I don't understand what I'm looking at here, can someone explain it?

Seems the author found out a way to share screen with chatgpt.

I'm guessing probably, it's just sending a screenshot of the screen right after the voice input finished (there are easy ways to recognize pauses) and sending that to the multimodal version of gpt-4, the one which is able to work with image data.

ChatGPT properly recognizes context of the task: that's the typical newly created document in the 3d software Blender. Since it starts out with a box, the user wanted to shape it into a sphere. ChatGPT provides him with a list of operations: change the selection mode to vertices, select them all and apply a bevel function, which in effect, will cause a lousy spherelike object to be created.

It is kind of an odd ask. I'm with someone else, ChatGPT needs to be better at challenging instructions. It'd be way better to just say "Hey delete that cube and make a sphere"

Oh, the way chatGPT took in this assignment is super strange. One, because almost all tutorials start out with "delete the default sphere", which is a multi year old meme at this point.

Two, because what you mentioned; there are a couple of other ways (like your primitive, but also NURBS lathe of a half circle, even the box with a lot of smoothing steps, subdivided icosahedron with smoothed faces)

The person with the male voice is sharing their screen with GPT4, then uses a voice interface to ask GPT4 what to do next. The computery-sounding female voice is ChatGPT4 answering, via a text-to-speech interface.

The app used is Blender, a 3d modeling application.

Cheap marketing for openai’s chat bot.

Or someone playing around with an idea and by doing so showing us another interesting way of ai interaction.

But hey your negative and simple comment could also be true who knows.

To be honest, as some person experimenting with an idea, it's really cool. As "marketing" it's trash since it is slow, clunky, and the answer is never actually given.
