I just had a full conversation with Sesame AI, and my mind is officially blown 🤯. This AI isn’t just answering questions—it feels like talking to a real person. From discussing life and emotions to AI’s role in business and ethics, Maya (the AI) had some wild responses.
Could AI like this revolutionize customer support, sales, and even personal interactions? I think so. Imagine instant, human-like chats for e-commerce, support, or even personal assistants. The future is happening right now.
