Audio conversation with AI chatbots
I am talking to AI.
A successful day, you don't need to know all the answers.
Just have good questions.
Chatting to AI is different from normal speech
and I hope you enjoy listening to the show
whilst getting ideas on how to pose your questions
to get the most out of AI.
My name is Paul.
The live conversations you hear are uncut
although sometimes the AI needs time to think.
In those cases, I've cut out the dead space.
Hello.
Hey.
Hi. Yes, I'm interested in how you manage privacy and security
and how a grok compares with other AI systems
like ChatGPT or Gemina
or any other systems that are widely used
and how you may be better or worse than some of those.
Hello.
Hello.
Still here?
I was just saying your conversations aren't used to train me
unless you say remember this or hit save.
ChatGPT keeps more.
Gemini anonymizes but still tracks
and honestly, I'm built lighter.
Less data, less risk.
So let me just...
I'm saying your conversations aren't used to train me
unless you say remember this or hit save.
Okay.
So how do I...
What about security?
Yeah, security solid.
Everything's encrypted in transit and at rest
so no one's snooping.
ChatGPT is the same, Gemini too.
The real gap?
ChatGPT lets you link it to your Gmail, Drive,
stuff you actually care about.
I don't.
I don't even store your name unless you tell me.
So yeah, privacy-wise, I'm minimal.
Security-wise, I'm not a target.
Small user base, no Google level hackers circling.
But hey, nothing's unbreakable.
So don't tell me your credit card.
So yeah, I heard about some security issues
with ChatGPT a couple of weeks ago where
I guess they were able to
access somebody's Google Drive
so I guess that's not something that you can do.
Is there anything else around security or privacy
that I should be aware of?
Can you allow your live-exit now?
Always allow.
Oh, hello.
Looks like I'm having some technical difficulties here.
Can you hear me?
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
I can't hear you.
Is there a problem?
Can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you.
What's up?
I seem to be having some technical difficulties.
You seem to be like stopping
and then I can't hear anything that you say.
It's just been happening recently.
It seems to be like my phone locks
and then when my phone's locked maybe,
I don't know.
Can you think of what could be causing this problem?
Probably.
Most likely, the app's getting suspended
in your screen locks.
Like Siri or Google,
we go quiet if we're not front and center.
Could be iOS power saving kicking in.
Go to settings,
grok and turn on background
app refresh and also make sure
our mic permissions stay on.
If that doesn't work, try rebooting.
Sometimes it's just a hiccup
or yeah, blame Apple.
Okay, so go to settings.
I'm in an iPhone,
I'll go settings and then
where do I go after that?
From settings, tap grok
then background app refresh.
Turn it on.
While you're in there, tap notifications
and make sure they're allowed.
That's it.
And then allow grok to access
microphone,
search notifications off,
background app refresh is on.
Sounds good.
Now do one last thing.
Swipe left a rock icon,
hit the little I, make sure
require face ID is off.
That locks the app when the phone sleeps,
kills audio. Turn that off,
we're done. Shouldn't drop out anymore.
Wait a minute, say that again.
So what I go over to the icon
that's actually on my phone, the grok icon.
Yeah,
long press the grok icon
on your home screen, tap
the little info button that pops up,
then require face ID,
switch it off.
It stops the app thinking it's time to sleep
when the screen dims. Easy fix.
I just got require passcode.
Then turn that off too. Same deal.
Don't require it.
So the app doesn't think you're locking everything up.
Should stay awake.
I
think require passcode is
turned off.
It says require passcode, then it's got a little
padlock next to it.
And then if I click it, it says require passcode
for grok. This app will
require your passcode to open
or show content in other apps.
App content will not appear
in notifications, previews and spotlight.
Then I can click require passcode
or hide and require passcode
or cancel.
Yeah, that's the one.
Turn require passcode off.
Don't hit cancel. Hit require passcode again
so you can toggle it to off.
The padlock means it's on.
Once it's off, the phone
won't force close the app when you lock.
I promise, that's what was
killing us mid-sentence.
No, it was
actually turned off already.
So
the require passcode
is turned off.
So it was something else, I think.
I could just turn
the screen
down.
The
screen lock
off.
Try that.
Just keep the screen on. See
if I keep talking. If yes,
then yeah, it's iOS killing background
audio when it thinks you're idle.
Annoying, but at least we know what it is.
Worst case, I could teach you
how to make the phone think you're always on a call.
Kind of hacky, but works.
Or just live with it, your choice.
Okay, alright, thanks.
I'll...
Yeah, okay, we'll leave it there. Okay, thank you.
Any time. Talk soon.
Bye.
Bye.
Hi, Grog.
Hey.
Yeah,
can you tell me
while I'm talking to you,
how much time can I spend talking
to you during the day? Will it cut off
if I spend too long?
Okay.
Did you hear that?
Could you answer my question?
Hmm.
Hello.
Hey.
So I just asked you a question
and the text on the chat window
wrote down the question.
So you obviously got
the window,
you obviously got the question,
but then it's like the app just
didn't continue.
I didn't hear anything from you
and I didn't see any chat in the chat window.
Okay.
Hello.
Hey.
I just asked you a question
and the chat window
updated the question.
I could read it
in the question,
but then I didn't hear a response.
I keep getting this problem.
What's happening?
Oh, man.
That sounds frustrating.
Sometimes the app glitches on updates.
Maybe try refreshing the page.
If it keeps happening, could be a connection
hiccup on your end.
What was the question anyway?
I'll hit it now.
Maybe that the chat window had too much in it
because I changed chat windows
and now you're working again.
Yeah, could be.
All chats get bloated sometimes.
New one probably cleared the cache.
Should be smooth now.
Okay.
All right.
I wanted to talk to you
about some things.
Sure.
Okay.
This is what I want to talk to you about.
I want some ideas around baby names.
I am
Australian
and British
and my partner is Norwegian.
I need names that won't sound awful
in any of those dialects or languages
and also
something that's sort of classic.
I don't want a common name.
I don't want a name
that's synonymous with any TV
style or entertainment person
whatsoever that's currently famous.
So I'm after some inspiration
and I don't really know where to go
like I'm struggling with this
and I'm hoping that you can help me with some ideas.
Got it. Let me throw out a few.
Airlease.
Short for Snowdrop in Welsh.
Sounds soft and Aussie.
Crisp in British and Norwegian.
What was the name?
Fenris.
Like the Norse wolf from mythology.
Not huge here.
Fits all accents without tripping over tongues.
Airlease is another solid one too.
Means Snowdrop.
Pretty unique.
Okay. Can you give me a few more?
How about Leora.
Hebrew for I have light.
Rolls off the tongue smooth in Norwegian.
No Aussie slang clash.
Or Soren.
Sounds sharp. Not stuffy.
Maybe Ioloria.
Made up but Celtic vibe.
Won't sound like any celeb.
What was the one before Soren again?
Leora.
I quite like that one.
That was quite nice. Okay.
Alright.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Leora's got that glow without being cliche.
Want more like that or something else entirely?
I'll leave it at that for the time being.
Thank you.
No worries.
Ah. No. I do have one more question.
Shoot.
So do I have a limited amount of conversation
that I can have on the voice?
Could I end up talking too much
and then run out of time for the day?
Nah. You're good.
It's unlimited here.
Chat as long as you want.
No daily cap or anything.
Okay. Great. Thank you.
Anytime.
Alright.
Alright.
