As Christmas approaches in a few weeks, children and adults globally are compiling lists of items they like Santa to deliver via their chimneys. ChatGPT provides the opportunity to communicate directly with Santa.
OpenAI Incorporates Santa into Its Advanced Voice Mode
OpenAI has incorporated Santa into ChatGPT's selection of voices as a seasonal Christmas offering. This indicates that individuals can now opt to communicate with Santa utilizing ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode.
All other speech selections remain available, although who would decline the opportunity to converse with Santa over Vale, Spruce, Maple, and the alternative voices? At least when Santa is accessible for conversation.
The option to communicate with Santa should be accessible through a snowflake symbol located to the right of the prompt bar. Nonetheless, even if only the standard Advanced Voice Mode icon is shown, you should be able to choose Santa from the list of voices that appears upon tapping.

As an adult, I felt compelled to engage with AI Santa personally. It is quite remarkable. The familiar "ho-ho-ho" and the resounding jovial voice we all associate with Santa are prevalent.
I inquired of ChatGPT's depiction of Santa regarding his existence, which elicited a cheerful reply extolling the enchantment of Christmas. I also, quite audaciously, inquired why he was so corpulent. This generated a reaction regarding the consumption of excessive mince pies each Christmas Eve.
It's Pretty Magical, Even for This 40-Something
I must confess, I am quite amazed by ChatGPT's Santa. It resembles Santa, possesses a pleasant demeanor, and replies to inquiries precisely as anticipated. There may be an excess of "ho-ho-hos" that does not appeal to me.
A minor concern is that ChatGPT's terms of usage stipulate that all users must be a minimum of 13 years old. This implies that the primary demographic likely to enjoy chatting with Santa is excluded from the opportunity to do so. Unless parents opt to engage Santa Mode with their child(ren).
The Santa voice of ChatGPT will be accessible globally till early January. At that juncture, no one will regard him at all. This creates the potential for ChatGPT to acquire additional fictional character voices as infrequent rewards throughout the year.
