#42Am I the only one who doesn't like these specific voices? The quality is incredible, but they feel too cheery/enthusiastic/casual and it just gets annoying after a while. I made an iOS shortcut a while ago that uses Siri with the ChatGPT app (it has iOS shortcut bindings) and despite Siri being a useless pile of junk compared to this, I actually prefer Siri's voice to this in some ways, because it doesn't feel so ove…
I don’t care about the voices themselves but the speech recognition is borderline unusable sometimes. It interjects when it shouldn’t and will frequently hear things incorrectly.
At one point it misinterpreted me mentioning “tai chi” as “I can’t breathe” and responded with advice about medical emergencies.

The illusion of control. We check all of these boxes yet our data still continues to get sold

#46Where is this available? I have the app installed but I don't see a headphones button, just one that seems to record my voice and then attempts to transcribe it for submission (and fails every time). I'm on Android, App icon is the black ChatGPT logo on a white background. Thanks!

I don't disagree but I'm just stating what is available in the app. Voice or text, they treat chats as a single thing.
I understand the downvotes for showing disapproval at OpenAI's policies (or big tech's), but I don't know what else could I say. Should I have just replied with a snarky comment saying "a-ha! you expect them to respect your privacy? pffff"

#49Interesting - this was actually a feature that got me to convert. I have some slight annoyances with how it handles natural pauses as I collect my thoughts and speak, but overall it's been great. I've had some interesting discussions and it's helped me structure some thoughts by asking questions and follow-ups, then summarizing our conversation... all while I'm on a walk. One fun thing I did with my family was have i…

I hate this about all voice assistants. They force you to speak in an unnatural way.
It seems like there’s nothing intelligent about when they decide to respond, it’s like they just wait for X milliseconds of silence instead of using the context of what’s being said like a human would.
Sometimes it’s the opposite problem. You finish asking your question but you gotta wait for the assistant to pick it up whereas a human would understand that you’re finished talking based on what you said.
It might seem small and unimportant but I really think it’s one of the main reasons why voice assistants feel so… artificial.
That and long ass responses.

#50Can somebody who knows their stuff about voice synthesis explain to me why chatGPT sounds like it's speaking German with an American accent when I speak to it in German? It's really surprising how believably it sounds like a native American-speaker speaking excellent, just not accent-free, German. I would imagine that voice synthesis models would somehow be trained on data from native speakers, so why the accent?
I am going to guess that 99% of the source data, models, training, correction, verification is translated by Americans.
Translating a language is difficult on top of regional dialects creates additional complications.
If someone is talking long enough to me I can identify their birth State based upon their American accent. Every State has a different pronunciation of certain words which can leak location data.
