The post discusses a new project called Merliot, which aims to integrate physical devices with large language models (LLMs). One exciting application brought up in the comments involves using informal speech commands to control unmanned boats. By utilizing speech-to-text technology that feeds into an LLM, users can issue commands in natural language, such as directing unmanned boats to move specific distances. This highlights the potential for LLMs to interpret and execute real-world tasks based on conversational inputs, thereby enhancing automation in various fields. The community shows interest in experimenting with these integrations, indicating a growing fascination with the practical applications of AI and robotics in everyday operations.
