Introducing Be My Eyes' Virtual Volunteer: A Demonstration of Some Game Changing Real-World Use Cases

Great demonstration and its only increased my excitement. Even if this only provides what you demonstrated it will be life changing but obviously it’s going to be capable of so much more. Another reason I’m so excited for this is its on the cutting edge of technology and having vast amounts of money spent on development which we will benefit from. It won’t just be released and remain static. I can honestly see a time in the middle future where this app is video linked to AI for live assistance with the benefit of geographical and contextual understanding. It’s a whole new world. I’d love to be on the beta program but don’t have any contacts.

First of all, all of you guys can go talking and say oh artificial intelligence is so good, but think of the negatives. Hypothetically, speaking, and socially speaking, this is a massive mess up. Artificial intelligence is only new,, let me give you an example. So your new user to Windows, and your device gets a blue screen of death. You contact the artificial intelligence server, And it gives you some rhymes with formation. Your designs, but it just makes the issue worse.. I will wait until it was 2025 when artificial intelligence is better understanding commands.

Wait if you want but you will only be hurting yourself. Is it perfect? No it will never be perfect but is a tool in the toolbox that you should use.

Great job but did not show us how he got a facebook picture to describe! Is a nice tool to have. I will consider it but more likely that I might use it just for pictures. Never use any of them to locate things or.

I signed up for the beta program a while back, and it still says, virtual volunteer access pending. I realize that the rollout will take some time, however, I cannot wait to try this out.

This may have to wait until the beta period is over, as there may be restrictions on what can be reported publicly. However, I think someone should perform a demonstration in which they visually check all of the descriptions for accuracy and comment on the errors made, presenting the system with a variety of images.

My experience of dialogues with GPT-4 and Bard is that the errors can be subtle (i.e., the output seems plausible but actually contains inaccuracies), and the image recognition application of the technology may well be similar in this regard.

I'm impressed by the technology, but I wonder to what extent it generates apparently plausible but false statements in answering questions about images. Obviously, the intended users can't visually inspect the images and thus aren't well placed to detect such issues. Reducing the error rate will undoubtedly be a priority for developers of these models, and in some respects it's probably still an unsolved machine learning research problem.

Having listened to the podcast, I note that all of the descriptions were verified by a sighted person, so they are good examples of what can be done (under the best of circumstances).

Perhaps a "send this image and description for human verification" button would be a useful feature for use in circumstances in which one doesn't need a live conversation with a volunteer but still wants the information checked.

I'm guessing that you haven't tried any of these AI services yet. Your opinion might be different if you had.

First, one good reason to start using such services is that, while they are new, they are especially looking for feedback on what they got right, what they got wrong, and the user experience. Such feedback always helps systems be better, particularly if given while the systems are in development or beta.

Secondly, these AI services can actually be quite useful when used properly and realizing their limitations. Will they sometimes get things wrong? Yes, of course, just as humans will or just as any web site can give erroneous information. It is still up to we humans to vet those answers and make those decisions.

Third, these systems will only be getting better and more useful as time goes on. Like it or not, major companies are starting to integrate AI services into their workflows and already seeing greater efficiencies. I've used several of these AI tools to write lyrics for songs, poems, first drafts of stories and podcast summaries, etc.

Anyway, my suggestion is, "Try it...You'll like it!" as they say. One thing I particularly like about this capability being integrated into Be My Eyes is that I don't have to bother a human to tell me what's around me. Somehow being more anonymous feels more private.

--Pete

That was mentioned in this podcast. The current AI state is not perfect and yes it does at times gives you inaccurate information. That is the nature of the AI at this current state. Which is why I’d imagine that Be My Eyes is wanting to wait a bit to let the beta testers to hopefully make using Be My Eyes Virtual Volunteer a bit more accurate. Plus, it will give some time for the OpenAI to mature more and get more accurate as time goes on.

