Warning from OpenAI: You Might Fall in Love with Voice AI Chatbots!

Famous artificial intelligence developer OpenAI made an interesting statement the other day. The company warned that some users may become emotionally addicted to the voice feature of the famous artificial intelligence-supported chatbot ChatGPT-4o. Details are in the news.

ChatGPT’s New Advanced Voice Mode Can Make Users Addicted!

For those who do not know, OpenAI has started to gradually introduce the voice mode it developed for the ChatGPT chat robot since the past months. Although this feature, offered with GPT-4o, which can be accessed with a GPT Plus subscription, is highly appreciated, it worries OpenAI on some issues. Because the voices developed for GPT-4o are quite realistic.

In this context, the famous company recently warned that new artificial intelligence voices that are very similar to the human voice may cause users to rely too much on ChatGPT for friendship, which could potentially lead to emotional addiction.

ChatGPT Can Communicate Just Like a Human Thanks to Voice Mode

As a result of the initial investigations, it was stated that the 232 millisecond response time of the voice mode to users’ input was very close to the reaction time of an average person during a conversation. In addition, the data indicates that users use language that tends to establish an emotional bond with artificial intelligence because the voices are realistic and natural.

The published report also stated, “Users can reduce their need for human communication by establishing social relationships with artificial intelligence, which can potentially benefit lonely individuals while significantly affecting healthy relationships.”

So what do you think about this issue? Do you think some people might actually fall in love with AI bots? Let’s meet in the comments…
