If you thought Wehead GPT was bizarre, check out this ChatGPT-powered plush koala bear by Spiritual_Aside_7859 on Reddit. A Raspberry Pi board and Arduino Uno R4 make it possible to interface ChatGPT with the onboard hardware, including an ultrasonic sensor to detect when objects, like humans, are nearby.
A ChatGPT-powered plush isn’t that creepy on paper, but the mini OLED monitor crammed into the koala’s eye-socket makes it appear to be something from Five Nights at Freddy’s. Yes, there are some bugs in this first version, so the next upgrades will be improving speech recognition and adding a mouth display.

Lastly I wanted the assistant to be more interactive which is possible to do with more than one ultrasonic sensor but I decided that facial recognition just sounds way cooler for a robot. The person sensor in the second video allows my assistant to follow my every move which is both kinda of eerie but also really cool,’ said Spiritual_Aside_7859.
