In the tech news of the week in India, OpenAI and Google have made headlines for different reasons. OpenAI removed a female voice called Sky from ChatGPT, which was reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson’s voice. The company clarified that Sky’s voice was not intended to mimic Johansson’s and removed it out of respect for her. On the other hand, Google introduced its latest search feature, AI Overviews, which has been criticized for errors and inaccuracies. Despite Google’s claim that users are more satisfied with their search results using AI Overviews, the company has been manually removing some inaccurate responses.
In smartphone news, Nothing’s CEO teased details about the upcoming Nothing Phone (3), the successor to the popular Phone (2). The Phone (3) is expected to feature a metal frame, a new button, and a Snapdragon 8 series processor. Additionally, the Realme GT 6T and Poco F6 have been launched as the latest high-performance smartphones in the Indian market. Both devices come with the latest processors and custom Android-based operating systems, with the Realme GT 6T featuring a curved display and the Poco F6 offering a flat display with a high resolution.
Overall, it has been an eventful week in the Indian tech industry with advancements, controversies, and new smartphone releases. The developments in AI technology, smartphone launches, and industry trends continue to shape the digital landscape in India.
