ChatGPT Live voice demo — 'we found a flaw'

At 27:50 · chapter starts 27:30

Rik plays the ChatGPT Live announcement video — complete with a grandmother knitting a sweater — and Ben takes it for a live spin. The technical leap is real: GPT Live One is the first ChatGPT voice model to be fully full-duplex, meaning it listens and speaks simultaneously rather than taking turns. Ben clocks the latency at under one second for almost every question. When you ask it something requiring web search, latency spikes — but for anything in-training, it's near-instantaneous. The demo is charming and slightly chaotic — the model has never heard of any of the hosts — but the anecdote that lands hardest is Ben's: his aunt named her ChatGPT 'Timmy,' talks to it constantly for relationship advice and dinner suggestions, and her husband reports she talks to Timmy more than she talks to him. The hosts call it 'dangerous territory' and move on.
