- Chatgpt subscribers paid obtain an improved voice mode that is more human than before
- You can also handle live translations to other languages
- Some minor problems remain
All chatgpt users in paid plans (so that is more, professionals, equipment and business users) simply obtained a small update pleasant to their advanced capabilities in voice mode that makes it sound much more natural and human when it speaks to you.
Described by OpenAi as “significant”, the improvements improve the intonation and naturalness of the voices in the advanced chatgpt voice. These are small adjustments, but it is often the small details that make all the difference in making a voice realistic sounds realistic.
If you listen carefully now, there is a more subtle intonation and a realistic cadence in the voice of Chatgpt, and has begun to include pauses for its emphasis. It also feels more natural when it expresses emotion, whether empathy or sarcasm.
In addition to the improvements in the quality of the voice, Openai has added a better translation between languages. Now you can say something like: “Can you translate this into Spanish?”, And Chatg translates everything you say in Spanish until you tell yourself to stop.
The applications that can do this, such as Google Translate, already exist, of course, but being able to do everything within the chatgpt application on your phone is useful and convenient.
Better than before
I have tried the advanced voice mode after the update, and certainly sounds different from before. You can have an immediate flavor of how it sounds when asking you to say something sarcastic. When you do, you will listen to the new tonal range that chatgpt uses and the way you use pauses with great effect.
I compared this to ask Gemini live exactly the same, and the new Chatgpt voice mode had a much richer expression of emotions.
It is also interesting to compare the quality of the voice in a free chatgpt account with chatgpt in a paid account now, the difference is really like night and day.
Man or machine?
The new chatgpt is certainly more similar to a human, but I would not say that it reaches the level even where it could fool anyone who was a real human.
There are still some oddities similar to the computer that deviate from time to time when you are in Chatgpt using the voice mode. In fact, Openai is aware of this and has issued a note about its limitations, saying:
“In the tests, we have observed that this update can occasionally cause lower decreases in audio quality, including unexpected variations in tone and tone. These problems are more notable with certain voice options. We hope to improve the consistency of audio over time.”
He also issued a warning about hallucinations:
“In addition, rare hallucinations in the voice mode persist with this update, resulting in unwanted sounds that resemble ads, galimas or background music. We are actively investigating these problems and working towards a solution.”
The update is already live, simply touch the icon of the voice composer to the right in the message of the message composer inside the chatgpt application on your phone to use it.
