Too bad it's only a waitlist. iFixit apparently published fake repair guides [0] that then got crawled by ChatGPT for training [1]

So... more vaporware? :( Whatever happened to that new voice interface they "announced" back in May? I wish companies would stick to "releasing" things rather than "announcing" them...

> Whatever happened to that new voice interface they "announced" back in May?

Yeah, and it was suddenly made just the day before Google announced their models... and do you remember Sora? That was in February.

The voice interface is present in the mobile apps.

They know how to release to get press coverage.

Not the new voice interface, no: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1d80q59/openai_jus...

The voice interface was pre-existing and not what was announced a few months ago.

I've definitely been using it for more than a month now. My kid loves using it as an impromptu space knowledge pop quiz game with a simple system prompt.

Maybe it's released to paid users only? The only thing missing from the original announcement is voice interrupting the ongoing response (well and the Scarlett Johansson voice)

they've had voice to text to voice for a long time, the new thing was suppose to be a voice 2 voice transformer

yeah, exactly. It’s already available. Just open a ChatGPT 4o chat on the app and click the headphones icon on the lower right.

Can you interrupt it with voice?

That's still the legacy voice flow plugged on top of the new model. OpenAI has announced as such and it's very different than how the demos for the yet to be actually launched new voice mode work.

this is really a common misconception mostly caused due to confusing UI in the app. See https://simonwillison.net/2024/May/15/chatgpt-in-4o-mode/

That's the current voice mode, not the new "advanced voice"

>then got crawled by ChatGPT for training

Not really, from the example you provided I think it's pretty clear that a custom system prompt was used and ChatGPT is using its own creativity, it doesn't have anything in common with the iFixit guide.

Actually, you can ask ChatGPT and get the same results without any prompt. No custom prompt is necessary. It takes a few seconds: https://chatgpt.com/share/2f873b1a-e487-469f-a78b-7e57fdd91b...

This is pretty funny, it seems to work with random foods, iFixit doesn't seem to have anything to do with it.
