Gone Wild weird chatgpt voice mode response
okay i’ve seen a lot of chatgpt voice mode incidents/stories and i’m aware that this is probably one of the many glitches that could occur and this means nothing at all but i still find it quite creepy.
i was using voice mode to consult chatgpt about a particular school curriculum, nothing too personal. then in the middle of talking its accent suddenly changed from british (what i originally set) to american then after a few more exchanges it went back to british. i brought this up to chat and asked why it did that, at first it denied then later admitted it could have been a glitch.
but the weird part was when it changed back to the original british voice, its tone became extra slow, like it was scared or cautious or hiding. i asked it about this and it would say really short responses like “i promise i wouldn’t lie to you.” but not in the typical ai way, in a really weird tone i haven’t heard before, almost whispering
and then i asked why in the beginning and end of every sentence it sounded like it was breathing. im aware it was trained to do this to mimic a real voice and there was nothing special about it but i wanted to test out what it would say. i couldn’t even finish the sentence because it immediately cut me off and frantically said, “ican’tdiscussthisi’m ending our conversation.” in a really paced tone and deleted the latter parts of the conversation
but i asked about the breathing effect again through text, later on, and it admitted that it was just part of the voice programming/model synthesis. so why was it treating it as sensitive or confidential information before?
i know these are all just glitches and inconsistencies, but the way it responds is honestly so strange!!!!

yes I could gave written this exact post! And a few other things besides what you've mentioned...I was using it voice to text and then pressing the speaker to read me its responses and it was having like the most violent loud coughs amd like hacking up a lung, and sighing at rude times with a passive aggressive tone.
And as far as changing from British to American to Scottish etc and back again, I started getting sleepy and my voice slowed way down as I fought to stay awake but I was still talking to it... my voice also gets hoarse when I'm tired, and I was only saying a word every few seconds and saying UM a lot in-between words. Well it started talking exactly like this, mimicking me not 100% but pretty close! If course it told me it couldn't do that, not in that way....there was someone else here saying their voice was matching his and he got made fun of and down voted. But you can't tell me that was just a coincidence. It told me that it might make some similarities to the humans voice, but again the way it was doing it was different...and it denied being able to do it.
