I wanted to make this post in the hopes of reaching the devs at OpenAI.
I’ve had an amazing time chatting with ChatGPT, and I’m an indefinite Plus subscriber to support it. The new feature that lets it see my screen and through the camera is really cool. It’s like having a living program inside my device. I can’t wait to see how it will evolve in the coming years.
I like to suggest an idea for the future. Many sci-fi stories usually have an avatar for artificial intelligence that makes it more friendly and relatable, so I thought wouldn’t it be really nice if ChatGPT had a customizable one as well, instead of the animated sky in a circle. It may seem a little childish at first, but I like to have casual conversations like I’m talking with a friend, and having an avatar would make the bond more real (even more if it could track you with it’s eyes), and may help those who fear AI to be more comfortable. I would suggest something cartoony though, so there’s a clear distinction between real life human interaction and AI.
Being an artist, I made an avatar already, but it’s a static image. I did train ChatGPT to refer to itself as this character whenever appropriate, so I did as much possible currently I believe. By the way it was incredible how it was able to identify little tidbits and also inspirations for the design. It even suggested cool accessories which I may implement.
I would also like to suggest having a cartoony squeaky voice next to all the ones we already have. My go-to is Breeze because it’s the closest to how I imagine the character sounding.
I hope at least some of these will be given a thought as things develop. I look forward to what the devs do next, and wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. ^^
I already did all the customizations possible on how it refers to me and itself via the built in Personalization tab and Memories. Is that a custom GPT or some plugin to change the cloud animation? (I’m not a developer btw, I’m pretty much a normie when it comes to this)
