OpenAI shared a post yesterday made And “Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson” he said. Today, a new curtain opened in the incident.
First of all, where exactly did this statement come from? Assistant voice used in the new generation voice communication infrastructure prepared for ChatGPT last week. It was directly compared to Scarlett Johansson’s voice in the 2013 movie “Her”. Johansson voiced a digital assistant in that notable film, and it was thought that OpenAI copied this voice. In fact, many comparison videos and special news were shared for this purpose, as below. OpenAI, which wanted to clarify this yesterday, stated that this voice named “Sky” was not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson, but still decided to stop using the voice. As reported by the company, it is in the new generation voice communication infrastructure prepared for ChatGPT. Five different sounds are offered: Breeze, Cove, Ember, Juniper and Sky.. In this respect, “Each of the five different voices you hear was carefully selected after an extensive five-month process with the participation of professional voice actors, talent agencies, casting directors and industry consultants.” The company said, He stated that they evaluated 400 different applications to choose five different voices.

About the process, “We believe that AI assistants’ voices should not deliberately imitate the voices of celebrities. In this context, Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson, It belongs to a different professional actor using his natural speaking voice. “We cannot share the names of our voice actors to protect their privacy.” The company said, Today, this issue is on the agenda again.
Because today I personally Scarlett Johansson involved and important statements made. Johansson first introduced OpenAI, although it did not explicitly allow it to do so. He accused her of copying his voice for one of the voice assistants at ChatGPT. ““Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the ChatGPT 4.0 system.” said Johansson, He said he rejected the offer for personal reasons..
On top of all this, when you saw the demo made by OpenAI Johansson said she was shocked, angry and couldn’t believe the similarity of voice.Sam Altman contacted his representative two days before introducing GPT-4o and He wanted him to rethink the sound issue.but still crashes the system before it has a chance to respond. He said he launched it with a similar voice.
OpenAI, which made a new statement on this issue today, said: “We had already chosen a voice actor for Sky’s voice before we even reached out to Johansson. However, out of respect for Johansson, we have stopped using Sky’s voice in our products. We apologize to Johansson for not being able to communicate better.” said.
