Ever wished you had the perfect thing to say on a date or during a nerve-wracking job interview? A group of student researchers at Stanford may have come up with something to help — and it’s as wild as it sounds.
They’ve created a pair of smart glasses powered by GPT-4, OpenAI’s powerful language model, that listens to your conversations and suggests what you should say next. They call it rizzGPT, and it promises “real-time Charisma as a Service.”
How Does It Work?
The setup includes a small device (like a mini monocle) that clips onto a regular pair of glasses. It has a built-in camera and microphone that pick up the conversation around you. Then, using OpenAI’s Whisper software for speech recognition, it processes the conversation and feeds it into GPT-4.
GPT-4 quickly analyzes what’s being said and suggests a response — which is then displayed on a tiny screen in front of your eye.
Basically, it’s like having an AI-powered teleprompter whispering sweet nothings (or smart replies) into your brain.
Cool Concept, but Is It Practical?
In a demo posted online, the glasses helped a student answer a mock interview question. The response was polite, structured... and a bit robotic. It was clear he was reading from the tiny screen, and it wasn’t exactly smooth or natural.
That’s part of the challenge. While the idea is futuristic and fun, actually using the glasses in real-life social settings like dates or interviews might be harder than it sounds. Reading tiny scrolling text and trying to sound natural? Not so easy.
Should You Use AI for Charm?
Let’s be real — relying entirely on AI to carry a conversation probably isn’t the best way to show off your personality. But as a tool for nervous moments or practice, it could have some interesting potential.
For now, rizzGPT is just a fun experiment. It’s not quite ready to be your wingman or job coach just yet — and that might be for the best.
