OpenAI announces new reasons to talk to ChatGPT

OpenAI is releasing a handful of upgrades, available through ChatGPT, that will help people interact more naturally with its technology. Many of the features, announced acceso Monday, could convince more people to speak to the AI rather than text with it.

Most changes arrived courtesy of a new, more powerful artificial intelligence model that enhances ChatGPT’s ability to listen and respond by voice, instead of text. OpenAI said it would offer people limited, free access to the new technology, along with tools that once required a subscription.
