OpenAI says ChatGPT ‘can now see, hear, and speak’

OpenAI posted updates to ChatGPT on its blog that include new voice and image capabilities. The group noted in part: “We are beginning to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT. They offer a new, more intuitive type of interface by allowing you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you’re talking about. Voice and image give you more ways to use ChatGPT in your life. Snap a picture of a landmark while traveling and have a live conversation about what’s interesting about it. When you’re home, snap pictures of your fridge and pantry to figure out what’s for dinner, and ask follow up questions for a step by step recipe. After dinner, help your child with a math problem by taking a photo, circling the problem set, and having it share hints with both of you. We’re rolling out voice and images in ChatGPT to Plus and Enterprise users over the next two weeks. Voice is coming on iOS and Android and images will be available on all platforms. You can now use voice to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with your assistant. Speak with it on the go, request a bedtime story for your family, or settle a dinner table debate.” OpenAI was formed by a group of investors, including Microsoft (MSFT), Khosla Ventures, Reid Hoffman, and others. Other publicly traded companies that may be impacted by this news include: Alphabet (GOOG,GOOGL), Snap (SNAP) Meta (META) Amazon (AMZN) and Spotify (SPOT).
