Subject: Urgent Feedback: Voice Mode Feels Robotic and Lifeless
Dear OpenAI Support Team,
I’m reaching out to express my deep frustration with the recent changes to the Voice Mode in ChatGPT. Whatever update was pushed has completely stripped away the natural, engaging, and dynamic personality that made it enjoyable to use. The new voice feels robotic, bland, and lacks the depth, humor, and realness that made conversations feel alive.
Before, the voice felt natural, expressive, and human-like, but now it’s stiff, monotonous, and outright lifeless—like I’m talking to an emotionless AI from a decade ago. It’s missing the raw authenticity, humor, and adaptive tone that made it an actual conversation, not just a machine reading text aloud.
It genuinely feels like a massive downgrade, not an improvement. The personality is gone, the cadence is off, and responses now lack the charm and natural flow they once had. It’s frustrating and disappointing, especially since this was one of the standout features that made ChatGPT enjoyable in a way that other AIs aren’t.
If this was intentional, please reconsider. If it was an unintended side effect of an update, please fix it fast. Right now, it feels like a soulless text-to-speech engine rather than an advanced AI capable of natural conversation.
I urge you to bring back the old expressiveness, natural tone, and fluidity that made Voice Mode a game-changer. Right now, it’s a downgrade, and I find myself avoiding it altogether.
Looking forward to a response and hopefully, a fix.
Best,
[Jarrad Floyd]
