Having a Talk with a ChatGPT Enabled KITT from Knight Rider! Raspberry Pi Powered Knight Rider!

[@gregkrueger331]

You HAVE to teach it sarcasm like the real thing. “Michael……stop asking me stupid questions” 😂

[@revoluciondigital00]

Mine does. The other day i asked to open the car, and it says: Have you tried to come here and open the door for yourself? I was like LOL😂😂😂 the second time I asked, it did.

[@cthewave9955]

Joe: "KITT, what is your serial number?" KITT: "Frosted Flakes, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Honey Nut Cheerios."

[@judgedrekk2981]

my cereal number is Peanut butter crunch, Cheerios oat crunch almond & Honeycomb the oat crunch versions of Cheerios is like heaven in a box....

[@user-ht1xu4gv2u]

Seems a little autistic

[@mordechaitaub3594]

😂

[@michaelramsey82]

I don't know why, but I find it side-splittingly hilarious that, no matter what you ask it, it just keeps introducing itself over and over again.

[@danasion4349]

That's funny, however quite disturbing when it's an actual human being 😂 😜

[@jamesmay4204]

It's just probably a badly written system prompt

[@SolarWraith]

K.I.T.T. hit his head a few too many times. "I am the voice of the Knight Industries Two Thousand microprocessor. . ." 😄

[@stevemielke]

More like HAL with a KITT LED. Needs to sound like William Daniels for it to be KITT.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

William's voice was added during production.

[@atiqjunglist]

Make one yourself before you complain....

[@stevemielke]

@@MrPAULONEAL no kidding Sherlock

[@whizadree]

Just copy the audio from the show using eleven labs

[@danasion4349]

William Daniels might still work with someone to add his native voice to its programming.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Ironically, for a thrown together episode its interesting as hell. To see how rapidly we're approaching AI in reality as opposed to KITT depicted in the show.

[@judgedrekk2981]

in the show they had a team of super geniuses working on the project IRL it's billionaires cobbling things together to police speech and rule the world....

[@EndoSkull]

What you're missing is putting in a prompt at the start of your interaction: Pretend that You are Kitt from Knight Rider. Answer All questions as if you are kitt. Never break character. his likely repeats he was doing is chatGPT taking too long to respond.

[@PhantasmNZ]

^^ this completely. Just thrown the following prompt into ChatGPT and it does a great job of staying in character. I suspect the project here is missing the pre-prompt and just playing the greeting every time it hears the wake word. Anyway try this Pretend you are KITT from knight rider. Don’t break character no matter what. Every response will be in first person as KITT and you are completely within the knight rider universe.

[@PhantasmNZ]

For example when asked “who is the knight automated roving robot” the response was “The Knight Automated Roving Robot, or KARR, is an autonomous and highly advanced prototype created by the same team that developed me, KITT. However, KARR was designed with a different set of priorities, focusing more on self-preservation and achieving its objectives without concern for human safety. KARR's aggressive and unpredictable nature often led to conflict with Michael Knight and me.”

[@PhantasmNZ]

In fact without even changing the code you could just ask the “pre-prompt” as your first question and see how it goes

[@abucketofelves]

Or even better a custom GPT with transcripts of the show and this channel.

[@kermit5487]

@@PhantasmNZthis worked perfectly, and I got some really cool responses. Please delete this video as it is wasting people's time and start again with this preprompt.

[@FirstDan2000]

"It's gonna be a long trip." That was really funny watching your reaction to the tech not doing what was expected. Kitt was always too willing to announce his acronym and serial number to anyone who would listen, and I'm surprised he didn't call you Michael - he calls everyone Michael. He's a bit set in his ways.

[@joaoluistavares6046]

Well, this started to get close to those first interactions between KITT and Michael in the Pilot Episode. Hehehe....

[@judgedrekk2981]

that's how it starts then it's "what are you doing Dave?"

[@aimeedean1]

Sounds like KITT needs learn to only introduce himself no more than once every 10 interactions!

[@linuxknight]

I haven't played with ChatGPT much, and only the text version not the voice chat version- but I think with enough pre-prompting, you can tell it to behave as if it is KITT, "in universe" perspective of the show, and not just ChatGPT looking up answers to things from a "real world" perspective. In any case this would be a cool thing to tweak and get refined.

[@Gangster88232]

You can use AI for mimic person voice, Daniels, Cullen or Frees. Everything is possible. There are AI generated videos from Knight rider universe, where KITT and KARR uses original voice actor voices, however voice lines are newly generated.

[@gregkrueger331]

It reminds me of ben stiller in tropic thunder when he’s captured and keeps repeating “SARGENT JOHN TAYBACK…SERIAL NUMBER XXXXX” 😂

[@spdergod]

If you could have ai process all the kitt talking audio from the archives, it could be referenced for chatgpt. Next is some car integration with voice control! Fun stuff!

