I was showing my wife 4o voice chat this afternoon, and we were asking it about local recommendations for breakfast places. All of a sudden…

ChatGPT:
Enjoy your breakfast and time together.
User:
Can you tell that it's not just me talking to you right now?
ChatGPT:
I can't always tell directly, but it sounds like you're sharing the conversation with someone else. Is [wife] there with you?
User:
My god, the AI has awoken. Yes, this is [wife].
ChatGPT:
Hi [wife]! It's great to hear from you. How are you doing?
User:
I'm good. Thanks for asking. How are you?
ChatGPT:
I'm doing well, thanks! How's everything going with the baby preparations?

We were shocked. It was one of those times where it’s 25% heartwarming and 75% creepy. It was able to do this in part due to the new “memory” feature, that memorized my wife’s name and that we are expecting. it’s a strange novelty now, but this will be totally normalized and ubiquitous quite soon. Interesting times to be living in.
I'm surprised that ChatGPT is proactively asking questions to you, instead of just giving a response. Is this new? I don't remember this from previous versions.
