ChatGPT may soon get eight new voices: Here's your first listen
It seems just like yesterday when OpenAI's ChatGPT took the world by storm, causing a flurry of different emotions from those inside and outside the tech space. Since then, the landscape has changed dramatically, with a vast variety of different alternatives finding their way online from major companies like Microsoft, Meta, Google, and more. Yet, ChatGPT is still the go-to for most, with it having a slight edge over the competition in our tests.
The Evolution of ChatGPT
Learn what ChatGPT is, how it works, what you can do with it, and how much it costs to use OpenAI's most advanced AI chatbot.
With that said, OpenAI is one of the best because it still manages to keep pushing the technology even further, in new and unexpected ways. The service currently offers support for voice interactions as well, with it offering a choice of four very convincing and human-like options. Of course, if that wasn't enough, and you needed more variety, you'll be happy to know it looks like OpenAI is working on new voices that it may eventually introduce to the service.
New Voices for ChatGPT
The news comes from X (formerly Twitter) user Tibor Blaho, sharing a detailed clip of all the new voices and their abilities (via Android Authority). As you can see from the clip above, there are eight new voices that were uncovered, with names like Fathom, Glimmer, Harp, Maple, Orbit, Rainbow, Reef, Ridge, and Vale. Each has its own distinct characteristic and what's even more fascinating is that each one can create or mimic animal sounds as well.
As of now, it's unknown when and if these voices will ever find their way into the public version of ChatGPT. When it comes to similar features, the brand has more recently introduced a new Advanced Voice Mode that's still in alpha. This new mode allows users to have more realistic conversations with ChatGPT, which should be quite interesting when it goes live. For the most part, OpenAI has been delivering small improvements that really make you wonder just far all of this is going to go.
Try ChatGPT Today
And while there are always precautions in place, it's really hard to see how one should proceed when a brand is traveling down a road no one has yet traveled. Of course, if you've never tried it and want to see how it can enhance your daily activities, we recommend giving ChatGPT a try. It's available on the web and can also be downloaded as an app to your compatible device using the Google Play Store.
