giftdetect· the right gift in minutesIf you talk to ChatGPT out loud, the menu you know is about to get shorter. OpenAI will discontinue the Advanced and Standard voice options in ChatGPT from December 11, and people who use them will be moved to the Live voice mode.
The company says the point is to simplify the voice experience. Instead of keeping several voice options running side by side, it wants to concentrate on improving its latest voice technology. Live is that newer mode, and it becomes the one way to chat with ChatGPT by voice.
What is changing in ChatGPT voice?
Two things disappear on December 11: Standard voice and Advanced voice. Users who relied on either of them will be shifted over to Live voice mode. The announcement describes this as a move of users from the old options to the new one, not as a new feature on top of the old ones.
Do I need to do anything?
Based on what OpenAI has said so far, the switch is something the company handles by moving users to Live. The announcement does not describe any steps you need to take, and it does not say whether settings or voice choices will carry over, so it is worth opening the voice option in the app before the deadline and seeing what it looks like.
There is a fair amount the announcement leaves open, including whether the Live mode will behave differently from the options it replaces. What is clear is the date and the direction: one voice mode, the newest one, and a month or so of notice for anyone who has grown used to the older versions.