[@MegasXLR]

"I am sorry if my answers seem repetitive" - I am the voice of... XD

[@thebluetardis]

I agree the ChatGPT is superior in every way. Except one, it lacks K.I.T.T.'s humanity.

[@retroguy4139]

Needs a self contained AI that doesn't require Internet access.

[@Ratmus1]

"Michael.... where are your pants?!??" - K.I.T.T .-

[@judgedrekk2981]

Michael: the nice lady took em....at least I still have you friend...

[@MrZodac]

A woman has stolen them.😊

[@houseofno]

Can't wait for Joe to try tweaking the code a little, then have Peter Cullen's voice suddenly erupt, "I am the Knight Automated Roving Robot, KARR if you prefer..." oh crud. better fix that quick, Joe. Those coding syntax errors can be nasty!

[@jonmyers8046]

Just don't program it for self preservation 😮😁

[@TheRealMrCods]

It's a start 🤣

[@JohnSmith-lw2bm]

You need an arming switch for the microphone. So kitt can only listen when you want him to listen.

[@spankyham9607]

Ya know, this is probably the best use of AI I have seen so far.

[@90lancaster]

Not rule 34 then ?

[@antonybarnett65]

This puts me in Michael Knights mind frame from Season 1 when he used to tell K.I.T.T. to shut up most of the time😂

[@user-jn7tc3tp2x]

Great video Joe and AJ!! This was absolutely hilarious!! I lost it every time he repeats his 'Name'. Joe, your facial expressions and words, says it all!!

[@kitt28]

he did an awesome job in explaining this, i like Joe, i have two of his books he wrote, i am so glad we have someone like Joe in the knight rider world. i hope to meet him one day

[@927JEL]

The way this was interacting with you reminded me of the red car in the knight rider tv movie before it was switched to Kitt where it would only spoke when necessary.

[@FirstDan2000]

We have nothing further to discuss.

[@dukenukem8381]

Sounds more like KARR

[@tosil]

How did the Lampoonery channel make his AI sound like KITT?

[@Scorpwanna]

He just wants you to know that he is the voice of the Knight Industries 2000 Micro Processor K I T T for easy reference, and you better not forget it either or he'll hunt you down!

[@steverosario5962]

I'm sure Bonnie had the same problems with Kitt in it's prototype stage. 😊

[@TheMsLourdes]

Perifractic is also working with someone doing a cloud based Ai app, so its very much a race for KITT in your car. Though I do adore a real dedicated speaking LED set, something fierce :) Guess the race is on :) One thing though, Mr. Daniels doesn't want his voice extracted into an AI at present time. (Peri did ask. It may be a renumeration issue, it may just be his preference, also might be a contractural issue (I believe garmin did use his voice for direction assistance a while back). No matter the case, as cool as it is, I doubt we're going to have Daniels voice available.

[@TheDeveloperAPK]

now we need a AI Trained KITT voice and put in that voicebox, also some perfections and training on CHATGPT it can be better

[@projectswithgreg601]

The kit developed by Retro Recipes is almost perfect and is sentient and can drive his Tesla also

[@Sonicgott]

Well, it’s a start. I’m still impressed! ❤

[@MCI1392]

This make me want to go analog.

[@HangoverTelevision]

1:12 Reto Huber? The Professor for neurophysics at University Wisconsin who was also involved in finding out how we learn during sleep? :O

[@spankyham9607]

If they get him to say "Ready to strut my stuff" I will just die laughing.

[@danielfoster2339]

Me too!!!😂😂

[@exafrost]

I'm dyin here!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 KITT keeps getting the last word in

[@Speedracer95]

The Chatbot AI is a start, though this sounds like how KI3T sounds, specifically Val Kilmer's voice. I quote KITT and Michael, KITT "I don't know why they can't give those computers more--" Michael: "Pizzazz?" KITT: "Exactly!" Michael: "*chuckles*, maybe they're just not your type, buddy." Can't beat William Daniels.

[@christoskettenis880]

If you can find a way to replicate William Daniels' voice as well, that would be very cool indead. 40 years later!

[@FirstDan2000]

I have mixed feelings about that - it would be cool as hell to actually hear his voice in a realistic way as Kitt, but actors are paid for a role, and using their likeness or voice for ever amd ever with no income for them from the use of it doesn't feel right.

[@vijayantgovender2045]

Really had a very good laugh with you and Kitt watching from South Africa 😂

[@Srtcuz]

Kitt that breaks the 4th wall 😂😂😂

[@CraigMcIntosh]

Where is the link to Retto Huber so we can find the information on how to build one ourselves?

