The much awaited OpenAI ‘advanced audio’ chat is all set to come to your ChatGPT. On Tuesday OpenAI said that it’s most loved chatbot can now give you a ‘more natural’ conversation. With the new update you can experience smooth conversations, just like we do with humans.
On September 24, OpenAI wrote in an official blog that its ‘advanced voice’ feature will roll out to ChatGPT users . As of now the feature is only available to ChatGPT plus users. So, here’s how the new feature is going to change your ‘conversation with AI’ experience.
OpenAI rolls ‘advanced voice’ mode for ChatGPT
According to OpenAI’s official blog, the feature will continue to roll out during this entire week. Notably, the feature is not yet available in EU countries, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway, or the U.K, the company highlighted.
Early news showed that this ‘human-like’ voice feature of ChatGPT had initially faced a backlash. Popular Hollywood actors and actresses had alleged it of copying their voice without their consent. This had delayed the launch from May end to July end. After all the fighting, it’s finally here!
How cool can it be if artificial intelligence (AI) could talk with you? Yes, that’s what OpenAI is aiming for with its ‘advanced voice’ mode. With the new feature you get five distinct voices. Additionally, the voices come with support for over 50 languages. Now, that’s a long list of languages! You get to interact with ChatGPT with any language you want. Please note that to get these features, you need to update your existing ChatGPT.
What’s next
The ‘advanced voice’ feature will also allow you to hear responses in different accents. In addition to this the ‘advanced voice’ also includes the ability to customize instructions. Moreover you get the scope for greater personalisation. For example you can set specific preferences for how the AI interacts through voice.
Initially the rollout got plenty of publicity because of a voice named ‘ Sky’. This voice sounded similar to Scarlett Johansson in the 2013 movie “Her.” This raised a lot of chaos and the actress filed a legal case. So, after a long delay and a certain legal process, the feature finally got rolled out. To keep up with the excitement, Sam Altman showed a cheering approach with a social media post. On Tuesday “Hope you think it was worth the wait,” Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO and co-founder, wrote in an X (earlier Twitter) post.
