Surely the number refers to the total users of ChatGPT overall, and the fraction of those who use voice features is considerably smaller, is it not?
That’s the kind of thing that influences business decisions like knowing how much hardware and software optimization to throw at a problem.
- stuartmemo 6mo agoYeah, that's why they've used "reach" - the total number of users who could be exposed to the feature regardless of engagement.

- janalsncm 6mo agoTo defend them a little: voice is a little rough around the edges now, so there’s a chicken and egg problem of whether to prioritize improving voice if usage isn’t high partially because it’s clunky.
- notfromhere 6mo agoid rather use the thinking models so the voice mode isnt' useful, i do use voice-to-text more and more just to speed things up though
