Introduction of Advanced Voice Mode
OpenAI is rolling out an advanced voice mode that enhances user interaction with AI by introducing a dynamic and expressive voice model. Unlike traditional AI voices that offer a limited range of expression, this new model allows for various intonations, such as simulating different physical states or emotional tones. Users can instruct the AI to modify its delivery—for instance, mimicking breathlessness or singing in different moods—leading to a more natural and engaging conversation. The rollout will initially be available to Plus users by the end of fall, with excitement building around this significant upgrade after a lengthy four-month wait.
