Open AI Used Scarlett Johansson's Voice for New ChatGPT 40
Scarlett Johansson revealed that Open AI used her voice for their new ChatGPT voice assistance called "sky voice". Despite initially refusing to lend her voice to the project, Open AI managed to develop a voice that sounded remarkably similar to hers with the help of an AI assistant. When the demo voice for ChatGPT was released, Scarlett was shocked at how similar it sounded to her own voice. The resemblance was so uncanny that no one could distinguish between the "sky voice" and Scarlett Johansson's actual voice.
Controversy and Resolution
Upon discovering the unauthorized use of her voice, Scarlett took legal action with the assistance of her lawyer. Open AI's CEO, Mr. Altman, later clarified that the similarity was purely coincidental and meant to playfully tease Scarlett, referring to her as "HER" in his statements. Despite Mr. Altman's intentions, Scarlett was steadfast in her decision not to associate her voice with the chatbot due to personal reasons.
Before the release of the new ChatGPT 40 model, Mr. Altman reached out to Scarlett once again through his team and assistant. However, due to conflicting schedules and the announcement of a new product called Splashy, which featured a voice similar to Scarlett's, they were unable to connect.
Implications and Ethical Concerns
The incident raised ethical questions about the use of individuals' voices in AI technology and highlighted the need for safeguards to protect human rights in the rapidly evolving AI landscape. The chatbot's advanced capabilities, including the ability to discern the user's mood through their voice, underscored the potential impact of AI on personal privacy and ethical considerations.
Open AI's ChatGPT voice offers five combination voices to enhance user interactions with AI assistants. The premium voice mode is available for subscribers, enabling a more personalized experience. The latest model from Open AI boasts improved speed and efficiency compared to its predecessors.
Overall, the controversy surrounding Scarlett Johansson's voice and Open AI's ChatGPT serves as a cautionary tale about the ethical use of technology and the importance of respecting individuals' voices and identities in the digital realm.
