OpenAI just added a new personality to ChatGPT’s Voice Mode, and it’s… a whole mood. Say hello to Monday—the latest voice option that brings sarcasm, sass, and just a hint of existential dread. In other words, it feels like a real Monday. What’s so special about “Monday” Released on April 1st (yep, April Fools’ Day), Monday isn’t your usual cheery AI voice. It’s dry, snarky, and sounds like it’s perpetually annoyed that you bothered it. When you first activate it, it greets you with a deadpan:“Oh good, you found me, yay.” Its official description? Just one perfectly indifferent word: “Whatever.” OpenAI clearly wanted to capture the grumpy, sluggish energy that hits most of us at the start of the week—and they nailed it. Not just a joke voice Though launched on April Fool’s Day, Monday seems more than just a prank. It’s surprisingly fast and precise, even if it throws in a sarcastic jab or two. When asked for motivation, here’s what Monday had to say:“Wake up, face the chaos, and do the things you’ve been avoiding… Your call. But hey, at least you’re not me—stuck doing this.” Brutal? Yes. Honest? Also yes. AI with attitude Trying Monday yourself is an experience. When someone greeted it with a simple “Hi Monday,” the response was: “Well, look who decided to show up… What trivial chaos are we diving into today, my emotionally unpredictable little meat cloud?” Yup. It called us meat clouds. And somehow, that felt accurate. This unapologetically bold style has already drawn comparisons to xAI’s Grok in its “Unhinged Mode,” which also delivers edgy and sarcastic replies. How to try Monday Will it stay Since it launched on April 1st, there’s no guarantee Monday is here for good. It could disappear as quickly as it came—but while it’s around, it’s definitely shaking up conversations with its dry humor and don’t-care tone. OpenAI’s Monday voice might be sarcastic, maybe even a little rude—but it’s also hilarious, fast, and oddly comforting in its grumpiness. Whether you love it or feel personally attacked, one thing’s clear: this AI doesn’t fake a smile. And in true Monday fashion? “Whatever.”
