Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson has expressed shock and anger after claiming that ChatGPT stole her voice. The acclaimed actress revealed that she had turned down an offer to lend her voice to the AI system, named Sky, last September.
According to Johansson, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman approached her with the opportunity to voice the ChatGPT 4.0 system, believing that her involvement could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives. However, Johansson declined the offer, citing concerns about the seismic shift between humans and AI.
The actress’s allegations have sparked a debate about the use of celebrity voices in AI technology and the ethical implications of such practices. While some argue that celebrity voices can enhance user experience and make AI more relatable, others question the consent and compensation involved in using a star’s voice without their permission.
Johansson’s revelation has brought attention to the intersection of technology and entertainment, highlighting the need for clear guidelines and ethical considerations in the development of AI systems. As the debate continues, it remains to be seen how companies will address the concerns raised by Johansson and others in the industry.
