New AI Chat Experience: WeHead's Innovative Device Brings Chatbots to Life

2024-01-04

With the release of a new and somewhat peculiar AI head, using AI chatbots has become more personalized. The company behind this product, WeHead, initially intended it to be a spatial video device for 3D video calls. However, it has now evolved into something that adds a more human touch to AI chatbots. This AI head, which sits on your desk, consists of four displays and mimics a real person with whom you can interact and ask questions. WeHead claims that it can be used as an educator, caregiver, AI companion, personalized news anchor, as well as a digital clone of celebrities and loved ones. They state, "WeHead GPT utilizes a large language model (LLM) to assist you in brainstorming, decision-making, and self-reflection." Despite the demonstration below showing that this AI-related technological advancement is still in its early stages, this latest invention has not alleviated concerns about the unstoppable replacement of humans by artificial intelligence. However, given the rapid development of artificial intelligence in the real world, there is almost no reason to believe that this is the end point of such technology. With the introduction of more customized GPTs, an AI head has the potential to become any persona that humans desire, as long as they provide the correct prompts. Anyone interested in elevating their AI chatbot experience to a more personalized level must be willing to pay a high price for this privilege. Owning this product requires a payment of $4,950, while leasing it costs $199 per month. This Silicon Valley company also offers the product for testing to businesses and developers as "early adopters." These testing programs include three months of free WeHead usage, although they admit to collecting audio and video data during this period. The product designers promise that the data is protected and "will not be used for publicizing or promoting WeHead."
