Amazon (AMZN.O) is planning a major revamp of its decade-old money-losing Alexa service to include a conversational generative AI with two tiers of service and has considered a monthly fee of around $5 to access the superior version, according to people with direct knowledge of the company’s plans.

      The New Siri seems to be quite useful, with “personal context” understanding my calendar, messages, mail etc.

      ChatGPT 4 voice mode is very impressive, with the conversation getting clarifications and finding exactly the information I want (when it is not hallucinating). ChatGPT-4o will be amazing if it is as good as what we saw from the demo.

      It is not for everyone, but I personally use AI chat every day and find it useful.

        I’ll integrate ChatGPT into my household when I can run it locally on my own server computer.

          I am a free user, and it is still chatgpt 4.

          And the new voice model doesn’t seem to be available yet, even for paid users.

              That’s voice chat which has been there for a long time.

              The 4o voice model is different. 4o can chat much more naturally, and you can interrupt the voice chat in 4o.

              Try it, you can’t interrupt the chat unless you touch the screen.

              You can go back to see the 4o voice chat demo, and you will find out which different it is.
