We’ve got ourselves a whale of a Raspberry Pi project on our hands today. A maker and developer known as TheAmateurRunner over on Reddit has brought the classic Big Mouth Billy Bass into the modern era, with a little help from our favorite SBC. If you’re not familiar with this talking fish, it was a popular wall-mounted decoration from the early 2000s, known for singing and generally startling anyone who walked by, until the motion sensor was swapped out for a button.
According to TheAmateurRunner, this is very much still a work in progress. But so far, they’ve managed to control the Big Mouth Bill Bass with a Raspberry Pi and successfully integrated ChatGPT. It flips its tail and turns its head to relay messages retrieved from ChatGPT. At the moment, the mouth doesn’t move, but this should be fixed with future updates.
