OpenAI has introduced voice and image capabilities to ChatGPT! These new features are planned to be available for Plus and Enterprise users on android and iOS. 😆
Hear no evil 🙉
Users can now share one or more images with ChatGPT for various tasks, such as troubleshooting and data analysis.
The mobile app includes a drawing tool to highlight specific image details.
Speak no evil 🙊
Users can now have natural voice conversations with ChatGPT using five distinct voices. This feature is driven by a new text-to-speech model and Whisper technology.
ChatGPT's voice capabilities are showcased through partnerships like Spotify - highlighting its potential for podcast translation and broadening storytelling.
See no evil 🙈
OpenAI teamed up with Be My Eyes to create GPT-4V, aimed at helping individuals with visual impairments. The model's training involved using text and image data from the internet and licensed sources.
OpenAI conducted thorough safety assessments and employed reinforcement learning from human feedback and red-teaming. These measures were taken to address issues like hallucinations.
Woah… these are a lot of new developments to process. Is there anything in particular you’re excited for? 🐤
Stephen gets Fry-ed by AI 😖
Fun fact: he narrated the official Harry Potter audiobooks!

Actor Stephen Fry has raised concerns about AI after discovering his voice was impersonated by machine learning. During the CogX Festival in London, the 66-year-old actor and narrator played a clip where his voice was used for a historical documentary. 📚
“Yes, it shocked me. They used my reading of the seven volumes of the Harry Potter books, and from that dataset, an AI of my voice was created and it made that new narration.”
He cautioned people to be wary over any voice recordings they hear online, for they could be AI generated. 👆
In the past decade, AI has been applied in the film and television industry for various purposes, such as de-aging actors, analysing viewer behavior on streaming platforms, resurrecting the voices of deceased actors, and even crafting entire movie trailers. 🤭