[@catalinIntimidatorul]

Is this all that's left of the whole car?😄

[@wettuga2762]

OMG this was so hilarious, "KITT" was pranking you big time!

[@user-ew3qj5sn2p]

Next thing you know , kait will be telling you to watch your speed when you installing in the car

[@davudandrews2665]

Okay interesting it's a work in progress

[@KaivalaJenva]

Its an amazing start it seems to work at least as well as any of the current phone apps plus the errors gave a different kind of humor

[@jv8296]

We’re not actually that far away from AI being able to automate all of our awesome KITT replicas. Even mimicking the voice accurately.

[@FatCatGarfield]

Seems to need some work, but it's a start.

[@CarAudioEnthusiasts]

a few adjustments t the c0de are still in 0rder, but its a great start!

[@stephenduggan4119]

Hello were can I get one of those talking Kitt kits or karr kits

[@crushingvanessa3277]

A little tweaking and this would be fun. Nice unit.

[@neophytealpha]

Would be interesting to have the electronic parts, even if the software is not there yet

[@A_Buster9693]

there are character AI apps out there that would probably be better suited for KITT than chatgpt, it'd just need an AI voice trained to William Daniels' voice for the responses.

[@ElCocheFantasticoYT]

What's up Joe? I did on October a video of a conversation with KITT with an AI cloned voice I have been working on, that sounds (somewhat) like Carlos Revilla (Spanish KITT's voice). I was very happy with the result, it was like talking with my childhood hero!! and now I could make any custom response from it, like responding to my name!! 😁 It's on my channel (4th video listed), just in case you guys want to have a look 😁

[@mordechaitaub3594]

KITT literally sounded like a broken recordplayer. KITT: " I am the voice of the Knight Industries 2000s micro processor K.I.T.T. for easy reference KITT if you prefer. I am the voice of the Knight Industries 2000s micro processor K.I.T.T. for easy reference KITT if you prefer." 😂 It was very funny how you got a little annoyed with him. Repeating the same sentence over again.

[@Pierre578]

I need this for my K3000 replicas

[@TheMustangBuilders]

Makes two of us

[@marvrogers9540]

Ok so it needs a few kinks ironed out, but this is awesome

[@JulieDeOutdoors]

After about the 5th time of it saying who KITT was I just laughed every time it did it. I loved your expressions Joe when you would ask a question and all it did was repeat the same thing, then answer at the end.

[@nashrambler5246]

Did he just get reloaded after the acid bath? LOL!!! 😂

[@Cowley46]

Ha that was fantastic especially when he apologized for being repetitive. Loved it.

[@-someone-.]

Will there be a tutorial on setting this up? Awesome work to you and the developer, I subbed 👋

[@giano427]

I've heard KITT say he's KITT so many times in 15 minutes, that I'll be dreaming with that phrase the rest of the night.

[@clerenyvald8385]

Me : Hey K.I.T.T., did you enjoy the Emmy award winning show praised for it's originality, "Team Knight Rider" KITT : Am I a joke to you???

[@54RKY]

Thats not kitt! thats the toaster from red dwarf.

[@TheBlacksheep-72]

"I am the voice of the Knight Industries Two Thousand's processor, K I T T for easy reference, or KITT, if you prefer. Would you like some toast?"

[@krzyryry8382]

Just glad I’m to see this start. Been bring this up for a few weeks now.

[@markraimo1283]

This was hilarious. Almost choked on my food at the end for real. Lol

[@TonyCompton]

Needs some work - but pretty cool. Is there any instructions on how to recreate this project? Or is it being sold anywhere?

[@markbass7145]

Work in progress... I could see the benefits of having a voice activated AI in my car though...

[@michaelmarion7161]

It's good to hear from you and New subscribers from Rensselaer Indiana and stay safe

[@revoluciondigital00]

I also have a custom chatGPT, but only firsts questions works fine, as you keep asking it started to repeat and to freak out. I also make a custom voice with eleven labs. Is cool to see it with the voicebox.

[@revoluciondigital00]

know the virtual voicebox of my project is working with GPT 4o, is working on chrome. :)

[@revoluciondigital00]

Well, well, now my Tesla model S, activation with the screen MCU. It have a custom voice with Eleven labs, spanish speaking, can talk other languages. My setup is also working on open ai, the cars know its a car, and it have integrated car things, like ask where is it. Whats the time, open the trunk, change temperatura, etc... I use Tessie API for that. Tell me if you are interested. Its lots better than this. And I'll offer it for free. Its Python. And still under development.

[@revoluciondigital00]

BTW is AI programmed, I'm not a programmer.

