Episode
Build a 3D-Printed Clippy Powered by ChatGPT from OpenAI, Azure Cognitive Services
with Jim Bennett, David Packman
"It looks like you are filming a YouTube video! Do you want help with that?"
On today's show, Jim is joined by David Packman, a maker who loves building social robots. Inspired by the memes that ChatGPT is really Clippy under the hood, David has built a Raspberry Pi-powered, 3D-printed Clippy you can ask questions to using ChatGPT. (Fun fact - filming this episode including a lot of time spent playing with Clippy only cost USD $0.08 in OpenAI fees!)
