ChatGPT, a powerful and sophisticated AI-based language model, is the driving force behind a new AI clock created by web-developer Nigel Webb. Rather than just telling the time, this clock uses ChatGPT to generate tiny poems that tell it – both accurately and entertainingly. Webb is still exploring options to make the clock available to the public, and although the back-end needs further development, the most immediate financial obstacle preventing its mass production is the $1.80 a day it costs to use the AI model.
Although the precision of the clock is impressive, it has a unique and memorable quirk: once every 15 minutes, it is prone to ‘fibbing’, or ‘hallucinating’, and make up the time to fit certain rhymes. This can produce humorous results, as the clock can give the wrong time while sounding accurate. Although Webb plans to fix this, it presents an interesting situation where clockwork accuracy meets AI-work imagination.
Nigel Webb is a web-developer based in Vancouver, Canada. He is currently working on this AI-Clock, which utilizes the ChatGPT language model to craft original and captivating updates to the time. He has been praised for pushing forward with the project despite the financial issues of running the AI model, with his main priority being to make it available to the public.
ChatGPT is an AI-based language model developed by Microsoft Research Asia, and is capable of completing tasks such as natural language understanding, question answering, and text summarization. This model is able to accurately determine the time, while injecting some creative flair through tiny bee-based poems. It is already being used in a variety of different applications, and its capability to craft unique and captivating additions to the time makes it even more appealing.
