New Voice Functionality on ChatGPT

St Germain en Laye, October 14th 2024.

« Who Is That You Are Chatting With? Oh, Just ChatGPT.
The artificial intelligence chatbot’s Advanced Voice Mode feature has delighted some users and weirded out others.

When you think of what a voice programmed by artificial intelligence would sound like, you might picture something robotic and stilted, with a staccato cadence incapable of capturing the inflections, speed and emotion required to sound even somewhat human.

For better or worse ? The both of course.
This could probably be nice for a typical user looking for information, ordering a meal, or making a doctor’s appointment, and even support for a single person who no longer communicates with others. But it also risks generalizing deep fake vocals.
When cavemen banged stones on top of twigs to warm themselves with fire, it was a great innovation, a step forward for the human kind. And then they discovered other less positive uses…

Nexyad’s innovation, BYOD* SafetyNex, in its informative driving assistance mode for fleets and/or insurance companies, consists of warning drivers on board when they are not being prudent behind the wheel in real time. SafetyNex can then launch simple messages by anticipation  such as: « slow down » or even contextualized « slow down dangerous bend », etc.
Our tool enhanced with ChatGPT-type technologies could then launch alerts such as « Honey, please slow down » in your wife’s voice, or « Daddy, go slower » in your child’s voice.
In this combination, our 100% positive innovation will make the vocal imitation for the better way.
