ChatGPT's Voice Feature Makes It Feel More Human Than Ever

After years of dealing with voice assistants that constantly misheard me or cut me off mid-sentence, I didn't expect much when I tapped the little wavelength icon to try ChatGPT's Voice Mode. I figured it would be another feature that sounded cool but fell flat in real use. But this one surprised me. Voice Mode doesn't just spit out answers. It actually feels like a real conversation. It picks up on pauses, mumbled thoughts, and even those filler words like "uhhh" without breaking the flow. Whe

This study is part of a growing body of research warning about the risks of deploying AI agents in real-world financial decision-making. Earlier this month, a group of researchers from multiple universities argued that LLM agents should be evaluated primarily on the basis of their risk profiles, not just their peak performance. Current benchmarks, they say, emphasize accuracy and return-based metrics, which measure how well an agent can perform at its best but overlook how safely it can fail. Th