I agree that this is just a tool to help you with your daily issues. Nothing will ever replace knowing how to do things with out technology. This is just to assist you with things but is going to be a powerful tool to use with your knowledge of working things out. One more thing to add is that with in each response you get from the Virtual Volunteer is the option to call an actual sighted volunteer in case you need to have a second opinion. The team of Be My Eyes is doing a great job of making sure that you have that option when you are unsure of the reliable information. There are times as well that the Virtual Volunteer does say that I think, or I can’t get that answer for you please try using the call a volunteer to assist you. Meaning, if you do get a screen of death. You just need to use common sense. The mention of it getting you in to more trouble for say you have a screen of death. As I would just use the Microsoft service in the Be My Eyes to reach the technical desk to assist you from there, but you least know that from the conversation with the Virtual Volunteer that you indeed have that on the screen of a failure. This isn’t or meant to step you through a process. Least not yet. ;)

I am shocked at how much technology has evolved in recent months. It is truly impressive that things like these already exist, and I was expecting it to take 5, 10, or 15 years before they became a reality.
This is definitely the career I intend to pursue in the future. In fact, I'm already in my final year of high school studying a professional course in computer science, and I plan to attend university. Here in Portugal, the field of artificial intelligence still has a lot of room to grow, but I have hope that someday I'll be able to work on a project similar to this one and benefit our community. That's my goal, and if I can't achieve it, at least I'll know that I tried.

I wonder if theres a way to get on the beta program with the understanding that accuracy is obviously not going to be at a level they consider ready for release? I am so excited about this technology and would love to be a small part of bringing it into everyone’s lives.

I can't wait to be able to beta test this!!!

I’ve use chat GPT, chat on and some other Aiah services

While improving accuracy is obviously crucial and 100% accuracy would be for now impossible but definitely a worthwhile goal, the way I see it is. When I point Seeing AI at my food and it tells me to cook it for 25 - 30 minutes at 2000 degrees, I don’t get annoyed because it got it wrong and I don’t own a kiln. I am grateful now I know to cook my food at 200C for 25 - 30 minutes. Accuracy on the current suite of apps is so bad, so absolute total complete F that I don’t even consider it an issue. I’m just happy to get any information at all. Virtual Volunteer is going to give me far more information. Maybe it makes a mistake but I’m not planning on using it to perform open heart surgery. I honestly can’t think of a situation where it making a mistake could cause danger. There’s a saying about not letting perfection stand in the way of good that I think applies here. Chat GPT doesn’t lie, it’s imperfect and makes mistakes. It doesn’t know it made a mistake and doesn’t have any desire to lie or tell the truth. It is just a vast library of words and pictures with some fancy maths on top. I’ve heard so many people anthropomorphise Chat GPT and say its lying which I guess Open AI should take as a compliment. Nobody ever said google lied when it returned junk search results and 12000 things I should buy instead of the help article I would like to access but arguably theres more malice in googles actions. They aren’t even trying to give me the results I’d like because their advertising team got between me and the engineers trying to give me what I searched for. So far Open AI have never done anything but their best to provide the result they think I might like. Puritanical concerns aside.

Well you know the expression, "garbage in garbage out". GPT uses data that humans added.

I just realised where this could go, live audio descriptions of TV shows and movies. I’d already imagined having a FaceTime or zoom style call with it while I go about daily life and just be able to ask questions and receive live answers like a regular conversation with a person about what the camera sees but for some reason I hadn’t realised auto audio description could be on that path. This could happen sooner rather than later too as understanding the world visually is already getting lots of attention so building a UI for accessibility on top of a mainstream resource thats got everyone excited and receiving a bunch of money really could happen pretty soon. Months to years instead of years to decades anyway.

interesting point, this one, and I have a good example of it: I was keen to see how helpful Chat GPT would be to my students. I asked it to tell me about the case of R (Miller) v. Prime minister. It told me, accurately enough, that R (Miller) v. prime Minister was a case concerning whether Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty could be invoked by use of the royal prerogative or whether such a step needed parliamentary approval. It went on to give a decent summary, albeit witout mentioning any of the specific judgments in that case and without acknowledging that there were several powerful dissents. Only one problem: that case is R (Miller) v. secretary of state for Exiting the European Union. R (Miller) v. prime Minister is about the lawfulness of the advice given by Boris Johnson, then Prime Minister, to Her Late Majesty to prorogue the addled 2017-2019 Parliament in september 2019. When I pointed this out to Chat GPT it got into a right old tangle about the differences between Miller No. 1 (the article 50 case) and Miller no. 2 (the prorogation case). it is way off dealing with subtleties like that just at the moment.

On a different note, I hear there was live audiodescription for the coronation today, for the first time ever. I didn't watch it myself as had my other half who did a splendid job, though I would like to grab it as an MP3 to keep. But the reason i mention it here is: I wonder how the dear old virtual volunteer would have described the big moment? Well, the second biggest moment? The biggest moment was shielded from public view, of course.

