> ChatGPT Advanced Voice Impressions
> 
> After ~10 hours of 4o voice chats using ChatGPT Pro here are some initial thoughts:
> 
> - Pretty good. Not great.
> - Responds too quickly. Turns out responding instantly isn't actually desirable. It fails to detect contextual pauses mid sentence/thought so you need to have your entire thought formed before speaking. I would rather speak with an o1 type model that at least takes a second or two to reason.
> - Needs an optional toggle to speak up during long pauses. Currently it just sits there forever if you don't say anything.
> - Emotionless. I know "AI is a tool" and all that, but 4o feels completely emotionless and too rigid.
> - Way too strict. OpenAI models are now a minefield of compliance. 4o Voice is the most strict (won't output). 4o Text is less strict (warning label but outputs). o1 Text is now the least strict model because it is able to think around the OpenAI policies and self-moderate at a human level (outputs with less warning labels).
> - Incredible at speaking in different languages, accents, and styles.
> - Can't hold unique voices consistently. It constantly needs to be reminded to maintain a new voice/language.
> - Responses are all very short. Hard to get it to say more than a paragraph in one response.
> - Speaks much slower/differently at the end of long chats.
> - Chats are limited to 1 hour each so 24/7 voice mode is currently not possible even with ChatGPT Pro. Also have a 4 limit placed on advanced voice during a normal mid day chat so I'm guessing it's not actually unlimited.
> 
> The ideal Voice Mode in my mind would look something like unlimited o1 with reasoning, custom instructions, "infinite" memory, search, and vision.
