OpenAI Halts ChatGPT 'Sky' Voice Amid Scarlett Johansson Controversy
May 21, 2024, 12:40 AM
OpenAI has decided to halt the use of one of its ChatGPT voices, named 'Sky,' after users noted its striking resemblance to Scarlett Johansson's voice from the 2013 film 'Her.' This decision follows Johansson's public statement that she was 'shocked, angered, and in disbelief' upon hearing the voice, which she claims mimicked her distinctive tones despite her refusal to collaborate with OpenAI. Johansson has hired legal counsel to address the issue, and there are speculations that OpenAI might have received a lawsuit from the actress. OpenAI insists that 'Sky's' voice is not an imitation of Johansson but belongs to a different voice actress. The controversy was highlighted during a live demonstration over the weekend, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also involved in the discussions.
