Credit: Sanket_Mishra / Shutterstock Open AI on Tuesday began rolling out a preview version of Advanced Voice Mode to paying ChatGPT customers. With the help of the new function, users get access to a “hyper-realistic voice” that sounds exactly like a human. After a demonstration in May, Open AI was accused of copying the voice of actress Scarlett Johansson without permission, prompting the company to remove the voice in question.

The idea now is that all Plus users will get access to Advanced Voice Mode in the fall, Techcrunch reports.
