  • The American artificial intelligence company OpenAI has removed one of its ChatGPT voices.
  • 2
  • The move came after actor Scarlett Johansson said the voice sounded "eerily similar" to her voice in the movie Her.
  • 3
  • In a post Monday on the social media service X, OpenAI said it is "working to pause" Sky.
  • 4
  • That is the name of one of five voices that ChatGPT users can choose to speak with in its artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot.
  • 5
  • In a statement, Johansson said that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had asked her last September if she would lend her voice to the ChatGPT system.
  • 6
  • Johansson said she declined the offer.
  • 7
  • Johansson said, "When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine."
  • 8
  • She added that her close friends and even the news media "could not tell the difference" between her voice and the voice of Sky.
  • 9
  • Johansson said OpenAI agreed to take down the Sky voice after her lawyers asked about the process by which the company came up with the voice.
  • 10
  • OpenAI said in an online post that the voice of Sky belongs to a "different professional actress."
  • 11
  • But it added that it could not share the name of that actress for privacy reasons.
  • 12
  • In an email sent to The Associated Press following Johansson's statement Monday, Altman said that OpenAI selected the voice actor behind Sky "before any outreach" to Johansson.
  • 13
  • "The voice of Sky is not Scarlett Johansson's, and it was never intended to resemble hers," Altman added.
  • 14
  • OpenAI added voice capabilities to ChatGPT last September.
  • 15
  • The feature is called "Voice Mode."
  • 16
  • It permits users to have a conversation with the AI assistant.
  • 17
  • In November, OpenAI announced that the feature would become free for all users with the mobile app.
  • 18
  • Last week, OpenAI showed off its latest AI model, called ChatGPT-4o.
  • 19
  • The program lets users speak to the chatbot and get real-time answers.
  • 20
  • The chatbot now has emotion in its voice and even tries to understand a person's emotional state by looking at a selfie video of their face.
  • 21
  • The capabilities have brought comparisons to the 2013 movie Her.
  • 22
  • The film follows a man who falls in love with an AI assistant, which is voiced by Johansson.
  • 23
  • Altman appeared to make the same comparison.
  • 24
  • He wrote the word "her" on the social media service X on the day of GPT-4o's release.
