Recently, OpenAI has introduced a new update ‘Santa Mode’ for ChatGPT, where the bot responds in the voice of Santa Claus. This feature is part of the 12 Days of OpenAI event, a series of updates. Users can turn on Santa Mode by clicking the snowflake button next to the prompt bar at the top of ChatGPT. This mode captures the jovial characteristics associated with Santa, intended to improve the usage during the festive period.
Santa Mode is incorporated into the Advanced Voice Mode, but it brings something more appropriate for the winter holidays and will certainly be liked by families with children. With the arrival of the holiday season, this feature is more engaging for the users as it brightens up the festive atmosphere while integrating AI.
Another feature OpenAI unveiled in its recent product release is real-time video interpretation. This development allows ChatGPT to respond to users in real-time through live video feeds, offering the AI view of the users to respond to them. When integrated with Santa Mode, this feature can send targeted festive messages and chats, which will help make communication better and more exciting during the Christmas season.
To enable the Santa Mode feature globally, OpenAI has made the feature available on its ChatGPT website and in its applications for Android and iOS devices as well as Windows and MacOS. Such a broad availability should raise an inference of spreading happiness globally with others who can use this application and experience a digital Santa Claus.
To address privacy, OpenAI has changed to stop interaction in Santa Mode from being stored in the chat history, honoring user privacy. The company has been committed to making this decision, especially for a feature that is often going to be used by children and one that is important in the quest for user safety and privacy.
In addition, OpenAI has temporarily reset usage limits for Advanced Voice Mode during the holiday season. This approach improves user experience and promotes inclusivity, allowing more people to interact with the AI.
