Advanced Voice's arrival makes ChatGPT more sci-fi-like than ever

OpenAI just announced via X/Twitter that the Advanced Voice feature is finally being released to ChatGPT. This exciting update allows users to have more natural spoken-language conversations with the chatbot, bringing us yet another step closer to Her becoming reality. Advanced Voice isn't just "ChatGPT with text-to-speech" -- it uses its underlying GPT-4o technology to analyze the tone and speed of your voice and pick up on non-verbal cues like body language, then itself responds with emotion in its own voice. With five new voices, ChatGPT feels more alive than ever. The responses come faster so it feels like you're holding a real-time conversation, and the update improves accents in (certain) non-English languages.
