OpenAI Pauses ChatGPT's 'Sky' Voice Amid Scarlett Johansson Legal Action
May 20, 2024, 09:14 PM
OpenAI has paused the use of the 'Sky' voice in its ChatGPT system following widespread criticism that it closely resembled the voice of actress Scarlett Johansson from the 2013 movie 'Her'. OpenAI clarified that the 'Sky' voice was not an imitation of Johansson but was provided by a different professional actress. The controversy escalated when Johansson revealed that she had declined an offer from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to use her voice for ChatGPT. Johansson expressed shock and anger upon hearing the 'Sky' voice, which she claimed sounded eerily similar to hers. Following legal action and legal letters from Johansson, OpenAI decided to suspend the use of the 'Sky' voice.
