Summary
OpenAI has announced an update to its ChatGPT chatbot, allowing it to "see, hear and speak." The update will roll out to paying users in the next two weeks. This update is OpenAI's biggest since the introduction of GPT-4. Users will be able to opt into voice conversations on the mobile app and choose from five different synthetic voices for the bot to respond with. They will also be able to share images with the chatbot and highlight areas of focus or analysis. The article mentions the AI arms race among chatbot leaders such as OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Anthropic. Tech giants are racing to launch new chatbot apps and features. Concerns about AI-generated synthetic voices and deepfakes are raised, but OpenAI states that the synthetic voices were created with voice actors they have directly worked with. The article also mentions Microsoft's investment in OpenAI and the potential use of consumer voice inputs by OpenAI.
