Description:
ChatGPTs new voice mode is being shown off in various online clips by alpha testers, and its seriously impressive.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

ChatGPT just got a nifty new Advanced Voice Mode earlier this week , and although its only rolling out to a small subset of paying subscribers right now in alpha testing weve now been treated to various tasters of the
feature in action.

These are popping up online, on the likes of YouTube and X, with the lucky, chosen ChatGPT Plus users who have access to the feature showing it off
across a range of different tasks. As The Verge reports, these include requests to sing a song in a certain way, or imitate accents, through to tackling the nuances of correct pronunciation in languages.

If you recall, this functionality was actually revealed at the GPT-4o launch
a few months back. However, Advanced Voice Mode was delayed over apparent concerns around tightening up safety with the feature, but its now here, and very definitely in action as mentioned with some impressive results to boot.

For example, The Verge points out ChatGPT giving a lesson in the
pronunciation of French words to a user on YouTube , where the AI is pretty helpful.

Heres another example: a request to sing Happy Birthday in a soulful blues style. Or how about ChatGPT telling some jokes in difference voices (shy, angry)?

If youre keen to get in on the action yourself, weve been told by OpenAI that all ChatGPT Plus subscribers will get Advanced Voice Mode later this year.
The full rollout should be completed by the end of fall so everyone should have it by the time December gets here, in theory. Analysis: 50 shades of
cool

If youve checked out the above demos pretty cool, huh? If not, get checking

Theres some serious attention to detail exhibited in terms of making the Advanced Voice Mode seem more human-like and real note the self-imposed artificial level of difficulty incorporated into counting to 50
super-quickly, including a pause for breath, a really neat touch.

Or the blues singing excursion, which isnt just about the actual singing which is nicely implemented, for sure but the in-depth explanations of how the singer might approach the song, and natural style and delivery of the AI voice here (and elsewhere). These AI interactions are driven to new heights
of realism here, even if there are still wrinkles to be addressed.

In terms of the latter, we werent so impressed with the US accents though this was a big old ask, and they were a little better when the user asked ChatGPT to emphasize them more. And while the AI responses are generally very quick and to the point and fluid theres the odd moment of silence and confusion to be witnessed, when viewing a range of these clips online.

Remember, though, Advanced Voice Mode is still in alpha, and given that, its really quite impressive strikingly good in some scenarios. This could be one of the areas in which AI moves so fast, that it becomes scary You might also like...
