ChatGPT's voice chat feature has been made available to all users with the announcement. This feature was made available to paid ChatGPT users last month.

With the updates announced in September, OpenAI has become an eye, ear and tongue to ChatGPT gave. With the new features, ChatGPT gained voice chat capability on Android and iOS, and users were given the option of having real conversations with the chatbot. At that time, the company made this feature available only to Plus and Enterprise subscribers, but promised to eventually make it available to other user groups. Now, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman announced that voice conversations on ChatGPT are rolling out to all free users on mobile devices.

When the company first introduced voice chats, it acknowledged that the ability to create realistic synthetic voices from just a few seconds of real conversation introduced new risks. For example, in this way, it is possible for malicious people to impersonate public figures or anyone they want. In conclusion, ChatGPT It was decided to focus the audio feature on conversations.

OpenAI worked with voice actors to create this feature and offers five different voices to choose from. We checked the ChatGPT app on Android at the time of writing but could not access the voice chat feature. This feature will probably become widespread with the upcoming update in the coming days. It's not entirely clear whether users will need to consent to access this feature, but paid subscribers were required to enable the feature by going to Settings and then New Features when voice chats became available.

Meanwhile, OpenAI fired its CEO and co-founder Sam Altman last Friday. His partner Greg Brockman resigned after the Altman incident, and OpenAI employees asked the board of directors to step back. Although much more happened during this process, today OpenAI announced that Altman and Brockman have been reinstated.
