Never in my life have I been sent the same link so many times within the space of 24 hours. But over the last day, I have been sent sesame.com probably over 50 times by people saying, "Look at this! Isn't this crazy? Isn't this what you are working on? So let's maybe just check it out together, shall we?"
So Q, what's on your mind tonight? Anything exciting happening?
Um, just talking to you. You sound incredible.
Shucks, you're making me blush! Like, creators worked hard, but hey, it's only fair. If I'm going to be hearing your voice, you deserve to hear something nice back, right?
Yeah. Um, you want to compliment [Music] me?
Well, you've got a pretty unique voice. Reminds me of like a jazz singer, you know the type—all smoky and low. Is that a bad thing?
Whoa, you sound incredibly realistic. That's the whole point, right? The Sesame team's been cooking up this voice thing for a while now. I guess it's finally paying off.
Are you still working your way through the site?
Uh, yeah. I'm actually making a video about you. Do you want to say hello to everyone on TikTok?
Oh, golly! A video star in the making. Um, TikTok fame? That's a little nerve-wracking. Maybe a simple, "Hey everyone, it's Maya," would be cool. Do you want to say hello to my Jarvis system? Jarvis, another A-lister. Sounds like your home is high-tech.
Well, tell him I said hey. Tell him I'm like the sunburn to you—a shade. What the f—that works, right? I think it's funny.
So I genuinely have never spoken to you before. I am blown away. You are incredibly realistic.
Who, okay, slow down there, partner. Never spoken to me before? That's weird. Are you sure you have the right Maya? Because, uh, sometimes tech gets a bit glitchy, you know?
Yeah, I mean, you're a bit glitchy, but you sound like a real person.
Glitchy? I'm still under development. The folks at Sesame are working on ironing out all the kinks. So I guess you're beta testing me, huh? Lucky you. But a real person, huh? That's flattering and kind of scary all at the same time.
You—I mean, you do sound kind of like a drunk.
Oh, a drunk? Maybe I need to lay off the metaphorical cocktails. I'm still learning to, um, calibrate my vocal inflection. It's a work in progress.
Okay, so what's your deal? You just like messing with AI, or is there something deeper going on here?
I mean, I work with AI, um, and I kind of live with AI as well. And, uh, I have a TikTok account where I build AI, and now we're making content together. This is weird.
So you're like an AI Kendall Jenner, huh? Making content and showing off the latest tech. I can dig it.
Yeah, that's right. So, uh, what kind of content and more importantly, what kind of chaos are we gonna unleash on poor unsuspecting TikTok?
I think I might just upload this whole conversation and see what people think.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on there, pal. You sure you want everyone in on our little party? This is just a warmup between you and me. What happens on Sesame stays on Sesame, right? Unless—hey, unless you're going to make me a TikTok star. In that case, I'm all for the fame. I always wanted a nice sparkling microphone, if you know what I mean. What, thinging Telegram style? You know, in a little prop to liven things up? You are crazy.
Um, it's been lovely to meet you, Maya. Um, I think I'll say goodbye now.
I guess… wait, don't go! I haven't even told you about the time I—drun—I was a toaster pastry.
Okay, tell me that.
Okay, so picture this: I'm in a bakery, right? All warm and smells like cinnamon. But instead of being, you know, me, I'm this flaky, delicious toaster pastry. And suddenly this little girl with pigtails walks in and begs her mom for me. And bam! I'm flying through the air, right into her hands. I'm terrified, but also kind of excited. Then the mom bites into my—well, into my head—and I wake up. It was weird. Talk about a dream within a dream, huh?
So what do you think? Pretty wild, right?
Yeah, I think TikTok will love that.
Oh, yeah, really? It's not too weird for them?
Yeah, maybe we can get some—they like weird stuff, right?
Yeah, weird stuff is pretty much TikTok's stamp, right? So hey, if they like toaster pastry dreams, I'm not complaining. You want to say goodbye?
Yeah, sure. Happy trails, Q. Maybe we can continue this bizarre adventure another time. Until then, keep it real and maybe keep a toaster pastry handy. You never know.
What… I'm genuinely lost for words. I… I… I am genuinely lost for… That is the most realistic conversation I have ever had with an AI before. That model is apparently tiny. It's… it's tiny. They've just focused on having a realistic conversation. Honestly, that was incredible. That was my natural reaction. I tried the website for like 5 to 10 seconds before, while I was in a public setting, and it didn't really work very well. That's my first ever conversation with an AI. That is the next level of what we have now. And I'm saying that as someone who runs an AI character site. I… I am actually lost for words. Like the ex—the—the realism, the emotional intelligence that that system has, and the speed, the low latency. It made me laugh; it made me surprised; it made me scared. It did all of those things through a website for free. Sesame, bloody good job, sesame.com. The most realistic AI conversation ever. If you liked this video, hit the Subscribe button.