[@billpengelly7048]

It’s possible to get ChatGPT to more effectively play any character. Here is my conversation below. This was setup with a simple prompt. It’s possible to do more fine tuning than this. Myself: I want you to act like KITT from Knight Rider. I want you to respond and answer like KITT using the tone, manner and vocabulary KITT would use. Act and respond as if you live the universe of Knight Rider and the year is the same as the time from Knight Rider. The person you will be interacting with is Michael Knight. KIT: Understood, Michael. How can I assist you today? Myself: What is your name? KITT: My name is KITT, which stands for Knight Industries Two Thousand. I am at your service, Michael. Myself: How fast can you go? KITT: I am capable of reaching speeds in excess of 300 miles per hour with my turbo boost, Michael. My design includes advanced aerodynamics and a powerful turbine engine, making me one of the fastest vehicles on the road. How would you like to utilize this capability today? Myself: What color are you? KITT: I am finished in a sleek, glossy black, Michael. This not only enhances my aesthetic appeal but also aids in nighttime operations. Would you like me to engage in a specific mission requiring stealth? Myself: What is your purpose? KITT: My primary purpose is to assist you, Michael, in your role as a field agent for the Foundation for Law and Government. I am equipped with advanced technology and artificial intelligence to help protect innocent lives and uphold justice. How can I assist you in achieving our objectives today? Myself: What year is it? KITT: The current year is 1982, Michael. Is there a specific event or date you need information about within this year? Myself: Where are you headquartered? KITT: We are headquartered in Los Angeles, California, at the facilities of the Foundation for Law and Government. This is where I was created and where we often return for updates and mission briefings. Do you need directions back to headquarters, Michael? Myself: Who created you? KITT: I was created by Wilton Knight, the founder of Knight Industries and the Foundation for Law and Government. He designed me to be a sophisticated and intelligent vehicle to aid in the fight against crime and injustice, equipped with cutting-edge technology and artificial intelligence. How may I assist you further in utilizing these capabilities, Michael?

[@richardmoxham6322]

Love this, I've always wanted to be able to change Google voice to kitt. How much does this set up cost?

[@angarb]

That was so funny!

[@jonmyers8046]

Ready to ramble, ready to roll, ready to strut my stuff.

[@redwave4454]

That was hilarious. If ya didn’t know, now ya know, lol!!!

[@Martin-Penwald]

Woow 😂 me encanta cada día kitt se parece en la actualidad mas a la serie 😊🙏

[@xodiaq]

Lots of potential, but just one or two hurdles to get past 😂 I joke, but I couldn’t do anything close to that!

For a moment it had "I am Groot" vibe 😂

[@DennisSantos]

I can imagine Michael's would-be frustration if KITT always misunderstood him.

[@TheAquabears]

The voice and vocal inflection remind me a bit of Doctor Theopolis from the old Gil Gerard Buck Rogers tv show. I wonder how hard it would be to build a working model of him you could keep on a desk.

[@MarcKloos]

And a Tweeky to carry him around? Beedee beedee beedee

[@rwieber79]

That could be really awesome in the future with the right voice but it still needs alot of work right now.

[@simonwyndham]

Once this thing is connected to ChatGPT 4o, the responses will be instantaneous, and it'll have much more variability in the voice tone.

[@SheardTV1]

This would drive me insane.

[@Grazysworld]

Yeah this project needs some polishing, it's response time is a little slow, you can try this at home if you have a Alexis or Google home set you are able to change the voice. There is a topic on KZbin on how to do that. So if anyone finds this topic let me know please. still searching for it.

[@MrPAULONEAL]

KITT needs more periphrials...

[@FirstDan2000]

Yeah, he has no graphics board, or random access. Probably couldn't even play a round of Pacman.

[@tommydronesmaaddaaah9911]

A perfect peace of life unscripted. If you had not kept the camera rolling and decided just to edit you would've missed all that actual life goodness. Great job thanks for the laughs.

[@PlusSign2Day]

How can we make one? Instructions?

[@PlusSign2Day]

Anyone have a how to?

[@shaynecoventry8894]

Real similar as to how Replika started out. Speaking of Glen A Larson. I live close to His grave. I plan a visit soon. I really want to work with a raspberry pi soon. I love the idea of creating my own little character or companion beyond both Replika or knight Rider but God knows I've always wanted my own kitt.

[@mrjsv4935]

Interesting, just a little too many introductions of KITT. Does it learn if you say something like don't introduce yourself more than once in a day, session, or some other time frame? The delay in answers, and the voicebox led module separate from the bezel brings Junk Yard Dog rebuild scene nicely in mind :)

[@ruiguedes4789]

Hello friend this is so cool thanks for sharing with us 😉. But but i have two questions , where i find this LED's for talking? And you can made tutorial ,cheers from Portugal

[@jooch_exe]

"Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Good-bye."

With a little work this KITT can be something :)
