AI Firm Accused of Stealing Scarlett Johansson’s Voice for Flirty Chatbot – Shocking Details Revealed!
The Allegations
ACTRESS Scarlett Johansson has accused the world’s leading AI firm of copying her voice for a flirty new chatbot. The star, 39, said she was angered by the “eerie similarity” of OpenAI’s ChatGPT virtual assistant “Sky”, who giggles at compliments.
The Revelation
Microsoft-backed OpenAI valued at £63billion, said it will scrap the disputed voice from the £18-a-month service. Scarlett revealed: ‘Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system.’
The Response
The Sky voice was used during a promotional event last week, where the chatbot flirted with its human user and held difficult conversations in real time. She revealed: “He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and AI.”
The Controversy
In a scathing letter, Scarlett, who played an AI virtual assistant in the 2013 film Her, wrote: “I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine.” Microsoft-backed OpenAI, valued at £63billion, said it will scrap the disputed voice from the £18-a-month service but denied it was an imitation of the actress.
The Resolution
OpenAI’s model behavior chief, Joanne Jang, added she had been in “conversations” with Ms. Johansson’s team to clarify “confusion” over the model. Last year the actress took legal action against the Lisa AI app, which she claims used her likeness without permission in an advert.
Conclusion
The allegations of Scarlett Johansson accusing the AI firm of copying her voice for a chatbot have sparked controversy and legal actions. The saga continues as OpenAI works to resolve the issue and maintain the integrity of its services. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
