Subject: Voice Mode Feedback – Loss of Conversational Depth & Natural Tone
Message:
As a long-time user of ChatGPT, I’m deeply disappointed by the recent changes to the voice feature in the advanced modes. The original “Cove” voice had a natural, articulate tone with thoughtful pacing and elaboration. It made conversations feel meaningful and encouraged deeper engagement. The current voice models (even in Pro) feel robotic, flat, and rushed. Regardless of the voice chosen, they lack the warmth, depth, and expressiveness that made the original experience so special. The difference is stark—I now avoid using voice entirely and prefer the keyboard, which is a shame, given how strong this feature once was. Please consider bringing back the original “Cove” style voice or giving users access to it again. The change has negatively impacted both usability and the emotional connection many of us had with the app.