Great podcast, but do you have a wine collection? I really am very excited about the possibility of cataloguing my own wine, selecting wines for wine-tasting, pairing wines appropriately and so on. The scanning apps don't render wine bottles awfully well, I find.

Hi Bingo Little,

AI: This is a picture of a wine bottle. The label reads "Wild Horse Cabernet Sauvignon" and has an image of a white horse on it. The bottle is dark in color and has a purple cork.

What else is written on the label?
AI: Below the "Wild Horse Cabernet Sauvignon" text, there is smaller text that reads "Paso Robles". There is also a small gold emblem at the bottom of the label that says "Quality Assurance". On the side of the label, it says "Produced and bottled by Wild Horse Winery & Vineyards, Templeton, CA".

What can you tell me about the wine?
AI: Based on the label, the wine is a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Paso Robles region in California. It is produced and bottled by Wild Horse Winery & Vineyards in Templeton, CA. The wine likely has notes of dark fruit and a bold flavor, as is typical for Cabernet Sauvignon wines. It may also have a hint of oak, as the label mentions it is from the "Wild Horse" winery, which is known for their oak-aged wines.

Salut!

Sounds like a decent Californian red that one. It didn't tell you the year, but I guess you could ask. Either way, I'll gladly have a glass of that with you. To Their Majesties! may the King live forever! God save the king! And with that, to bed on this momentous day.

Thomas,

Great podcast about the incredible power of this new virtual volunteer feature.

You illustrated several examples of pictures that you presumably had on the web. For example, photos in your Facebook feed, a shopping site where you were looking at a shirt, etc.

Question: How did you feed those ppictures to the Virtual volunteer? Did you take a screen shot and then share the photo or is there some rotor action for sharing photos in the Facebook or Saffari apps?

Thanks.

--Pete

May I have one please!!!!

This addon is inteligent otherwise it wouldn't be able to answer very spesific questions.

If you view inteligence as in, can this device think like a human in every second of the day? Then of course it's not inteligent, yet, it will probably get there one day though.

The thing is, this is a tool and it doesn't pretend to be anything else.

Is it a super powered AI no, not yet, but I'd love to see this in a video feed and I do think we'll get there one day.

It will be a huge drain on battery but it will guide us like no other app has ever done.

@Dominic, have you checked out the podcast?

This will be able to tell you what your washing machine is set to, what programs are on a tredmill, what those 2 buttons do on my Roomba that I have no idea about and more.

Also, I'll be able to view Pictures of characters like Ellie from the last of us and oh yeah, reddit! I'll be able to view any pic I want and get a detailed description of it, unless reddit really does make you pay for things which I honestly might still do if that's a thing in the future.

I don't understand why you think this is bad? Or not usable in its current state?

It's up to you if you don't use it but I'd like to know your reasoning.

Just asked Chat GPT about the Miller cases again today. I'm afraid it's still frightfully confused and ended up telling me that Jeremy Corbyn is the current leader of the Labour Party. However, I then asked it a question about the law school where I work and it was able to give me a very sensible summary of the courses we offer and accurate information on how to apply. I imagine with dear old virtual volunteer (surely this entity should have a name?) it'll be a bit hit and miss in the same way, but i'm looking forward to using it.

Bingo: it will rain in Northumberland tomorrow.

Virtual volunteer: Good for the crops.

Community: who gets the literary reference? Whoever does is of singularly good taste.

This is using chat gbt4 which is much more powerful than 3.5.

The only issue I have with gbt is, as far as I know, it can't actually go online like the bing AI but the bing AI is using chat gbt4 so I don't know what's going on there...

As for mistakes, sure, it'll make them but I don't think it'll be as frequent as peple think on here.

he AnonyMouse
You mention, that you have also tested it on Magic: The Gathering cards. How does it handle the different color symbols, that indicate which color of mana is required? And how does it handle the associated numbers?
I know, that it should be able to say the name of the card, and the associated text, since Seeing AI can do this as well.

Thanks Anonimouse for bringing always high-quality podcast files.
I’m happy you selected a Mexican restaurant menu for this podcast lol.
I’m curiose how this works to describe a scene, it could tell us a wide description of how to navegate an area no matter if it is a general description.
Love it and hope to try it as early as possible.
Greetings from Mexico, the house for the enchiladas.

