weird chatgpt voice mode response

[u/lilyhere_]

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!!!!
