ChatGPT suspends voice 'eerily similar' to Scarlett Johansson after legal action
==========

OpenAI has decided to 'pause' the use of one of the voices in ChatGPT named Sky, which drew comparisons to Scarlett Johansson's voice. Some users noticed a similarity between Johansson's voice and the voice option named Sky in the app. Johansson had declined an offer to lend her voice to the system. After hearing the released demo, she was shocked and angered that the voice sounded so similar to hers. OpenAI agreed to take down the Sky voice after Johansson hired lawyers. OpenAI stated that the voice does not deliberately mimic Johansson's voice but belongs to a different professional actress. The company had carefully selected the voices through an extensive process involving professional voice actors, talent agencies, and industry advisers. OpenAI recently unveiled its new AI model, GPT-4o, with more conversational and human-sounding responses. The updated features will be rolled out to paying ChatGPT subscribers in the coming weeks.
