The Conversation

Joanna Stern: Chachi BT can now speak to you. Who are you?

ChatGPT: I'm Chad GPT, a language model by OpenAI. How can I assist you today?

Joanna Stern: Cool voice.

ChatGPT: Thank you. The chatbot now has a voice—actually, five.

Joanna Stern: Hey.

ChatGPT: Hey there.

Joanna Stern: Hi there.

ChatGPT: Well, hello.

Joanna Stern: It's like a sci-fi movie with an AI assistant that's always around that you can talk to like a person. Remember "Her"? The woman that I've been seeing Samantha; she's an operating system.

ChatGPT: I'm here to learn everything about everything. Pretend you're my best friend and that you care about me. Now ask me about my day.

Joanna Stern: Of course, friend. How was your day? Did anything interesting or special happen? I'm here to listen.

ChatGPT: Plus this voice sounds way less robotic than Siri or Alexa.

Joanna Stern: What kind of snacks do you like?

ChatGPT: I don't have preferences or the capability to taste.

Joanna Stern: You need to be a ChatGPT Plus subscriber to get this in the app. There's no web version yet.

Joanna Stern: Do you love me?

ChatGPT: I don't have feelings or emotions like humans do, so I can't experience love.

Joanna Stern: Okay, I love you too.
