OpenAl is sticking to its story that it never intended to copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice when seeking an actor for ChatGPT’s “Sky” voice mode.

This all “feels personal," the voice actress said, "being that it’s just my natural voice and I’ve never been compared to her by the people who do know me closely.”

This comes at a time when many studios are otherwise intrigued by the idea of using AI for things like digital effects but remain, after a long history of avoiding copyright conflicts, hesitant to connect with any company potentially viewed as stealing artists’ work without consent, Reuters reported.

    They approached her to do the voice because of the movie. She declined. Then they announce the new voice and make a bunch of public references to the movie.

    I may not have have a great ear, but I have excellent pattern recognition.

      Yeah, but you can also argue it away by him just advertising out selling something like the AI from “Her”. If you listen to any of the side by side youtube videos the voices sound pretty different. It obviously would have been great advertising to have the Sci fi tech voiced by scarjo to become the real tech, voiced by scarjo.
