OpenAI introduced its new ChatGPT model, ChatGPT-4o, at last week’s event, and Sky, the new voice of artificial intelligence, mesmerized people with her answers and sounded familiar. It was later claimed that this voice was too similar to the AI voiced by Scarlett Johansson in the movie Her. The famous actress announced that she and her lawyer are looking into the situation.
Scarlett Johansson made a statement about the ChatGPT Sky controversy
The similarity of the Sky voice in OpenAI’s new GPT-4o model to Scarlett Johansson’s artificial intelligence character in the movie “Her” attracted attention. Johansson announced that she hired legal counsel to find out how the voice was developed. OpenAI, on the other hand, claims that the voice is not based on Johansson.
OpenAI decided to retire its new voice model Sky after users reported that it sounded too similar to Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in the movie “Her”. Johansson said in a statement that she has hired legal counsel to find out how the voice was developed.
OpenAI argued that the voice was not based on Johansson. However, Johansson said that OpenAI had previously contacted her about using her voice.
Following Johansson’s statements, the development process of OpenAI’s Sky voice model became the subject of debate. While the company maintains that Sky is not based on Johansson’s voice, Johansson has provided documentation to support this claim.
Johansson reiterated her claims that OpenAI contacted her and asked to use her voice, but she refused. This has called into question the accuracy of the company’s statements and led to the initiation of legal proceedings.
