TRENDING AI NEWS

??? OpenAI Begins Rolling Out Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT

What happened: OpenAI has started rolling out its new advanced voice mode for ChatGPT to a small number of ChatGPT Plus subscribers. This feature, initially showcased at the GPT-4o launch event in May, had been delayed due to safety concerns and similarities to Scarlett Johansson's voice.

Here’s the deets:

  • As advertised last May, the new voice mode is noticeably more capable than the current voice mode, allowing for interruptions and dynamic adjustments to responses.
  • Though video and screen-sharing features, shown in OpenAI’s early demo, will be available at a later date.
  • Advanced Voice Mode uses GPT-4o to detect emotions in users' voices, such as sadness, excitement, or singing.
  • New filters have also been added to recognize and block requests to generate music or other copyrighted audio.
  • The mode will use only four preset voices created with voice actors, avoiding impersonation of individuals or public figures.

OpenAI delayed the release by a month to improve the model's ability to detect and refuse certain content.

??OpenAI said that they’ve emailed instructions to the initial ‘Alpha’ group chosen for early access. Are you one of them? ??
