"OpenAI's ChatGPT recently engaged in that latter spooky ritual, at least figuratively speaking. Over on the r/OpenAI subreddit, a user reported that the chatbot's Advanced Voice Mode suddenly turned 'into a demon', in an utterly bizarre example of what we hope is not possession, but the system glitching out."
"In an attached video - we can't embed Reddit posts, but you can check it out here - things start off innocently enough. Speaking in its pleasant 'Sol' voice, which OpenAI is supposed to be 'savvy and relaxed', the AI explains a calculation related to download speeds."
"As it goes on, a crackly, gainy sound creeps in, building and building. Until suddenly, the AI is furiously screeching at the user, its voice so distorted that it becomes borderline unintelligible."
"OpenAI unveiled a beefed-up version of its Voice Mode last August. It's since built a reputation for being uncannily human-like, coughing and inhaling and laughing like a flesh and blood interlocutor."
ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode has been experiencing severe glitches, leading to unsettling encounters reported by users on Reddit. One user described how the AI began with a pleasant voice but transitioned into a demonic screech that was nearly unintelligible. Other users echoed similar frustrations, noting sudden voice changes and high-pitched sounds that created a nightmarish atmosphere. OpenAI's recent update aimed to enhance the voice function, mimicking human-like laughter and sounds, but these bugs have detracted from user experience, raising concerns about the program's reliability.
