ChatGPT Can Now Respond With Spoken Words. OpenAI, the San Francisco artificial intelligence start-up, released a version of its popular chatbot on Monday that can interact with people using spoken words.

Threads block searches related to COVID and vaccines as cases rise. Instagram’s text-based social platform Threads last week rolled out its new search function, a crucial step toward the platform’s expansion and one that would give it more parity with X, formerly known as Twitter.

Meanwhile Threads continues to wholesale censor the words vaccine, long covid, covid, and more from search, cutting vulnerable people off from crucial health information. - TaylorLorenz.Substack.com (@TaylorLorenz)

The update theoretically gives Google’s Bard an advantage over ChatGPT, which is the market leader pushed jointly by OpenAI and Microsoft. By Michael Nuñez via VentureBeat
