Likely connected to the fact that they released voice chat for free users an hour ago. https://x.com/openai/status/1727065166188274145 https://x.com/openai/status/1727065166188274145 Assuming these two things are related, if I may editorialize just a tiny bit, I am a little annoyed at how much their rollouts often disrupt service for paying customers. Paid users being impacted by free user rushes really sucks, but is understandable. API developers being impacted by free-user rollouts is unacceptable, and especially sucks for those who have to answer to users of their own. I suppose this is a wakeup call to migrate to Microsoft's Azure endpoints which, presumably, aren't affected by the current outages. But I'm fully tapped out in terms of yet another service's application and vetting process. So to connecting it back to the current drama, while I support OpenAI, their employees, and Sam's return, I can understand why folks like Helen would be miffed by management's approach to building. I'm not saying they should slow product development, but would staged rollouts hurt?

I prefer the Pi app's voice chat ... it has a lot more personality and will play along with questions like whose your spirit animal: Mother Teresa or Obama. It will provide an answer there yet when you ask it the same question using Trump and Hitler it refuses to answer lol Overall Chat GPT's voice chat needs some zing to it when compared to Pi. Yet either both are awesome pieces of technology, just prefer one over the other. Pi is free too ... Im paying $20 a month for Chat GPT.

  I love Pi, but I'm not on the market for asking it to act like Hitler or talk about relating to Mother Teresa or not. The ability to say "Hey what's happened in the OpenAI saga in the last 8 hours" or "How did <my sports team> do last night" and get a voice response while I'm walking my dog is the sort of thing I care about.

    Sure im just testing how neutral it is as I want my AI as neutral as possible and it's fun to test out using it with friends ... for me personally. I have made Pi go off the rails (things it said in responses to my out there questions lol) with my tests and it has cracked my friends and I up. Fun!

> I am a little annoyed at how much their rollouts often disrupt service for paying customers. Same for me. The days following Dev Day were horrible, and now I'm randomly in a state as if they were rebooting their machines but without killing the session, so that I can continue normally after a minute or so. And since Dev Day GPT-4 is really slow.

  I gave up using it, it really is just too slow.

Really apologize for the disruption, unrelated to the events of this week and also not related to the voice rollout. The team is working fast on a fix! Hang tight.

Same - frankly, it's crazy how often the service is interrupted for paying users.
