I tried out OpenAI's new AI keypad — which will be fun for some coders and slightly mystifying to everyone else
OpenAI's fancy new AI keypad will be a lot of fun for some, while many others are probably not going to touch it.
TL;DR
- OpenAI launched its first hardware, the Micro keypad, a specialty keyboard designed to pair with ChatGPT.
- The keypad has six customizable "agent" keys and six command keys, and can be connected via Bluetooth or USB.
- A key feature is the voice dictation button for sending commands to ChatGPT.
- Customization and settings for the Micro keypad can be adjusted within ChatGPT.
- The device has received largely negative reviews from hardcore coders, with some calling it a "prank" and too expensive at $230.
- Despite a learning curve, the reviewer found it enjoyable and efficient for personal use once programmed.
- The utility of the Micro keypad is heavily dependent on the user's frequency of ChatGPT use.
