I'm really confused by this claim. How is it that so many people tried this Sky voice if no one has access yet?

There is a voice mode in the GPT app that's been out (even for free users) for nearly a year now. There are a couple voices to chooses from and sky was one of them.

This mode works entirely differently from what Open AI demoed a few days ago (the new voice mode) but both seem to utilize the same base sky voice. All this uproar is from the demos of new sky which sounds like old sky but is a lot more emotive, laughs, a bit flirty etc.

Idk the voice in the 4o demo and the existing Sky voice seemed quite different to me. And Scarlett’s letter says she and her friends were shocked when they heard the 4o demo. This whole situation is about the newly unveiled voice in the demo. It’s different.

Sky voice is old
