OpenAI's CEO merry-go-round tosses out voice feature for ChatGPT

Despite the revolving door of CEOs at OpenAI, the company has found time to update ChatGPT with a freebie voice feature. Co-founder Greg Brockman said last night that the update "totally changes the ChatGPT experience." Users can now talk to ChatGPT and get an audible response.

I don't know how this is interpreted in the US, but in the UK this means discarded. Is that what you meant?

[KarMann]

In the US, it can be taken either way, either 'discarded' or, as in this case (presumably), 'put forth', 'proffered', something like that. But it is more often used in the 'discarded' sense over there, too.

At least there aren't any worries over conflating it with the 'tosser' kind of tossing over there.

@KarlMann

There are some specific uses - e.g. "let me toss this idea out there", meaning, as you say, to proffer the idea for consideration (I believe this is used in the UK and Australia as well as the US). Generally, though, I believe it does mean to discard something.

In the meantime, just toss off one of these -->

(assuming that is understood in the US)

I'm just glad the author added the clarifying word "out".

Pizza order

"How many 16-inch pizzas should I order for 778 people?"

Doesn't it depend on how many people WANT pizza? And is the company paying for it? (of course, other food sources are available).

Or perhaps ONE 16" pizza is enough, if everyone has a very small portion...

Re: Pizza order

Looks like question was formulated by someone who used to work in public sector. Critical thinking there is not encouraged.

Or if you have adequately large inches.

Oh purlease

Can't do facts therefore : "it isn't much more than an impressive tech demo."

Is sorely missing the point of gererative AI.

Oft repeated, but this is le reg! Come on!

Really. RTMF. And be aware that these tools are crazily changing the way many people work without ever once promising a fact, or any statement of truth.

That's just not how these models work, never will be, and they are still amazingly useful.

If they ever do facts and/or calculations they will immediately marked as general intelligence, no matter how basic or untrue that statement is

If you can't understand this: stick to scraping Wikipedia for your "facts".

It's over

You no longer live in a free society. You are the slave. The computer owns you, and it was trained by the most gullible, and impressionable monkeys evolution could deliver. A fitting end. Nothing matters anymore. It's all a "virtual" reality. It only exists in your mind.

Why does anybody care who is the CEO ?

Why does the American media have such a fascination with CEOs ?
