“In simple terms, Urtopia has integrated ChatGPT into its e-bike to provide voice interaction with the rider. For example, a rider can ask the e-bike how to change a flat tire, or for directions to a local bike shop that could do it for them. “
This should be in the_dunk_tank
ChatGPT doesn't know directions it just mimics what directions look like, you ask it to tell you how to get somewhere and it's just gonna hallucinate a journey for you.
Sounds intriguing tho
Begin your journey at the stone monument, where time is whispered by the sighing winds.
Follow the shadowy path north, walking for a distance measured not in miles but in faint murmurings of the somber oaks.
When you pass by the third Hemlock, look for a path bathed in otherworldly twilight gloom. This path is sheltered by the Veil of Lace - a grotesque overhang of thin, fibrous fungi that pulsates with a sickly light.
Pause and take a moment to breathe. Now begin assembling your bicycle.
I could get behind this. The world lost a lot when leprechauns stopped disguising themselves as old peasants to tell riddles to passing travelers. I want my bicycle to spirit me away to a meeting with an unassuming swamp witch who turns out to be a time goddess
i wonder if old people just liked sending travelers to their death, the blaming the 'fair folk' when confronted about it...

Kinda sounds like directions I'd get before GPS.
I haven't read the article but surely they have their own training data they've optimized this thing on? And I know ChatGPT API rolled out a couple months ago so I'd assume they have it talking with Google Maps or something. If I'm wrong then holy shit, relying on people to just not ask their talking bike for directions is a hell of a risk...
