OpenAI has started rolling out its advanced Voice Mode feature. Starting today, a small number of paying ChatGPT users will be able to have a tete-a-tete with the AI chatbot. All ChatGPT Plus members should receive access to the expanded toolset by the fall of this year.<\/p>\n
In an announcement<\/a> on X, the company said this advanced version of its Voice Mode “offers more natural, real-time conversations, allows you to interrupt anytime, and senses and responds to your emotions.”<\/p>\n We\u2019re starting to roll out advanced Voice Mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users.

ChatGPT-4o uses a single multimodal model for the voice capabilities rather than the three separate models used by its previous audio solution, decreasing the latency in conversations with the chatbot.<\/p>\n OpenAI drew a lot of criticism at the May demo for debuting a voice option that sounded uncannily like Scarlett Johansson, whose acting career included voicing AI character Samantha in Spike Jonze’s film Her<\/em>. The release date for advanced Voice Mode was delayed<\/a> shortly after the backlash. Even though the company insisted that the voice actor was not imitating Johansson’s performance, the similar-sounding voice was since taken out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