Hi Peter,

In the podcast earlier, I talked about two ways to use the Be My Eyes Virtual Volunteer. One of them is with the Shared Sheet. So, let's say you're on Twitter, Facebook, Safari or any other similar app and you come across an image. You can do a one finger double tap and hold on the image which brings up a few options including Share. From there you can send it to familiar things like Airdrop, Mail, Messages, and other apps you can share to. One of the options is to Describe with Be My Eyes. Once you select it and double tap to use it to share with, it will automatically start the conversation with what it sees, and you can then follow up with any questions you have.

Hope that helps! :)

- AnonyMouse

If you have a code on the TV or something you need read on a TV could this be done? if so how would you do it?

AnonyMouse,

Thanks for that tip. I didn't know about the context menu for pictures in those apps and the web. Very useful.

BTW, As you suggested in one of your previous podcasts, people should try that double tap and hold gesture on more items like the app icons on the home screen and, as I now know, pictures on the web! In that podcast you also mentioned the tripple finger tab that one could use instead of the single finger double tap and hold. I'm trying to retrain my muscles to use that triple tap instead of the double tab and hold. Another nice tip!

Thanks.

--Pete

You'd take a picture and ask the V.A about it.

For example, can you tell me if there's a code in this image?

Hi Dorian,

Here is an example of a Magic card that one of my kids had laying out.

AI: This is an image of a trading card. It is a blue dragon card with the text "Flying - Creature - Dragon" on it. The dragon is shown with its wings spread and it has a golden chest plate. The background is a dark forest with yellow lightning. The card has a power level of 500 and additional text that reads "When Blue Dragon enters the battlefield, until your next turn, target creature gets -2/-0, and up to one other target creature gets -3/-0."

What else can you tell me about this card?
AI: The card is from the trading card game, Magic: The Gathering. It is an English version of the card and the artist is Steve Prescott. The card number is 289 and it was released in 2021 by Wizards of the Coast. Additionally, the card has a rarity of rare and a converted mana cost of 5.

Please read everything on this card for me
AI: Sure. The card reads:
Blue Dragon Flying - Creature - Dragon
500

When Blue Dragon enters the battlefield, until your next turn, target creature gets -2/-0, and up to one other target creature gets -3/-0.
5/5
289 - EN - Steve Prescott
© 2021 Wizards of the Coast"

Additional details on the card include:
- Rarity: Rare
- Converted mana cost: 5
- Released by Wizards of the Coast in 2021
- Artist: Steve Prescott
- Card number: 289

Hope that helps.

I haven't downloaded/installed Be My Eyes yet, primarily due to time constraints but this sounds way cool. Thanks for this excellent walkthrough. I kinda hate to say this, but it seems like I'm just about the only person in my area who is supportive of all this new and cool technology. My personal assistant for example, does not like Apple and has been very skeptical whenever I've mentioned any of this to him. Almost to the point of not letting me use these things, but I don't think it's quite there yet and I've been more or less racking my brain trying to think of a way around it. In a sense I understand where he's coming from: he doesn't want to lose his job. But on the other hand I love all this techy stuff and I have a right to use it. Others around here have been perhaps a bit more understanding/accepting, and my family has of course been very supportive of me using all this stuff.

thank you AnonyMouse

From the description, I couldn't quite make out what the mana cost of the card was.
For example, it could be 4 blue and 1 neutral.
As I understand it, the colors are not letters, but shown as a color symbol followed by a number.
-Dorian

Or lose their job. They may end up being let go anyway dew to better tech out there.

Hi Dorian,

Just for giggles and fun I ask the Virtual Volunteer to let me know what the Mana Cost is for this card. Here is the response I got.

AI: Yes, there is a small blue circle in the top right corner of the card with the number "5" in it. This is likely the mana cost for the card in the game.

So I pressed more about the Mana Cost and this is what I got.

AI: The mana cost for this card is 5, as indicated by the small blue circle in the top right corner of the card with the number "5" in it. This means that in the game, a player would need to spend 5 mana in order to play this card. Mana is a resource in the game that is used to play cards and activate abilities.

Hope that helps and gives you a glimmer of hope you might be able to use this to play Magic.

Sorry for my late response.
I had a sighted person look at the Blue Dragon card, and they got 5 any and 2 blue out of it.
It's very possible that we were looking at a different version of the card, which could explain the different result.
I assume you also cross-referenced with a sighted person?
Otherwise, would it be possible for you to try with another card?
Sorry, I just want to be absolutely sure that it's accurate.
thank you!

