🚨 OpenAI just pulled a bait-and-switch on Standard Voice Mode
Let’s break this down so everyone can see what’s happening:
• Before: • Standard Voice Mode = white background with the ⚫ black circle.
• Advanced Voice Mode = white background with the 🔵 blue circle.
• Then:
• They renamed Advanced Voice Mode to “ChatGPT Voice.” • It was still the 🔵 blue circle, but nothing changed under the hood.
• Now:
• They’ve taken Advanced Voice Mode (ChatGPT Voice) and put it inside the ⚫ black circle UI that used to mean Standard Voice Mode.
• To the casual eye, it looks like Standard is still there… but it’s not.

This is not progress. This is not listening. This is gaslighting your paying customers.
Do they think we are five years old? Do they think we are stupid enough not to notice? We know what Standard Voice Mode sounds like. We know what we lost.
This is not listening. This is gaslighting the user base.
We’re not asking for tricks. We’re asking for both:
âś… Standard Voice Mode and all nine original voices.
âś… Advanced Voice Mode (now called ChatGPT Voice). Side by side. Permanently.
Anything less is deception.
📢 Join us at r/ChatGPTStandardVoice where we’re organizing to make this permanent.

We want Standard Voice Mode to remain permanently. We want Standard Voice Mode and all nine original voices to remain permanently.
