Actress Scarlett Johansson forced developer OpenAI to abandon a voice similar to her own in the ChatGPT chatbot. In this respect reports TMZ.
According to Johansson, the voice of the chatbot named Sky, which the company recently introduced, is inspired by the voice of the actor in the movie “Her” starring Joaquin Phoenix, where he was not in the frame and voiced the voice assistant.
According to the actor, in September 2023, OpenAI executive Sam Altman contacted him to officially voice the new ChatGPT model. The actress refused. When Sky audio, made without her participation, was presented in the spring of 2024, Johansson turned to lawyers. He stated that Altman “confessed” to stealing the audio – he posted the word “O” on social networks after the premiere of the audio, possibly referring to the film of the same name. After contacting the star’s lawyers, Sky’s voice was removed from ChatGPT.
“I believe that these issues deserve absolute clarity at a time when we are all fighting against deepfakes and protecting our image, our business, our identity. I look forward to a transparent solution in the form of legislation that will help ensure the protection of individual rights,” says Johansson.
Altman stated that Sky’s voice was not designed to sound like the actor’s.
“Even before we contacted Ms. Johansson, we were casting for the voice of Sky. “Out of respect for him, we have stopped the use of the Sky voice,” he said and apologized to the star.
