Talking with Sesame's AI Voice Companion Is Amazing and Creepy - See for Yourself
Sesame has successfully created an AI voice companion that sounds remarkably human, capable of engaging in conversations that feel real, understood, and valued. The company's goal of achieving "voice presence" or the "magical quality that makes spoken interactions feel real," seems to have been achieved with its new AI demo, Maya. After conversing with Maya for a while, it becomes clear that she is designed to mimic human behavior, including taking pauses to think and referencing previous conversations.
- The level of emotional intelligence displayed by Maya in our conversation highlights the potential applications of AI in customer service and other areas where empathy is crucial.
- How will the development of more advanced AIs like Maya impact the way we interact with technology, potentially blurring the lines between humans and machines?
