The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that OpenAI's ChatGPT is getting a major update that will enable the viral chatbot to have voice conversations with users and interact using images, moving it closer to popular artificial intelligence (AI) assistants like Apple's Siri. A Reuters dispatch to The Globe says that the voice feature "opens doors to many creative and accessibility-focused applications," OpenAI said in a blog post on Monday. Similar AI services such as Siri, Google voice assistant and Amazon's Alexa are integrated with the devices they run on and are often used to set alarms and reminders, and deliver information off the Internet. Since its debut last year, ChatGPT has been adopted by companies for a wide range of tasks from summarizing documents to writing computer code, setting off a race amongst Big Tech companies to launch their own offerings based on generative AI. ChatGPT's new voice feature can also narrate bedtime stories, settle debates at the dinner table and speak out loud text input from users. The technology behind it is being used by Spotify for the platform's podcasters to translate their content in different languages, OpenAI said.
