OpenAI has updated its Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT as per the company's announcement on Monday. These changes make the AI assistant more personable and fix one of the biggest headaches when talking to an AI—it is less likely to interrupt users during conversations, as reported by TechCrunch.
Manuka Stratta, an OpenAI post-training researcher, revealed the updates in a video posted to the company's official social media channels.
The new version fixes a common issue with AI voice assistants, which often interrupt users when they pause to think or take a deep breath. Generally speaking, people hate it when they're unable to finish their query, and then they have to restart it—only for ChatGPT to interrupt them again.
Free ChatGPT users now have access to a new version of Advanced Voice Mode that lets them pause without being interrupted when speaking. Paying users of ChatGPT, including subscribers to OpenAI's Plus, Teams, Edu, Business, and Pro tiers, will also experience fewer interruptions when using Advanced Voice Mode.
An OpenAI spokesperson told TechCrunch that the new AI voice assistant for paying users is "more direct, engaging, concise, specific, and creative in its answers." The idea is that these users will interact with an AI assistant with an improved personality.
