Scarlett Johansson 'shocked' by AI chatbot imitation

Reading Level

Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson recently made headlines when she expressed her shock and anger after OpenAI launched a chatbot with a voice that bore a striking resemblance to hers. The company had approached her earlier to voice the chatbot, but she turned down the offer. When the chatbot, named 'Sky', was released, many people were quick to draw comparisons between its voice and Scarlett Johansson's voice in the 2013 film 'Her'. OpenAI, however, clarified that the voice was not intended to imitate the star. In response, Scarlett Johansson accused the company and its founder, Sam Altman, of deliberately copying her voice. She expressed her disbelief and shock upon hearing the released demo, and even insinuated that the similarity was intentional. The film 'Her' portrays Joaquin Phoenix developing a romantic relationship with his device's operating system, which is voiced by Scarlett Johansson. Despite being a two-time Academy Award nominee, she declined the offer to voice the new chatbot for personal reasons, despite Mr. Altman's belief that her voice would provide comfort to users.
