“In simple terms, Urtopia has integrated ChatGPT into its e-bike to provide voice interaction with the rider. For example, a rider can ask the e-bike how to change a flat tire, or for directions to a local bike shop that could do it for them. “

For example, a rider can ask the e-bike how to change a flat tire, or for directions to a local bike shop that could do it for them.
ChatGPT doesn't know directions it just mimics what directions look like, you ask it to tell you how to get somewhere and it's just gonna hallucinate a journey for you.
Ok Chat GPT, give me back my seat post.
Why do all of these gee-whiz FutureBike^TM^ manufacturers hate the downtube so much?
there is this weird candy bar shaped thing called smartphone which can do exactly that
why.
The real answer is that some executive who has never seen a bike in person heard that ChatGPT and AI is the Next Big Thing, so they went to a meeting and said "We need to integrate AI into our products" and all the employees who actually work in the field sighed, rolled their eyes and tried to make the least idiotic result possible.
You can't begin to imagine how dumb these people are.
"Hey, I think my bike is broken... No matter what prompt I give it, it only responds 'lol, you spent way too much for your bike'"
Training my bike chatGPT exclusively on /r/bicyclingcirclejerk data and all it does is call me fat and tells me to buy a cé´r´vé´ló
Goddammit, I was interested in this bike too. I've wanted an e-bike that's lightweight and has a belt-drive. This checked nearly every box but I knew something was up. Their whole site reeks of tech-bro.
With zero knowledge, I don't like that frame at all.
Me neither, but it goes 40km/h and it only weighs 15kg. I go up and down stairs, so the weight's important to me. I haven't found anything else that's comparable that's also belt driven. Every e-bike seems like a compromise. I'm hoping soon there will be more standardization regarding features in the industry, so I could just put my own ebike together.
