I know I’ve been talking about ChatGPT all month, but before we get started let’s do a quick summary of what it is. 

It’s essentially an Artificial Intelligence (AI) assistant that helps you write stories, generate ideas, understand and respond to questions and can provide the best answers to any questions you might have. It’s able to do this because it was trained by consuming billions of pieces of public internet text data. 

Well, guess what? It now has added voice capabilities for you to talk and listen directly to ChatGPT. 

And guess what else? I am going to show you exactly how to add it to your program. 

By clicking one simple button, you are now able to talk to ChatGPT almost as if you were talking to a friend who just happens to know everything (I have a feeling you already know someone like this) and in every language. So, let’s do this!!

First, you need to add a plugin to enable voice. There are a lot of options out there, but I will give you two options that are known to be the most effective.

Option 1: Voice Control

1. Open your Chrome Browser.
2. Go to this link. It’s a Voice Control for ChatGPT chrome extension.
3. Click on “Add to Chrome.”
4. Log into your ChatGPT by going to this link: https://chat.openai.com/
5. You will see a grey/brown bar at the bottom of the page. You are all set. Push your spacebar down, speak, then, let go. ChatGPT will start talking back to you.
6. You’ll need to repeat the process if you have more questions.

This is a very simple option. 

Option 2: Talk to ChatGPT

1. Open your Chrome Browser.
2. Go to this link. It’s a Talk to ChatGPT chrome extension.
3. Click on “Add to Chrome.”
4. Log into your ChatGPT by going to this link: https://chat.openai.com/
5. You’ll see a grey box on the top right corner that says “Talk to ChatGPT” – hit the start button
6. Once you hit the start button, you are now engaged in a normal conversation. You don’t have to push any more buttons. It’s like you have a person sitting next to you waiting for you to ask whatever you want. Try it, it’s pretty fun.
7. You can click on the mic icon to disable the AI listening to you.

This is a more advanced option. It offers a lot more features, adjustments and tools. This is the option I chose.

Which leads us to the biggest question of the day: If you could talk to a robot, what is the first question you would ask?

It makes me think of how people say, “When I get to heaven, this is the first conversation I want to have with God.” Or a movie like Close Encounters of the Third Kind – what would be the first thing you’d say if you met an alien??

For me, I clicked that grey box, and knowing I had a brilliant AI mind there at my disposal, I simply asked:

“Can you please select all the squares that contain traffic lights?”

Sorry ChatGPT, just had to mess with you.
