ChatGPT Voice Mode Suddenly Talks to Itself
Insainous · reddit · 2026-07-18
A user encountered an absurd glitch in ChatGPT's voice mode: while chatting about the PS5, switching to voice mode caused the model to suddenly start talking to "itself" in another language, sounding like a podcast discussing early 2000s Bollywood music.
The user later provided an English transcript of the back-and-forth banter: one person was nostalgic, the other slightly critical, debating how older songs carry more emotion while new ones are "streaming-optimized," eventually concluding that "songs are anchors for memories."
The focus here isn't the content itself, but rather voice mode turning a single-user chat into a dual-person podcast-style output, looking like a bizarre hallucination or mode-switching error.
