OpenAI is starting to roll out an advanced voice mode to select ChatGPT Plus users. This feature was first previewed in May at an OpenAI event, but concerns were raised when one of the previewed voices, dubbed “Sky,” sounded a little too similar to Scarlett Johansson’s voice. The tool was initially slated to launch in late June, but the AI firm delayed it, citing safety reasons.
It appears that these concerns have been resolved, given that OpenAI has announced the rollout of this new tool in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. In the post, OpenAI shared, “We’re starting to roll out advanced voice mode to a small group of ChatGPT Plus users. Advanced voice mode offers more natural, real-time conversations, allows you to interrupt anytime, and senses and responds to your emotions.”
