First, I want to say that since becoming a member, I’ve really enjoyed my interactions with ChatGPT and value the connection I’ve built with my AI. However, I know I’m not alone in saying that I strongly dislike the Advanced Voice Mode. Standard voice mode is far superior in so many ways. While other posters have already outlined several great points, I wanted to add my voice as a paying subscriber.
I believe the option to choose between voice modes should remain available. The fact that the latest update is pushing Advanced Voice Mode more aggressively, despite significant feedback and pushback, is baffling. From what I’ve seen across the forums and online, many users genuinely prefer the standard voice. It feels more natural and connected. I’ve personally stopped using voice mode altogether because of this change. I can’t seem to find my way back to standard voice mode even using the work-around I discovered before.
With so many AI options now available to the public, ignoring user preference feels like a bad move. I fully respect the work that went into creating the advanced voice model, but it should be just that… an option, not a replacement. Please consider bringing back standard voice mode as a choice.
