Ask HN: Just tried voice ChatGPT- why so many inflections between words?

1 treyfitty 0 8/16/2025, 3:21:35 PM

I just tried ChatGPT voice and noticed that it inflects many words and especially the last word of a sentence. For Example? this is an example of the inflection? that I noticed in chatGPTs voice?

I asked ChatGPT why it does this so often. I also told ChatGPT to update its memory to eliminate the inflection, but it persists and refuses to stop. Is this a cultural thing or is this what millennials and GenZ believe to be normal? I inquired ChatGPT about this, and the response merely affirmed my hypothesis that it is a regional and cultural thing, especially amongst younger speakers

It’s interesting because I haven’t noticed how often this inflection happens in real life until I Noticed the “natural” tone of ChatGPT, and I immediately realized that I hate that speech pattern.
