The integration of Whisper, OpenAI’s automatic speech recognition system trained on multilingual and multitask supervised data from the web, has enabled enable voice inputs on the ChatGPT app.
Additionally, ChatGPT Plus subscribers on iOS will get exclusive access to GPT-4’s capabilities, early access to features, and faster response times.

Short for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, ChatGPT is a popular AI text generator and has been the center of attention since its launch in November due to its human-like response. OpenAI, the parent of the AI-based text generator, has a “multimillion-dollar investment” by American tech major Microsoft.
Several big players like Google and Baidu gearing up to emulate the success of OpenAI chatbot. However, fake news, plagiarism, biasedness, manipulation, and privacy are some concerns that have led several other authorities across the globe to study and investigate the impact and potential risks that such AI platforms could pose. Meanwhile, the launch of the ChatGPT app on mobile phones could potentially affect and challenge Google’s monopoly in the search engine industry.
