OpenAI Faces Backlash Over Scarlett Johansson-Like Voice in ChatGPT 4.0, Johansson Hires Legal Counsel
May 20, 2024, 10:31 PM
OpenAI has faced backlash for using a voice in its ChatGPT 4.0 system that closely resembles actress Scarlett Johansson's voice. Johansson revealed that OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, had previously approached her to voice the AI assistant, an offer she declined. Despite her refusal, OpenAI released a voice that many found eerily similar to Johansson's, leading to public outcry and ethical concerns. Johansson has since hired legal counsel to address the issue, as she felt violated by the unauthorized use of a voice similar to hers. OpenAI has stated that the voice, named 'Sky,' was not intended to imitate Johansson. The controversy has prompted OpenAI to disclose more about its process for casting voice actors for its AI systems. Johansson's statement expressed shock and disbelief upon hearing the demo.
