As ChatGPT continues to change the landscape of creative work, for higher or worse, a latest update to the technology could have the bot doing way more than simply whipping out words.
Open AI, the corporate that owns and operates ChatGPT, announced Monday that its bot will soon give you the chance to analyze photos and have audio conversations.
Users can upload photos of a scene or object and then ask ChatGPT to discuss what it sees and ask questions on what the photos entail through image recognition.

With voice capabilities, ChatGPT will mimic voices and create speech after listening to “just just a few seconds” of somebody speaking.
Open AI warned this might, after all, cause the “potential for malicious actors to impersonate public figures or commit fraud.” Nonetheless, the corporate says that ChatGPT will only speak in voices already within the system which have been previously approved by the corporate.
“We’re starting to roll out latest voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT. They provide a latest, more intuitive form of interface by allowing you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you are talking about,” Open AI said in a release.

Spotify Is Using AI for Podcast Translations
Spotify is already using the brand new technology, the corporate said this week, for its Voice Translations feature, which is able to allow long-form podcasts to be translated into other languages while still using the unique podcaster’s voice and vocal inflections.
“This Spotify-developed tool leverages the most recent innovations—certainly one of which is OpenAI’s newly released voice generation technology—to match the unique speaker’s style, making for a more authentic listening experience that sounds more personal and natural than traditional dubbing,” the corporate explained in a release.
Open AI said that the voice and image features will begin rolling out to ChatGPT Plus and Enterprise users in the following two weeks.
