OpenAI recently announced that it was launching its new Advanced Voice Mode feature to select ChatGPT Plus subscribers. The upgrade promises a more interactive conversational experience, allowing users to carry on a more natural-feeling exchange and enabling the AI to better understand and respond to emotional cues.
OpenAI says that it has conducted extensive testing, involving over 100 external experts across 45 languages to ensure the safety and quality of the new feature. To protect user privacy, the model is restricted to four preset voices, and rigorous systems have been implemented to prevent the generation of unauthorized voices or harmful content.
ChatGPT has been in the headlines a lot over the past few months, especially with the growing industry adoption of AI for different fields and applications. A while back, Nothing announced that it’s brought over ChatGPT to several of its smartphones and audio products.
Going back to Advanced Voice Mode, Open AI states that it plans to gradually expand access to all Plus subscribers by fall, with video and screen sharing capabilities to follow. OpenAI will release a detailed report on GPT-4o’s capabilities, limitations, and safety evaluations this coming August.