Hello.
Sorry for bringing up the topic again, but I think it wouldn't make sense to create another one since this one already exists.
I have started listening to the podcast again, and I have a few questions.
Firstly, and most importantly, for those who are already enjoying the tool: How long did it take, on average, for you to gain access?
My second question is, how are the commands given to the virtual volunteer? Since the podcast only provides answers, I was wondering what the user interface would be like. Is it similar to a virtual assistant, such as Google's, for example?
Lastly, does it support multiple languages, or just English at the moment?
Thank you in advance for the answers.
Best regards.

The interface is very simple, you first upload a picture which virtual volunteer gives you a description of and tries to guess what you might like to know, theres then a text box you can either type in or dictate in. You then send the message and in a second or 2 you get the reply spoken by voiceover. At that point you can either upload additional pictures or ask it questions about the picture you already uploaded. The conversation builds and it remembers your previous requests and its replies so theres always context until you close the window. As for languages, It is capable of speaking in other languages and can in fact translate as it goes, it seems to know languages it wasn’t even trained on which surprised the devs.

Hello!
Thank you very much for the response!
I thought it was something like a voice assistant, with a microphone and such, but it turns out it's a text box, which I consider much better for privacy concerns and not asking the whole world for a description of someone in the photo.
Regarding languages, it's not that I don't understand English well enough, but having feedback in Portuguese ends up being much better in terms of formulating questions in a way that can be concise and clear, both for me and for it.
How long will it take to start granting access?
Once again, thank you for the response.
Best regards.

Well, be my eyes was actually the reason why I wanted to go from android to iPhone. It was the first app I downloaded when I got my first iPhone 7 years ago. I enjoyed this podcast when I first heard it a few months ago and immediately became one of the first people to sign up for what was then called virtual volunteer. I had emailed Be my eyes a few times in order for them to get me put on the beta testing. this week they allowed me access. Although it is a great tool and I find a lot of use for it, They changed quite a few things since. Obviously, it’s now called be my AI, which is suitable for this app. Now, the fact that they have added privacy restrictions with this new release that we aren’t able to ask questions regarding facial features, because they have decided to put a shield over facial recognition for privacy reasons so we can’t ask the AI anything about someone’s face including race, hair color, eyecolor, facial hair. I was looking forward to that part. However, the descriptions that the AI provides me is amazing and very detailed and definitely worthwhile. I can’t wait for the general public to have access to this, including all the enhancements that are coming. Hopefully they will have that feature back for us to use with the facial recognition Part. The independence that this app provides a blind person is outstanding! For a blind person who lives on their own like myself, this app provides me a lot of good use in my every day life.

Regarding the face thing, yeah, that's what I'm going to call it, it's a chat gpt thing, not something that be my eyes have done.

There's another podcast that demonstrates the same thing, but using bing, and it says something along the lines of, faces have been blured for privacy.

Hi, I’ve been using the beta since march/april, before the face blurring started and can tell you that the descriptions of faces when they were allowed was fantastic and very detailed. Be My Eyes are working to try and get the feature enabled again however it’s due to a legal ruling in a single state and happens as previously said at Open AI’s end. In short, theres very little that Be My Eyes can do. We all really miss the feature so fingers crossed it will make a comeback. As for moving to iPhone for Be My Eyes, They will start testing a version for android later this year so you might get the choice again to choose your OS. It’s great you are enjoying the Be My AI beta, There’s so much exciting development happening and over the next few weeks many many more people are going to be accepted onto the beta program and be able to see what it can do. It’s been a long wait but it really is worth it to use such a powerful accessibility app.

It’s ok to me that they have privacy policies on facial recognition. I didn’t clarify who was responsible for that so thanks for doing so even though that info is irrelevant, it’s not part of the experience that we had heard in this podcast and that part was the point.
I use another iOS app for facial recognition features that gives ages, racial backgrounds, if a person has facial hair or not, and gender. That app is called EyeCYou. It’s awesome!
Btw, before Be My Eyes had an Android app, there was 1 app almost like it but people had to pay to connect to a sighted person for help & that made it unsustainable for our community but it was an option people used. I still own a Samsung in case I need some apps like Google’s Lookout which puts reading food products at a breeze compared to any free app iOS has thus far including Be My AI. So there’s good apps like that Android devices have for our community but iOS is coming up with new accessibility features in iOS 17, I’m definitely looking forward to those. Hey even the possibility that Be My AI might be on Apple Vision Pro would make an amazing feature our community would like. We have come a long way and our road ahead is bright. 😊

