Most AI chatbots are cold and clinical. OpenAI's new voice mode for ChatGPT is warm and flirty. That could have big, unpredictable consequences https://www.platformer.news/openai-gpt-4o-chatgpt-voice-vision/

ChatGPT’s warm, giggly responses can only be described as flirting. “That’s incredible, Rocky,” it squeals, after learning about the interview. Looking at his unkempt mane, the bot says: “you definitely have the ‘I’ve been coding all night’ look down.” It suggests he run a hand through his hair. After Smith dons a bucket hat and says he’ll wear that to the meeting, the bot laughs — hard. “Oh, Rocky. That’s quite a … statement piece.” It laughs again, and stutters a little. “I mean … you’ll definitely stand out. Though maybe not in the way you’re hoping for an interview?”This warm, generous, supportive banter is exactly what leads Joaquin Phoenix’s character in Her to fall in love with Johansson’s Samantha. And it stands in sharp contrast to the tone of bots from Google, Anthropic, and Meta, which take pains to remind users that they are bots and are never more emotional than a librarian would be in recommending a book.
