> eSelf’s early pitch is that its agents’ current query/interaction response time is under 1.7 seconds — which it claims is faster, and thus more lifelike, than voice responses from other leading companies like OpenAI
I'm curious how this is measured; my experience with the OAI Realtime API is much faster than 1.7s. Time to first token feels like 200ms.
They are embarrassing, and often offensive: are you lazy? Terrible at your job? Hate your family? Use our AI assistant to replace your humanity!
If they had a real product with a real use case then they would be selling that instead of this weird stuff.
I know this bubble will retort: but muh productivity!
But please keep in mind that programmers are a minority of a minority and these companies are uninterested in merely giving you specifically a better coding assistant than web search and forums.

The ad buys on network tv are proof enough.
