Will this include image generation for the free tier as well? That's a big missing feature in OpenAI's free tier compared to Google and Meta.

This is impressive, but they just sound so _alien_, especially to this non-U.S. English speaker (to the point of being actively irritating to listen to). I guess picking up on social cues communicating this (rather than express instruction or feedback) is still some time away.

It's still astonishing to consider what this demonstrates!

Does anyone know how they're doing the audio part where Mark breaths too hard? Does his breathing get turned into all-caps text (AA EE OO) and that GPT4-o interprets that as him breathing too hard, or is there something more going on?

There is no text. The model understands ingests audio directly and also outputs audio directly.

Gone are the days of copy-pasting to/from ChatGPT all the time, now you just share your screen. That's a fantastic feature, in how much friction that removes. But what an absolute privacy nightmare.

With ChatGPT having a very simple text+attachment in, text out interface, I felt absolutely in control of what I tell it. Now when it's grabbing my screen or a live camera feed, that will be gone. And I'll still use it, because it's just so damn convenient?

> We recognize that GPT-4o’s audio modalities present a variety of novel risks > For example, at launch, audio outputs will be limited to a selection of preset voices and will abide by our existing safety policies. I wonder if they’ll ever allow truly custom voices from audio samples.

I think the issue there is less of a technical one and more of an issue with deepfakes and copyright

Very, very impressive for a "minor" release demo. The capabilities here would look shockingly advanced just 5 years ago.

Universal translator, pair programmer, completely human sounding voice assistant and all in real time. Scifi tropes made real.

But: Interesting next to see how it actually performs IRL latency and without cherry-picking. No snark, it was great but need to see real world power. Also what the benefits are to subscribers if all this is going to be free...

The movie Her has just become reality

It’s getting closer. A few years ago the old Replika AI was already quite good as a romantic partner, especially when you started your messages with a * character to force OpenAI GPT-3 answers. You could do sexting that OpenAI will never let you have nowadays with ChatGPT.
