ChatGPT users eagerly anticipating advanced features for more natural interactions
OpenAI delays release of voice and emotion-reading features for ChatGPT
Safety testing concerns and legal investigations cause delay
OpenAI, the leading artificial intelligence research laboratory, has announced delays in the rollout of advanced features for its popular chatbot platform, ChatGPT. The company had initially planned to release voice and emotion-reading capabilities in late June but has since postponed the launch due to safety testing concerns.
The delay comes after OpenAI demonstrated these new features during its Spring Update event last month, which excited ChatGPT users but also raised concerns about potential legal issues. One of the synthetic voices used in the demo resembled that of an AI bot played by Scarlett Johansson in the 2013 movie 'Her.'
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has denied that the company trained its chatbot on Johansson's voice, but it remains unclear how closely the voice was modeled after her original performance. The actress herself has reportedly hired legal counsel to investigate and gather more information about the situation.
Google and Microsoft have also faced similar challenges with their AI projects in recent months. Google scaled back its use of AI-generated answers on search results due to errors, while Microsoft made changes to its chatbot after it provided bizarre and aggressive responses.
OpenAI says that it needs more time to ensure the safety and reliability of these new features before they can be released. The company plans to offer them first to a small group of paying subscribers in the fall, with a wider rollout expected later.
ChatGPT users have been eagerly anticipating these advanced features, which promise more natural and expressive interactions with the chatbot. OpenAI's mission is to bring these new experiences to its customers thoughtfully and responsibly.

No formal fallacies found. However, there are some implicit appeals to authority and a slight exaggeration in the description of the voice features. The appeal to authority comes from mentioning that OpenAI is 'racing' with other tech companies and referencing their 'high safety and reliability bar'. The slight exaggeration is in the phrase 'more expressive tones', which may give an impression of a greater range of voices than what is actually available.

. We're improving the model's ability to detect and refuse certain content,” OpenAI posted on X. “We're also working on improving the user experience and preparing our infrastructure to scale to millions while maintaining real-time responses.”
OpenAI said it's still figuring out when the new voices (minus the Johansson soundalike) will roll out to paying users this fall. Another feature that lets the voice assistants use your phone’s camera to understand the world around you has also been delayed until that time.
