  • In this video I use a broken 1980s "Realistic" intercom to build the sickest AI assistant you've ever seen.

      Interesting to note, if you like them, groove armadas first big track used this quirk to improvise a microphone that was missing from their recording studio. the brass instrument you hear in 'at the river' is recorded from that

    Love this idea. I bought an old red dial telephone a few years ago with plans to turn it into an "AI Batphone" which only listened and responded when you used the receiver. (And also light up and make sounds). Yeah, the Raspberry Pi wasn't as good as I wanted it to be for the voice command detection.

What about getting a "Teddy Ruxpin" bear toy from the 80's and putting your AI code/bits into it, but work out how the "cassette" driven signal commands fed the toy and made it move (as well as the audio)... so you can ask Teddy questions and the answers come back but with controlled movement as well... 😲 🤣
