OpenAI’s ChatGPT Now Offers Free Voice Feature to All Users
- OpenAI has made the voice feature of ChatGPT available to all users for free.
- Previously, the feature was only available to paying users.
- Users can now interact with ChatGPT using their voice through the mobile app, and receive an audible response.
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI announced that it has opened up the voice feature of ChatGPT to all users. Previously, this feature was only available to paying users. Now, users can tap the headphones icon on the mobile app to interact with ChatGPT using their voice and receive an audible response. This move by OpenAI aims to enhance the user experience and make ChatGPT more accessible to a wider audience.
This development comes after OpenAI faced internal turmoil with the sudden ousting of their CEO and a messy negotiation for his return. Nonetheless, OpenAI has continued to work on improving its technologies and making them available to users.
OpenAI’s Efforts to Improve ChatGPT
OpenAI first introduced the capability to prompt ChatGPT with voice and images back in September. Initially, this feature was limited to a select group of paying users. The decision to expand this capability to all users for free demonstrates OpenAI’s commitment to refining and democratizing its AI technologies.
By allowing users to interact with ChatGPT using their voice, OpenAI aims to create a more dynamic and natural conversation experience for users. This feature opens up possibilities for users to engage with the AI system in a way that is closer to how humans interact with one another.
The Timing of the Announcement
The timing of this announcement is noteworthy, as it comes amidst the internal turmoil at OpenAI. The ongoing drama surrounding the CEO’s departure and potential return has likely had an impact on the organization.
