Scarlett Johansson indicted on Monday OpenAI create a voice for the ChatGPT system that sounds “eerily similar” to her own, after she refused to voice the new technology.
Johansson made the comments in a statement released hours after the artificial intelligence company said it was removing a voice named “Sky”.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said in a statement emailed to Reuters that Skye’s voice was not an imitation of Johansson, but rather that of another professional actress.
The fight over the rights to the voices and images of actors has become a major focus in Hollywood as studios consider how to use artificial intelligence to create new entertainment and computer-generated images and sounds become increasingly difficult to distinguish from human ones.
Johansson said Altman approached her last September and offered to hire her to provide the voice of ChatGPT. she declined the offer.
Johansson added that Altman “hinted that the similarity was intentional” by tweeting a link to “Her,” the 2013 film about a man who develops a relationship with an artificial intelligence assistant voiced by the actress.
Johansson’s note was published by journalists from NPR and other media outlets. His publicist also shared this with Reuters.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment following Johansson’s statement. He said he hired a lawyer to advise him on the process of creating the voice.
Last week, OpenAI demonstrated its latest AI model, called GPT-4o, with audio capabilities that allow users to talk to a chatbot and receive responses in real time, marking significant progress in AI conversations that sound more realistic.
