Scarlett Johansson criticised OpenAI for using a voice that sounded like hers in its new ChatGPT product. OpenAI announced on Monday that it would stop using the voice, named “Sky”, but didn’t explain why. The voice was showcased last week when ChatGPT-4o was introduced. Scarlett stated she had declined an offer from OpenAI to voice its AI system nine months ago for ‘personal reasons’. She was ‘shocked’ and ‘angered’ when she heard the voice and said it was so similar to hers that even her friends and news outlets couldn’t tell the difference. The actress mentioned in her statement, “As a result of their actions, I was forced to hire legal counsel, who wrote two letters to Mr. Altman and OpenAI, setting out what they had done and asking them to detail the exact process by which they created the “Sky” voice. Consequently, OpenAI reluctantly agreed to take down the “Sky” voice.” ChatGPT Scarlett Johansson Voice: OpenAI Reportedly Working To Pull ‘Sky’s Voice’ Due to It Sounding Similar to Hollywood Actress, Company Further Explains Its Voice Selection Process.
