OpenAI Faces Backlash Over ChatGPT Voice Resembling Scarlett Johansson
The voice, named Sky, has been pulled after Johansson accused OpenAI of using a voice eerily similar to hers without consent.
- Scarlett Johansson declined OpenAI's offer to voice the ChatGPT assistant, Sky, last year.
- OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had repeatedly sought Johansson's participation, citing her role in the film 'Her.'
- Johansson expressed shock and disbelief at the voice's similarity, leading to legal threats.
- Critics argue this incident highlights broader issues of consent and ethics in AI development.
- OpenAI has paused the use of Sky's voice and issued an apology to Johansson.
