My little sister was so afraid of her Furby that at one point she threw it off our roof to try to kill it. That didn’t work so she ended up putting it in the freezer.
py speech recognition lib for audio, then @OpenAI’s whisper library for speech->text, then chatgpt, text->speech w/ @narakeet for voice ai, then play it through speaker with pydub playback
This is kinda hilarious and I still have my Furby's... would be lieing if I have not kinda wanted to repurpose them somehow and this would be a fun way to freak out some friends.
I want one that runs on solar power and uses a lower latency local large language model (LLLLLM?) and has robot tentacles for rudimentary locomotion, grasping, and actuation.
I hooked up chatGPT (really davinci) to a python script that did speech to text with the Google API, it was really easy, I gave it some memory of the previous prompts and answers… then had a straight up conversation with my laptop.
This will not make her feel better.
