Bringing KITT from Knight Rider to life using ChatGPT and a Raspberry Pi 4

The Knight Rider Historians’ YouTube channel recently showed off an excellent KITT replica that uses a Raspberry Pi and ChatGPT to work as an interactive prop.

This KITT prop is designed to resemble the voice box from the car. It listens for audio input and processes it using speech-to-text so that the data can be parsed to ChatGPT. From there, ChatGPT generates a response in the way KITT would speak. This text is then transposed into audio played while the LEDs flash to mimic how they would flash on the original show.

They use a Raspberry Pi 4 to control the operation. It’s connected to a USB mic and USB speaker for audio input and output.
