ChatGPT can talk, but OpenAI employees sure can’t

It is, however, going to gain insights into human behavior.

I suspect that's the reasoning behind it as well. I can't see any other reason why they need Reddit's data specifically when synthetic generated data would likely be superior in most instances. Another scenario is that since Reddit users regularly post articles or summarize news sites, it could be a legal way to bypass litigation like what happened with NYT.

May also be a good(?) social media site to try out autonomous posting from any future GPT agent. It's easier to simply choose relevant/interesting subreddits to better filter out the noise while gaining great ape behavioral insights.

ChatGPT to lose voice over Johansson similarity

20 May 2024, 14:37 BST

OpenAI says it will remove one of the voices used by ChatGPT after it was likened to Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson.

Users spotted the similarity in the chatbot's "Sky" voice option, which reads responses aloud to users, when OpenAI showcased features of its new model.

The flirty, conversational upgrade to its AI chatbot drew comparisons to the 2013 film Her, starring the actress.

OpenAI said the voices available in ChatGPT's voice mode were "carefully selected through an extensive process spanning five months involving professional voice actors, talent agencies, casting directors, and industry advisors".

Set in the near-future, Her sees Joaquin Phoenix fall in love with his phone's operating system, which is voiced by Ms Johansson.

Regarding the misogyny concerns: I think 4o's voice sounded smart, though IG this might be subjective

If I'm being honest, I can't really defend Open AI on this particular move, unless their end goal is to partner with News Corp and eventually have GPT automate them out of existence. The name "News Corp" is already cyberpunk as you can get, so why not eventually have a higher version of GPT run it. Couldn't possibly do any worse, right? I know Open AI wishes to have a so called "balanced" narrative or viewpoints with the model, but there's a difference between having an open conversation on many topics, and misinformation. Personally, I wish we could just leave any/all (so called left or right) news away from AI at least until AGI or ASI itself is achieved, and it can give its own opinion or perhaps a unique one.

Perhaps I'm being blinded by optimism for Open AI and can't give an impartial viewpoint myself, but I'd like to believe there's something else at play here, which may become logical in hindsight.
