ChatGPT have managed to create an AI voice that is described as “merry and bright” and closely follows the speech patterns used by Hollywood depictions of old Saint Nick.

The upgrade is a part of Open AI’s spectacular 12 days of OpenAI campaign where they release a new feature every two days until Christmas.

Dubbed Santa Mode, it is available to everyone using ChatGPT on their mobile, web app or desktop apps on MacOS and Windows.

In order to access the Santa Claus speech users need to open up ChatGPT and find the snowflake icon next to the prompt bar.

The virtual voice should then be a drop down option which when clicked transforms AI across to the North Pole.

Santa Mode is set to remain available to users across the globe until early January.

ChatGPT will work the exact same way as normal when the voice is on with only the tone changing.

This also means that the chats with Santa won’t be remembered and saved in the chat history.

It is being mainly aimed at young families with children as it gives them a chance to speak directly to Father Christmas through the clever technology.

It comes just months after OpenAI allowed anyone to use ChatGPT for free without even needing an account.

“We’re rolling this out gradually, with the aim to make AI accessible to anyone curious about its capabilities,” OpenAI explained.

Currently more than 100 million people are using ChatGPT weekly across 185 countries, according to OpenAI.

CHAT’S GREAT?

ChatGPT is a powerful chatbot created by OpenAI.

It’s based on a large language model that means it can process your sentences and respond almost as if it was another human.

The app launched on November 30, 2022 and saw a rapid rise in popularity.

Part of the app’s appeal is how natural it feels to speak to ChatGPT.

“These models were trained on vast amounts of data from the internet written by humans, including conversations, so the responses it provides may sound human-like,” OpenAI explained.

“It is important to keep in mind that this is a direct result of the system’s design (i.e. maximising the similarity between outputs and the dataset the models were trained on).

And the content you provide to the chatbot can also be used to train OpenAI’s models.

However, you can opt out of this by going into ChatGPT settings if you have an account.

It was even revealed that the groundbreaking artificially intelligent chatbot will soon be smarter than any human on Earth “in a few thousand days”, according to its creator.

In a personal blog post titled “The Intelligence Age”, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman wrote: “It is possible that we will have superintelligence in a few thousand days (!); it may take longer, but I’m confident we’ll get there.

“How did we get to the doorstep of the next leap in prosperity? In three words: deep learning worked.”

AI is still a highly contentious piece of tech for millions across the globe.

Many fear it will soon become too powerful with humans potentially being over reliant on the system.

Others have concerns over how it may affect various industries and workplaces if robots or chatbots could replace humans.

Ethics, privacy and misinformation worries are also some of the most common objections to the rise of artificial intelligence.
