openai’s “her” finally came out after much anticipation.
on september 25, artificial intelligence (ai) giant openai officially launched the advanced voice function, which will be launched to all plus and team users of chatgpt within this week. users will receive notifications that they can use this function.
chatgpt's advanced voice function adds custom commands and memory functions. you can set accents, intonations, speaking speeds, custom names, set home addresses, etc. chatgpt will also conduct conversations based on these settings.
five new voices have been added this time: vale, spruce, arbor, maple, and sol, with a total of 9 voices to choose from. sky, which sounds like "black widow" scarlett johansson, has disappeared.
openai said that the advanced voice function supports saying "sorry, i'm late" in more than 50 languages, or it may also be expressing apologies to users who have been waiting for a long time.
openai ceo sam altman wrote: "i hope you find it worth the wait."
as early as four months ago when gpt-4o was released, altman hinted at the arrival of a voice function similar to "her". (the well-known science fiction movie "her" tells a science fiction love story about humans and artificial intelligence falling in love in the near future. after the male protagonist's divorce, he came into contact with the latest artificial intelligence system os1, named samantha. samantha has a charming voice, gentle and considerate, and humorous, which gradually makes the male protagonist fall in love with her. in the movie, samantha is voiced by scarlett johansson.)
however, it was repeatedly postponed and was sued by scarlett because gpt-4o used sky voice that was highly similar to her voice. scarlett sent a lawyer's letter to openai, asking for an explanation of the exact creation process of sky. after that, openai announced that it would suspend the use of sky voice to show respect for scarlett.
it is worth mentioning that the official demonstration video contains chinese content, and openai has also designed a new blue sphere animation for chatgpt.
according to tests by netizens, there are still daily usage limits for advanced voice functions, and users will receive a system notification when there are 15 minutes of usage time left.
openai said that among the regions where chatgpt is supported, advanced voice services are not yet available in the european union, the united kingdom, switzerland, iceland, norway, and liechtenstein.
