You know, I think you’re right. Wipes isn’t “dad,” it’s “eyes.” That makes more sense. “My friend’s eyes had that.” Not sure how I botched that one, but it was late last night.
Cockney slang is tricky. Some of it is rhymes. So “Tom Hanks” is “thanks” and “baked bean” is “queen.”
“Bummer. My friend’s dad had that. National Health Service figured it out. It’s glaucoma, right? You should probably go to the doctor and have them check it out.”
Also FWIW — You’re not exactly displaying any of the first two concepts in your posts. I’ll end it with that, as I don’t like to engage in political arguments and am not intending to start here.
Not really a good idea; tons of security risks with Win 7 these days. (Just Google ‘Windows 7 security risk’.) I’d recommend upgrading to Win 10 at least.
Everything you mentioned either exists right now or can essentially happen with today’s tech.
Speak to the TV? Possible right now. But you probably would still prefer talking through its remote. The distance factor is a problem. You don’t want to be yelling into its mic from 8-10 feet away. Of course, it could be possible for the TV to support a wireless external mic port — but then of course you’re not really talking “to the TV” anymore. Better to have the mic close by your mouth. Which brings us to…
Speak to the remote? check. (Apple TV, Roku Ultra, etc.)
Speak to some other device you’re watching? Check. (PC with microphone and digital assistant / voice control, or….iPhone or Android phone, for that matter.)
AI analyzing the content of live video information from a camera? Check. ChatGPT can do that, as well as others.
What I’m saying is that we’re already there. The remote that I described can essentially be done today, if anyone wanted to build it.
Somebody will probably soon invent an AI remote control that can tell you where it is. You say something like “Remote, where are you?” and it’s listening for that key word or phrase. When it hears it, it activates its camera. The AI analyzes the view from the camera and describes it to you with its voice function. “I appear to be under a white cushion.”
