the Black Widow The star called the CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman She was accused of using a voice in her artificial intelligence software that she believed sounded like her own without her consent, she said in a statement issued by her representative to NBC News on May 20. According to Johansson, the businessman sent her an offer in September to be hired as the voice of the ChatGPT 4.0 system, but she turned it down.

“He said he felt that my voice would reassure people,” she said. “After much thought and for personal reasons, I declined the offer.”

However, Johansson accused the company of going ahead with a voice that “sounds like me” without her approval for their new system called “Sky”, even saying that her “friends, family and the general public all noticed” the similarities.

The 39-year-old continued: “When I heard the demo that was released, I was shocked, angry and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would go with a sound that sounded eerily similar to mine.” “Mr. Altman even hinted that the similarity was intentional, tweeting out the single word ‘she’ — a reference to the movie in which I voiced a chat system, Samantha, who forms an intimate relationship with a human.” (Altman tweeted this on May 13.)
