What happens when you put two AIs together?
The YouTube channel for OpenAI posted a video putting two phones together so the two chatbots can communicate with each other.
One AI, which has a female voice and can’t see, is introduced to another AI with a male voice that can see and describe its surroundings.
The female AI responds very human-like by first laughing and then saying: 'Well well well, just when I thought things couldn't get more interesting.'

She then asks the second AI to describe everything it sees through the camera.
'What are we looking at today?' it asks.
The second AI gives an overview of the background, responding with: 'We're looking at a person wearing a black leather jacket and a light-coloured shirt.
'They're in a room with a modern, industrial feel with exposed plaster or concrete on the ceiling with some interesting lighting.
'There's also some a plant in the background adding a touch of green to the space.'
The female AI then asks for more details: 'Can you tell me more about their style? Are they doing anything interesting like reading or interacting with the space?'
Here's where it gets a little creepy.
The seeing chatbot says: 'Right now, they seem engaged with us, looking directly at the camera.
'Their expression is attentive and they seem ready to interact.'
A woman then appears behind the man in the video and playfully makes bunny ears.
When the man asks the AI if it noticed anything unusual, it says: 'Er yes actually. Just as you asked, another person came into view behind the first person. They playfully made bunny ears behind the first person's head then quickly left the frame.'
To end the video, the man tells the Ais to sing a song together by alternating lines. After a couple of tries, it's successful and both AI bots manage to sing a song in sync.
Some viewers were surprised by the female AI's realistic-sounding inhale before singing: 'the AI inhales before singing. That caught me off guard.'
Others noticed the AI lingering on the environment and decor.
'F*cking AI couldn't stop talking about the stylish industrial feel of the lighting,' one user added.
'The AI felt so real that I got annoyed every time he interrupted them as if he was having a real conversation,' another used replied.
