OpenAI's Standard Voice option is being retired, prompting a Reddit post of appreciation: the unglamorous feature made it easier for one user to get through the day — "a small thing that worked and gave me a little bit of light." The post's title, "The benchmark nobody measures," points at product value that no benchmark captures, and invites others helped by the feature to share their stories.
