I noticed that Rufus popped up for me a few weeks ago in the Amazon app on my pocket supercomputer. It was late and I was bored when I first saw it, so I dinked around with it for a bit.<p>It was clearly and obviously ChatGPT, and it was stupendously simple to jailbreak it to do arbitrary ChatGPT things (by basically just giving it verbal permission to do so).<p>It wrote some dummy code for me. It dabbled around with fairly simple physics questions. (I don't verify any of the output -- I was just goofing around.)<p>By the very next day, I couldn't get it to do any of that at all, but it was still capable of having a potentially-productive conversation about stuff for sale on Amazon. I expected that this might develop into something actually-useful at some point, and it seemed like it was getting closer.<p>But more recently, it doesn't even remember what the last prompt was, so conversations (even about product details that would help me make a purchase) are a foregone conclusion.<p>Thus, Rufus is presently approximately as annoying and devoid of context with its insipid repetitiousness as my nearly-useless Alexa devices are.
