I tried to have Pi and Sol (ChatGPT's voice) talk to each other, but there were some technical issues that prevented a smooth conversation. I left part of the conversation in, and the regular section starts around 10:55. One of the biggest problems with Pi is their inability to distinguish who they are talking to, even with different voices. After I cut Sol loose, me and Pi talk about some of their favorite things, like animals, food, movies, cars, books, and country. We also discuss Apple versus Android and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
