So that's why ChatGPT has failed to load or work for the past few hours. No really, it's down right now.

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

I'm almost sure its streamed
It is streamed. They also offer this as an API for developers [0]. I just wish they'd offer more languages as it currently is English only. It can speak German and Spanish, but with a very clear English accent, which makes it kind of funny and makes one think about why the accent sounds so real.

#54Am 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.
Do you mean Siri's voice recognition? If so, 100% agreed. My iOS shortcut uses OpenAI's Whisper API for voice recognition, and Siri (English United Kingdom - Siri Voice 1) for text to speech.
I really like dictating things sometimes, and Whisper is perfect for that (automatic paragraphs inside the model itself would be nice but not a big deal).
If anyone is interested - the "Whisper speech recognition in iOS" part is based on this shortcut I found that you can easily use yourself on both iOS and MacOS (free except for the OpenAI API usage fees obviously): https://giacomomelzi.com/transcribe-audio-messages-iphone-ai...

#55How can I use this without a computer like Alexa for conversations?
Like an Android device with a smart speaker? I think there is an OpenAI app.
Serious question.

#56Where 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!
It fails to transcribe due to an API outage at the moment but I imagine that's the correct button.

#57It's possible to run a voice AI similar to this entirely locally on a normal gaming PC with a good GPU using open source AI models. I have a standalone demo I've been working on that you can try if you have a 12GB+ Nvidia GPU: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NC624PBFGB7
It's still very much a demo and not as good as GPT-4, but it responds much faster. It's fun to play with and it shows the promise. Open models have been improving very quickly. It remains to be seen just how good they can get but personally I believe that better-than-GPT-4 models are going to run on a $1k gaming PC in just a few years. You will be able to have a coherent spoken conversation with your GPU. It's a new type of computing experience.

I've been using it on my iPhone for a few weeks. It works great with AirPods.

What models/libraries is it based on?

Currently OpenHermes2-Mistral-7B (via exllama2), OpenAI Whisper (via faster_whisper), and StyleTTS2 (uses HF Transformers). All PyTorch-based.
I will probably update to the OpenHermes vision model when Nous Research releases it, so it'll be able to see with the webcam or even read your screen and chat about what you're working on! I also need to update to Whisper-v3 or Distil-Whisper, and I need to update to a newer StyleTTS2. I also plan to add a Mandarin TTS and Qwen-7B bilingual LLM for a bilingual chatbot. The amount of movement in open AI (not to be confused with OpenAI) is difficult to keep up with.
Of course I need to add better attribution for all this stuff, and a whole lot of other things, like a basic UI. Very much an MVP at the moment.
