Stanford University students create ‘Rizz GPT’ for AR glasses

In this regard, the young Stanford team are aiming to close the gap between the haves and have nots with the invention of Rizz GPT.  This tweaked version of ChatGPT-4 is designed purely to provide its user with witty and interesting responses to their date in real time.

The program reportedly listens through Whisper AI-based speech recognition and quickly formulates replies to keep the conversation flowing and dynamic.

The bad news with the current prototype is that generated answers can only be seen while wearing a pair of garish AR glasses with a built-on monocle. The good news, however, is RizzGPT will help you navigate your way through that awkward explanation.

In all seriousness, the concept is more an experimental exploration of AI meets AR than a bonafide life hack and it is undoubtedly cool. The team refers to this type of product as ‘Charisma as a Service’ (or CaaS) and points out that it has many possible uses for those with a more anxious disposition.

You could see how using live prompts, either pre-prepared or generated on the fly, would help someone wrap their head around public speaking or preparing for a job interview, for instance. On the latter, turning up wearing the device is probably a no go until AR lenses roll out.

When it comes to dating successfully, though, unfortunately ChatGPT largely fails to understand the nuances of wooing in the real world – as documented by Chelsea Ritschel’s hilarious case study at The Independent.

It’s safe to say that Rizz GPT probably won’t land you your twin flame, but we’re intrigued to see what else AI and AR has in store.
