This might not be OpenAI’s most notable announcement for the holiday season, but it’s certainly interesting. From now on, users can casually talk to Santa Claus via ChatGPT’s voice model.
To take advantage of this feature, go to Settings and select Santa Claus from the list of available voices.
You can also click the snowflake icon that appears when you start voice mode. This works on both the desktop and mobile apps of ChatGPT.
ChatGPT publisher OpenAI says Santa’s voice will only be available until early January. Also note that, as an exception, these conversations will not appear in the history records.
OpenAI will make a series of announcements this December, most notably the official release of Sora, a video generator that can generate original video clips lasting a few seconds based on simple text prompts.
