OpenAI announced a delay in the launch of its highly anticipated ChatGPT Advanced Voice Mode, citing the need for more time to ensure safety and real-time responses. Initially planned for a late June rollout to a select group of ChatGPT Plus users, the company stated that additional testing revealed safety issues that require further improvements. While voice capabilities are being refined, work on ChatGPT's new video and screen-sharing functions is ongoing. Users expressed discontent over the delay, with some canceling their subscriptions in response. OpenAI emphasized the benefits of the Voice Mode, highlighting its ability to enhance natural conversations with AI through emotion and non-verbal cues. The company pledged to provide updates on the timeline for video and screen-sharing features in the future.
