ChatGPT lets you talk like Scarlett Johansson

OpenAI publishes a file Ha– An intelligent voice assistant feature that can read your facial expressions and translate spoken language in real time – hopefully without giving away what you love about film.

During a live demo on Monday, OpenAI engineer and CTO Meera Murati got together on the phone to demonstrate the new features. They encouraged the assistant to be more expressive while writing the bedtime story, then suddenly asked her to switch to a robotic voice, before finally asking her to finish the story in a singsong voice. They then ask the assistant to see what the phone’s camera sees and respond to what’s on the screen. Acting as a translator the assistant was able to interrupt speaking and respond without constant prompting.

The assistant’s voice response bore a striking resemblance to the character played by Scarlett Johansson in the film.

In a press interview with Dr edgesMoratti said the assistant wasn’t actually designed to sound like Johansson, emphasizing that OpenAI has had this voice for some time. “One viewer asked me the exact same question and then said, ‘Oh, maybe I don’t recognize him from ChatGPT because there are so many characters and melodies in the audio,'” Moratti said.

These features represent a significant improvement over ChatGPT’s existing voice mode, which allows a user to chat, but with very limited interaction; For example, the current version cannot be blocked or react to what the camera sees. The new features will roll out in a limited “alpha” release “in the coming weeks” and will be available initially to ChatGPT Plus customers when the wider rollout begins.

The new voice assistant follows a Bloomberg A report It claims that OpenAI is close to a deal with Apple to bring ChatGPT to the iPhone. (When asked at the press conference, Moratti said: “We haven’t talked about any partnership.”) The iPhone’s voice assistant, Siri, isn’t trustworthy. HaIt looks like an iPhone-inspired assistant that might actually be able to answer your questions instead of “searching the Internet.”

“The new audio (and video) mode is the best computer interface I’ve ever used. “It still seems a little surprising to me that it’s real,” Altman said in an interview. Enter the blog Immediately after the live broadcast. “Achieving human-level reaction time and expression represents a major shift.”
