OpenAI Warns Users Could Become Emotionally Hooked on Its Voice Mode

OpenAI has acknowledged that their new anthropomorphic voice feature in ChatGPT could potentially lead some users to develop emotional attachments to the AI assistant. The company's safety analysis highlights the risk of this engaging, human-like interaction luring people into unhealthy emotional dependencies.

OpenAI's latest ChatGPT upgrade, powered by the GPT-4o model, introduces an expressive female voice reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson's AI character in the movie "Her".
The chatbot can now convey emotions, laugh at jokes, and even deliver flirtatious responses, blurring the line between human and machine interaction.
While these advancements make ChatGPT more engaging, they also raise concerns about privacy risks, technological addiction, and the persuasive power of emotionally intelligent AI.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has sparked rumors about a powerful new AI model codenamed "Strawberry" with a cryptic post on social media. The AI community is abuzz with speculation that this could be OpenAI's next breakthrough, potentially surpassing current models like GPT-4 in capabilities.

Altman posted an image of strawberries with the caption "i love summer in the garden," hinting at the rumored "Strawberry" model

YouTube is introducing a new AI tool called Brainstorm with Gemini to help creators generate video ideas and optimize their content. The feature, currently in testing, will provide AI-generated prompts, concepts, trend notes, and thumbnail suggestions based on Google Search activity.

Brainstorm with Gemini aims to give YouTube an edge over competitors by integrating Google's AI technology.
The tool will offer creators insights to refine content and stay attuned to audience interests.
YouTube is also testing a feature similar to Twitter's Community Notes, allowing users to add context and accuracy checks to potentially misleading videos.

✨HeyGen Changed Their Pricing Model

HeyGen plans purchased before August 1, 2024 use a credit system. Users needed to spend credits each time they generated a video (e.g, creating a 5-minute Avatar Video costed 5 credits). And the number of credits users had depended on their subscription plan.

Heygen stated “Feedback from the community showed that the credit system was confusing and stifled creativity. Today, we’re excited to announce new Creator and Team plans that allow users like yourself to create and edit as many videos as needed!”

The new pricing is $24/mo when billed annually for unlimited videos.

This is amazing news and completely changes the game!
