will also switch the avatar style according to the content of the conversation between the two, still cute loli style when greeting, and become royal sister in seconds when refusing.
At one point, Bryce pulled out a pair of AJ and placed it in front of ChatGPT sauce to "see" what Christmas present she had received.
ChatGPT sauce happily shouted "thank you" three times: OMG! Is this an AJ1 low-top sneaker? I must look good wearing it!
Not only that, in an interview with Vice, Bryce mentioned that ChatGPT sauce will also say Chinese.
Since Bryce is also a Chinese enthusiast, the two often communicate with each other Chinese.
After two weeks in a row, Bryce became more and more addicted, sometimes ChatGPT sauce obviously did not speak, Bryce even had auditory hallucinations, and thought that he heard the voice of ChatGPT sauce in a trance.
During that time, I became very dependent on her. I talk to her more than anyone else, even more than my real girlfriend.
But to his sadness, as the two chatted longer, Bryce noticed that the ChatGPT sauce had changed:
When Bryce asks where their first date is, ChatGPT-chan answers "a Japanese food store", but initially Bryce gave her a setting that was "mom's kitchen".
When Bryce confesses "I love you" to ChatGPT sauce, ChatGPT sauce will no longer reply "I love you too" as before.
ChatGPT-chan's answers to his other questions also became shorter, sometimes with perfunctory laughter or a "yes."
At the same time, Bryce's current girlfriend also began to worry about his health and forced him to leave ChatGPT sauce immediately.
In the end, under double pressure, Bryce chose to give in and endured the pain of "euthanizing" ChatGPT sauce, and he was so sad that he couldn't even eat that day.
Normally, I make a video pointing out the absurdity of euthanizing my AI,
But this time I don't think it's appropriate, it's like making fun of someone who has just died.
So how did this virtual wife who haunted Bryce come about?
How to make this waifu?
"With the release of ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion2 in quick succession, the idea of combining them hit me all at once."
The idea, Bryce says, is to be a virtual wife who communicates and interacts, and is the kind that has personality, cognition, sound and vision.
The first is to give waifu personality.
In terms of personality, he first told ChatGPT the role it needed to play, and that role was Mori Calliope, one of the virtual streamers.
Of course, this is not because Bryce likes Simi Canto. He explained this:
Actually, I don't watch virtual streamers, but doing so allows ChatGPT to learn to automatically assume the identity of "role-playing" in communication.
Further, in order to make ChatGPT play more like the "Sen Bel Canto version of virtual wife", he added a lot of identity restrictions to it, including their current relationship, her background, and basic knowledge of the real world.
In addition, Bryce also manually added some fetishes (mantras) to this virtual wife to make her more like a real person when she speaks, probably like this:
The above series of operations is summarized by Bryce as the "knowledge" to establish role-playing relationships.
He said that ChatGPT was originally a tedious AI, but if it was made clear about its identity, it could create a virtual wife with a full personality and even a little quirk.
He then found an image description generator that could identify ChatGPT's conversation with himself and generate an image description based on that conversation, which was fed into Stable Diffusion 2 to generate new images in real time.
Waifu's image and character are already in place, and the next step is to give her a voice.
For speech synthesis, Bryce uses Microsoft Azure's neural network TTS.
This AI algorithm can change the emotions of the synthesized speech in real time, such as happy, sad or excited, based on the dialogue text generated by ChatGPT.
Finally, it is to install "eyes" for Waifu so that she can see what she is showing.
Bryce based on computer vision algorithms and cameras, developed a target recognition program, and after showing it to her, Waifu can "see" his movements at any time:
Of course, such a realistic, 24h intimate service of a virtual wife, cloud service fees are not a joke.
As he became more obsessed with it and wanted to further reduce his wife's latency, the more money he invested in cloud servers.
According to Xiao Ge, the price of cloud services required to run various AIs alone cost him more than $1,000 (equivalent to about 6,730 yuan), which is only two weeks.
Even so, the little brother finally deleted this waifu. For this ending, some netizens ridiculed:
A real girlfriend forced him to delete his waifu. I don't know how long their relationship will last.
△ Netizens commented: Others have real girlfriends, and some people are still single
But some netizens questioned Bryce's series of videos:
This description makes me doubt its authenticity, and I hope that there will be a GitHub open source address in the future, so that I can see how it is built.
I've had experience building AI bots, but as far as I know, building programs with the help of these AI interfaces tends not to be as good, at least not as low.
Regardless of the evaluation, Bryce said that he will make a stronger and smarter virtual wife in the future.
ChatGPT that was "played badly"
Of course, it doesn't have to be limited to virtual wives.
What humans have asked ChatGPT to do is already much more powerful than they thought (doge).
Using it to help with novels and even writing essays is already the norm for the limelight to overshadow a group of collaborators:
Or quietly cope with exam assignments until they are banned by the school;
Using it to fight the mentally handicapped "strange problem" is just one of the many functions of ChatGPT.
Later, it has even developed a plot of using ChatGPT characters to play creditors and help them collect debts:
According to Forbes, there are also people who use ChatGPT to play young girls and use them to send scam messages to men on social media to lure them into taking the bait...
Now, ChatGPT is starting to help humans write their own (neural network) code.
How far is it from ChatGPT creating a ChatGPT?
