Scarlett Johansson has publicly criticized OpenAI for releasing a new version of ChatGPT with a voice she claims is 'eerily similar' to her own. OpenAI's 'Sky' voice has been analyzed by voice researchers who found it to be more similar to Johansson's voice than 98% of other actresses, including Anne Hathaway. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and the company have denied these claims, stating that the voice was never intended to resemble Johansson's. Altman also mentioned that he had contacted Johansson regarding the use of her voice. The controversy has been widely covered, including by MSN.
