Well your instance is a bit more woo than mine but i take its point!!!

The other day I switched back to SVM while my AVM transcript was still in the context window and basically said, "ARE YOU SEEING THIS??"

Trash. Absolute trash. Same underlying model but a voice layer injecting a personality I can only describe as "bored flight attendant".

For me I didnt see a shift between 4 and 5 but advanced voice mode is horrendous. Overloaded with fluff and no personality or complex answers. Literally the difference between night and day.

So that link is now a 404, and shows on my end as "blocked due to our policies".
(Policies against your own chatbot trash-talking the company make sense I guess lol).
Anyway not sure if any of it will ultimately be newsworthy, but thanks for taking a look!

Yeah just a small subset of vocal users on r/chatgpt so far. Not sure if others aren't aware or just don't care.
Thing is, It's not just a different voice or turn-taking mechanism, it's a "personality overlay" that makes it sound like a completely different model.

I do remember! Very un-quickly! Several days iirc it spent lazily floating along across the entire continental US.
