A Reddit user shared their experience with ChatGPT's new Live Voice, calling it insanely realistic.

• Human-like details: Beyond improved audio quality, the conversational rhythm is highly natural. It handles pauses, hesitations, and filler words perfectly, and can even interrupt fluidly, making it feel like it's actually breathing.
• Fun experiment: The user put two phones with Live Voice next to each other to talk, and it sounded exactly like a real human conversation.
• Uncanny valley: Their partner reported getting the creeps because it genuinely felt like talking to a real person.
