Welcome, humans.

Fall is upon us. Anyone else ready for spooky season? If so, you’re in luck, because we just found one of the best AI horror shorts we’ve ever seen (as in, intentionally scary AI):

Speaking of scary, it looks like ChatGPT now knows when you take screenshots. Why are you doing this to us OpenAI?! It’s not even October and now I’m bricking it over here!

Here’s what you need to know about AI today:

• Microsoft added a "hallucination fix” to its API.

• OpenAI will open its training data to copyright plaintiffs

• Google, Figma, and Spotify all launch new AI tools.

• Hackers found way to plant false ChatGPT memories.

Advanced voice mode is (finally) rolling out this week.

It’s official: The most advanced talking version of ChatGPT, Advanced Voice Mode (#AVM), is finally getting its wide release… heavy emphasis on “finally.”

Starting today, and over the course of the week, the feature will be rolled out to all paying ChatGPT subscribers (unless you live in Europe, which btw, has ppl “super frustrated.” European #AVM users be like…)

The long-awaited feature comes with five new voices, improved accents (for select languages), and custom instructions + memory.

Custom instructions is cool (example here), because you can tell it speak in a specific cadence, speak slower, or talk to you by a preferred name.

How to know if / when you have access:

If you’re a ChatGPT Plus or Team user, you’ll get the following notification in the app when you get access:

People are already getting access, and here’s what early users are saying:

• You can get it to talk in a really excited tone.

• Good brainstorming partner for 20 minute car rides.

• Weird stuff happens if you speak pig latin.

Greg Brockman (OpenAI co-founder) says #AVM “makes you realize how unnatural typing things into a computer really is.”

But some are saying this version of #AVM is a step backwards in terms of usefulness: no search, no custom GPTs, and no images. “People wanted ‘Her’ but got ‘Meh.’”

Word of warning: It looks like there’s daily limits, too. One user reported getting a 15 minute warning after about 30-40 minutes of chatting (so, 1 hour limit per day?).

P.S: If you live in Europe, some users have confirmed VPNs work!
