Sam Altman Watches Awkwardly As He's Shown Bizarre ChatGPT Issue: "Uh, Maybe, Uhhh..."
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had an awkward and telling reaction after he was shown a bizarre issue with ChatGPT's voice mode.
AI is teaching us to speak like bots, and it’s a problem - Fast Company
AI is creeping into our everyday conversations, making us less patient and teaching us to 'prompt' others instead of talking to them.
What the heck is wrong with our AI overlords?
New profile of Sam Altman shines a light on a whole industry.
LLMs and people both learn to form conventions -- just not with each other
Humans align to one another in conversation -- adopting shared conventions that ease communication. We test whether LLMs form the same kinds of conventions in a multimodal communication game. Both humans and LLMs display evidence of convention-formation (increasing the accuracy and consistency of their turns while decreasing their length) when communicating in same-type dyads (humans with humans, AI with AI). However, heterogenous human-AI pairs fail -- suggesting differences in communicative tendencies. In Experiment 2, we ask whether LLMs can be induced to behave more like human conversants, by prompting them to produce superficially humanlike behavior. While the length of their messages matches that of human pairs, accuracy and lexical overlap in human-LLM pairs continues to lag behind that of both human-human and AI-AI pairs. These results suggest that conversational alignment requires more than just the ability to mimic previous interactions, but also shared interpretative biases toward the meanings that are conveyed.

I think it's non-obvious to many people that the OpenAI voice mode runs on a much older, much weaker model - it feels like the AI that you can talk to should be the smartest AI but it really isn't https://t.co/bZ0Qqx9Sa9— Simon Willison (@simonw) April 10, 2026

Sam Altman’s second thoughts
OpenAI’s CEO is asking the public to lower the temperature on AI. But who turned it up in the first place?
I think it’s telling that people very interested in AI (like Eugene and myself) still have no interest in using it as a proxy for human communication. “Being a good writer” is not the same thing as having social agency, and making the models even better at writing won’t change that.

When you deploy heavily LLM text, you currently have no way to prove that you actually read it and therefore cannot convince me to read it
