- 2Conversational translationA demonstrator asks ChatGPT to translate between coworkers.
- 3Triangle tutoringThe assistant guides a student through the triangle and corrects an incorrect side identification.
Takeaways
- The first excerpt shows a request for conversational translation.
- The second shows an assistant asking a student to identify triangle sides relative to an angle.
- When the student guesses AC is the hypotenuse, the assistant identifies it as the adjacent side.

Translation between coworkers
Berman introduces the voice demos. A demonstrator asks the assistant to translate a conversation.
OpenAI recently held its spring updates event, and I’m impressed by some of the voice assistant demonstrations. In one excerpt, a person asks ChatGPT to act as a translator between coworkers. The exchange begins with a question about how the other person has been and a response about preparing for an event.
Guidance on a triangle
The assistant asks a student about triangle sides relative to an angle. It identifies AC as the adjacent side after the student’s uncertain guess.
In another excerpt, the assistant asks a student to identify the opposite side, adjacent side and hypotenuse relative to angle alpha in a triangle. After confirming the angle, it asks the student to choose the hypotenuse. The student tentatively points to AC; the assistant says AC is the adjacent side. This excerpt is a demonstration, not a comprehensive test of tutoring accuracy.