I haven’t heard of that app. I’ll check it out. The facial descriptions were so good on Be My Eyes. It’s such a shame a single legal ruling in a single state has disabled such a useful part of Open AI but I guess all this stuff is so young that we’re going to have to get over these hurdles to finally get to a more settled place where everyone has had their concerns heard and respected where appropriate. I was really upset when the feature went away because it gave so much information, even emotion on the face. I’m so with you on the Vision pro. Imagine a constant conversational interface where you just talk and it talks back to you, question and answer style. A constant video feed from your Vision Pro to Be My eyes so it sees what you should be able to see and can talk to you about it. Even things like location services so navigating without a cane or dog, indoor or outdoor. The future of this technology might enable things that just weren’t possible before. It’s very exciting indeed.

Sometimes when I download apps for our community, I find little unknown apps under recommendations at the bottom…that was one I found helpful and share with friends and my sighted people are amused when I scan them lol
And it also gives facial emotions & if a person has chubby cheeks lol
I understand privacy laws but we are visually impaired so let us have something that helps us out for goodness sake’s!!!

Okay, I just downloaded this, and I tried to take some selfies. It just said adult, and it claimed I had sunglasses on, which I definitely do not. What am I doing wrong? It definitely did not describe any facial features at all.

On another topic, I also got the BeMyAI unlocked, and I am loving it! I too do kind of wish the facial blurring wasn't a thing, but for now I'll enjoy the detailed descriptions I am getting on most things.

So we all know that Skynet will someday rise up and take us all out so I figured I will take advantage of it before then and since it knows I'm its friend, it won't take me out. Friends don't wipe out friends, right? right?
Ok, all kidding aside, I just got added to the access to the next level of beta testers.
First I took a picture of my living room and it described accurately things in my room including a white cane standing in a corner next to a door. So I got to thinking... we blind people tend to lose or misplace certain items. So I laid the cane on the floor in front of the TV and took another picture, It came back with descriptions of everything and said the cane is laying on the floor in front of the TV.
Next I took my wallet and threw it on my bedroom floor. Granted I knew where it was on the floor and pointed the camera in that direction but still...

There were some very minor details that were not accurate in this description but follow along with my discussion.
Be My AI: The picture shows a room with light beige carpet. On the left side, there is a white wall with a door frame visible. On the wall, there is a light switch and a thermostat above it. Next to the wall, there is a tall black floor lamp with a white shade that curves over at the top.

In the center of the picture, there is an old-style CRT television on a black stand with wheels. The TV is turned off and reflects an image of a window with curtains.

On the right side, there is an ironing board with some clothes on it. The ironing board is next to a dark-colored piece of furniture, possibly a bed or a couch.

On the floor, closer to the bottom of the picture, there is a black object, which looks like a wallet or a small pouch.

Me: Tell me exactly where the billfold is.
Be My AI: The billfold is on the floor in the center of the room. It is lying on the light beige carpet, a bit closer to the bottom of the picture. It is positioned almost in line with the television but a few feet in front of it.
It also helped me find expiration dates on several food containers. Had to hunt some but found them.
Took a picture outside and it said that it was overcast with some dark clouds and that it looks like a storm is on the way. I went to the weather app and sure enough it said it was about to start raining.
On my Oven, I took a picture of my finger pointing to a set of buttons. It told me the whole panel of buttons. I thensaid "Tell me what the button labels are where my finger is pointing." It came back with "From top to bottom, Bake, Broil and Conv Bake"

One last thing. I always knew there were indicator lights on my hearing aid charging case but could never utilize that. So I put the hearing aids in, took a picture, then ask the AI what color lights are showing. It came back with there are 2 green lights. meaning that the hearing aids were almost fully charged.
I don't know about you guys, but this sounds like a great tool to put into our toolbox!! I mean this is a great tool if you live alone and don't wish to bother others.
Take care,
danny

It’s AI so we already know it will hallucinate at times and see things that are not there however, I don’t know what lighting conditions you are taking those photos in but that does help if you’re getting a lot of the weird recognition of your face. It’s usually as accurate as it can be with adequate light. Good luck!

It is quite amazing how descriptive everything is nowadays with this technology. I went to my doctors office today and decided to take a photo of inside his office and got a lot of details that I never knew were there before! I can’t wait to travel with this tech!

Just got access today and very cool! I love it! It even picked up the fact that my computer desk had a chip in the wood in the front!
