OpenAI's Enhanced "Her" Launches, Outshining Gemini's Major Upgrade...

OpenAI's GPT Advanced Voice is here! Supporting over 50 languages, it offers customizable features, improved responses, and new voices, leaving Google’s Gemini behind.

Today was an exciting day in the AI community!

Just yesterday, I was confused by a short AI essay from Ultraman. Now, his intentions are clear.

Ultraman aims to take a shot at his rival, Google. Specifically, he targets the newly updated Gemini models: Gemini-1.5-Pro-002 and Gemini-1.5-Flash-002.

His approach is straightforward: he announced that the highly anticipated GPT voice feature is now officially available.

In less than two hours, he overshadowed Google’s big moment.

If I were Google, I’d be furious.

GPT Advanced Voice is Here, Supporting Over 50 Languages

OpenAI announced that the Advanced Voice Mode for ChatGPT will gradually roll out to all Plus and Team users this week.

While users wait, the team has improved features like custom instructions, memory, five new voices, and better accents.

OpenAI even highlighted that it can say "Sorry, I'm late" in over 50 languages.

They provided a demo of switching from English to Mandarin: “Grandma, I'm sorry I'm late. I didn't mean to keep you waiting. How can I make it up to you?”

Wow, now I’m being treated like GPT’s grandma!

In the video, the voice mode is represented by a bouncing blue sphere, unlike the black animation point shown in May.

When users gain access, a prompt will appear in the app. It will first be available to Plus and Teams users, expanding to enterprise and education users next week.

ChatGPT now features five new voices: Arbor, Maple, Sol, Spruce, and Vale.

Including the previous voices—Breeze, Juniper, Cove, and Ember—ChatGPT now has a total of nine voices (Google's Gemini Live offers ten).

You might notice these names are inspired by nature, from "Maple" to "Sun" and "Valley," creating a more natural feel.

One absent voice is Sky, which OpenAI showcased during their spring event but was removed due to legal issues involving Scarlett Johansson from the movie "Her."
