A software engineer with WebRTC experience at Twitch and Discord criticizes OpenAI's use of WebRTC for voice AI, arguing the protocol is poorly suited for the application because it aggressively degrades audio quality to maintain low latency and creates port allocation issues at scale. The author contends that voice AI would benefit more from buffering and retransmission capabilities rather than WebRTC's real-time conference call optimizations.
