The post ChatGPT will support voice and picture prompts for free appeared first on BGR.
Key Highlights :
Google's incorporation of Bard into its various apps last week was a huge blow to ChatGPT. Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, and Flights are just some of the apps that are getting Bard support. This gave Google a huge advantage over ChatGPT, but OpenAI isn't sitting idly by. A few days ago, OpenAI announced the launch of ChatGPT-Images, which lets you use ChatGPT to generate AI images. Now, OpenAI has announced that the free version of ChatGPT will support voice and picture prompts in the very near future.
Voice and picture prompts are a great addition to the ChatGPT experience. With voice prompts, you can talk to ChatGPT rather than having to type on iPhone and Android. Additionally, you'll be able to use images to get better answers. The best part is that you won't have to pay for ChatGPT Plus to get these features. However, paying subscribers will be the first to try them.
Using images in ChatGPT prompts is similar to how Google uses Google Lens with AI. Image understanding is powered by multimodal GPT-3.5 and GPT-4. With image prompts, the user can upload a photo of their bike and ask a question. ChatGPT will provide an answer, and the user can upload additional images so the chatbot can better understand the problem. The user can even draw a circle around the bike component that represents the main topic of discussion so ChatGPT can adjust the response.
Voice support for iPhone and Android will be available initially to Plus and Enterprise users over the next two weeks. Then, other groups of users, including developers, will get it soon after that. That means the free ChatGPT experience will also support voice and picture commands. OpenAI has also taken technical measures to significantly limit ChatGPT's ability to analyze and make direct statements about people since ChatGPT is not always accurate, and these systems should respect individuals' privacy.
OpenAI is also working with Spotify to test a new Voice Translation feature for podcasts that lets creators translate their content into other languages using their own voice. This is a great way to make podcasts accessible to more people. Additionally, OpenAI is relying on voice actors for the voice of ChatGPT to prevent abuse.
Overall, the addition of voice and image prompts to the free version of ChatGPT is a great development. With this, users will be able to have more interactive conversations with ChatGPT and get better answers. This will make it easier for users to get the information they need using their smartphones.
