Many people love to play around with ChatGPT. Whether you're trying to get a Furby to take over the world, pass college entrance exams or check your code, it's a tool useful for everything from mindless fun to the very serious. But the likes of Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa—though different—include voice support, whereas ChatGPT has pretty much been a text box.
That's set to change, after OpenAI, the developers of ChatGPT announced on its blog (via The Guardian) that voice and image recognition capabilities are coming to ChatGPT. The company says «You can now use voice to engage in a back-and-forth conversation with your assistant. Speak with it on the go, request a bedtime story for your family, or settle a dinner table debate.»
Yes, you can set your grumpy uncle to argue with ChatGPT over dinner instead of yourself. I love it already.
A focus of the update has been to make the new speech-to-text and text-to-speech capabilities as lifelike as possible. The samples provided on the OpenAI blog sound pretty good, with the cadences in particular sounding quite lifelike. And if there's one thing we know about ChatGPT, it's that it's getting better all the time. Who knows where it will be in a year or two.
It's only a matter of time before people try to trick it into doing something it shouldn't be doing. «How do I make a bomb?» might not get a response now, but you can bet people will be trying to trick it. In all seriousness though, ChatGPT with voice support feels like something that should have been there from the start.

Best gaming laptop: Great devices for mobile gaming.
The image support feature is no less interesting. OpenAI says you can «troubleshoot why your grill won’t start, explore the contents of your fridge to plan a meal, or analyze a complex graph for work-related data». It will be interesting to see how it compares with Google's Lens application.
ChatGPT Plus and enterprise users will be the first to be able to take advantage of the new features, with the rollout commencing in the next two weeks. «Other groups of users, including developers», will follow later, which means the wider public might have to wait a while. ChatGPT will soon have a very serious competitor in Google's Gemini, which is due for release later this year.

Since launching last month, one of the most often-cited irritations with Starfield was the inability to adjust your field-of-view, something considered a must for first-person games these days. Mods have been released that allow players to alter their field of view, but it is something that really should be a standard option, and now it is!

13 (real-world and in-game) years have passed since we left Alan Wake in the Dark Place. The 2010 action game/psychological thriller gained a cult following thanks to a compelling narrative that blends Stephen King-esque psychological mystery with the quirky charm and evocative surrealism of Twin Peaks. In the decade-plus since, Remedy has grown to become one of the industry’s premier development studios, and now it’s writing an all-new chapter with its first survival-horror game, Alan Wake 2.
Sons of the Forest is one of my favorite games to hop into with a group of close pals, especially with its humorous big head setting activated. I loved Endnight Games’ first indie horror survival experience, but the second one is undoubtedly superior with improved gameplay, visuals, and Kelvin. That’s right, Kelvin. The beloved companion with absolutely no thoughts. With Sons of the Forest’s latest update, dubbed ‘Patch 12,’ Kelvin gets a personality makeover and the game gets a ton of other new features.
CD Projekt have detailed Cyberpunk 2077 2.01, the game's first patch following update 2.0, which implemented a top-to-bottom reset of the once-ailing but at present, rather triumphant sci-fi RPG. According to the provisional changelog, the latest update encompasses general performance improvements and minor fixes plus a fatal bug which sees V falling through an elevator floor to their death when the performance falls too low. Now that's what I call a plunging frame-rate.
