OpenAI has announced a delay in launching the new voice mode for ChatGPT that stirred controversy due to its resemblance to Scarlett Johansson’s character in the movie “Her”. Originally set for an alpha release to a select group of ChatGPT Plus subscribers, the rollout has been pushed back by a month to ensure the feature meets high safety and reliability standards. The new voice mode promises enhanced detection and refusal of inappropriate content. Additionally, OpenAI introduced upcoming video and screen-sharing capabilities during its Spring Update event, which are also pending further testing. The implementation of these features aims to make ChatGPT more interactive and intuitive, with capabilities to observe and respond to user surroundings in real time. This delay reflects OpenAI’s commitment to delivering secure and reliable AI advancements, while addressing ethical concerns raised by the similarity to Johansson’s virtual persona.
