Need help acing your upcoming job interview? Maybe you need a way to have more “rice” (Gen Z’s term for “charisma”) for your next date? Then try the ChatGPT glasses from Stanford student Bryan Hau-Ping Chiang. It uses rizzGPT, which Chang described as “Charisma as a real-time service (CasS).”
ChatGPT glasses bring together GPT-4, OpenAI’s latest major language model, with AI Whisper voice recognition software and Monocle AI glasses. As a result, the gadget looks like ordinary glasses with thick frames with a giant glass glued on one of the lenses. It looks silly, but it offers numerous possibilities for artificial intelligence and augmented reality.
I’ll explain how ChatGPT glasses work and their potential real-world applications. I will also cover similar AI projects so you can see how these technologies can change our lives. The ChatGPT glasses are an experiment, but it’s more likely that other AI devices will appear soon.
How do ChatGPT glasses work?
Computer science and electrical engineering student Bryan Hau-Ping Chiang created rizzGPT before creating ChatGPT glasses. It uses GPT-4 to usher in “a new era of AR + AI-enabled ambient computing, where everyone has their own personal assistant 24/7.”
As a result, he joked that it would provide “real-time Charisma as a Service (CaaS).” Chang also shared a video demonstration of the experimental gadget on Twitter.
It allows viewers to see through the eyes of someone looking through ChatGPT glasses. The video showed the monocle projecting responses to ChatGPT.
Allows the user to read a recommended response during a job interview or meeting. More importantly, Chiang put image recognition features into the gadget.
The ChatGPT glasses trained on their friend’s smartphone photos and messages. As a result, he immediately offers statements as soon as he finds Chiang’s friend.
The Stanford student believed that someone could deploy the glasses during “awkward encounters” so that the wearer could have an engaging conversation. It can also enhance the dining experience.
Let’s say you and your significant other can’t decide what to eat. ChatGPT glasses can analyze the menu you’re browsing to suggest dishes based on your dietary needs.

However, Chang understands its limitations. One obvious problem is the giant round lens that overlaps one of the lenses. You will look awkward if you wear deformed glasses during a job application or a first date.
As a result, rizzGPT glasses are more likely to give you “L rizz” (charisma loss) before the AI wing activates. In addition, the prototype needs numerous improvements.
It needs longer battery life, lighter weight, a smaller frame and faster response time to become a useful consumer product. Still, Chang and the other researchers remain optimistic, saying “there’s a lot more to build on here.”
Are there other AR projects in development?

The public release of ChatGPT glasses could take months or years. However, other companies are more likely to release their AI gadgets soon.
For example, Google is testing a new Google Lens feature to help people read illegible doctor’s notes. Google India says, “Today we announced a state-of-the-art AI and machine learning model that can identify and even highlight medications within handwritten prescriptions.”
Also, Chinese tech firm Xiaomi unveiled its AR Glass Discovery Edition at the Mobile World Congress on March 1, 2023. Its main feature allows users to control physical devices and digital media with hand gestures.

MIT is also busy adding new features to existing AR glasses. For example, MIT installed a new program to the Microsoft Hololens 2 so that people can see through solid objects.
Augmented reality is also becoming a powerful medical tool. Dr. Safa Kassab, the chief of surgery at Trinity Health Oakland Hospital, uses AR glasses to perform knee replacement surgery.
Conclusion
Stanford University students developed ChatGPT glasses that serve as AI guides. They say it will guide people through dates and job applications to achieve their goals.
The researchers admit that their prototype is far from ready for consumers. However, it’s possible we’ll see a functional version soon based on how quickly technology advances.
