Glasses that Utilize ChatGPT to Aid Users with Social Anxiety

A Stanford University student, Bryan Chiang, has developed a software called RizzGPT that utilizes OpenAI’s ChatGPT technology and an open-source augmented reality monocle from Brilliant Labs to help individuals who suffer from social anxiety. By wearing the prototype eyepiece, users can receive prompts for what to say next while conversing with others. The AR eyepiece includes a camera, microphone, and an internal projector screen that displays text generated by the AI-powered software. RizzGPT also has the ability to listen to a conversation, interpret it, and create a response. Although the device is still in the prototype phase and has bugs, Chiang aims to demonstrate how rapidly advancing technology can be used to help individuals connect more effectively. The device is not intended to replace natural, authentic conversation but instead encourages individuals to adopt new ways of interacting. Chiang’s mission is to inspire people and show them what the future of conversation might look like. With its innovative technology, RizzGPT could be helpful for individuals who struggle with social anxiety and have difficulties talking to others.
