OpenAI recently revealed that the Advanced Voice feature of GPT-4o would not be available to most users until the fall, but a lucky few, including Reddit user RozziTheCreator, got a sneak peek at what this next-generation voice assistant can do. RozziTheCreator shared a recording of a new GPT-4o voice telling a horror story complete with sound effects, bringing attention to the capabilities of this advanced AI. However, OpenAI clarified that the access granted to RozziTheCreator was a mistake and has since been corrected.
The leaked video showcased a more natural use of GPT-4o’s advanced voice, with unique sound effects that haven’t been heard before. Despite the brief access, RozziTheCreator managed to capture a snippet of an intriguing story that highlighted the potential of this voice assistant. OpenAI’s plans to slowly roll out new features, including the advanced voice, were temporarily disrupted by the accidental access granted to a few users like RozziTheCreator, although the company aims to proceed with the planned rollout in the coming months.
Although most users will have to wait longer to experience GPT-4o’s full capabilities, instances like this leaked video continue to fuel excitement for what this advanced AI can offer. The accidental access provided a glimpse into the potential of GPT-4o, showcasing its ability to narrate stories with accompanying sound effects. While delays in the rollout are understandable, the eagerness surrounding the release of the advanced voice feature remains high among users anticipating the full capabilities of GPT-4o.
