OpenAI Removes ChatGPT’s Scarlett Johansson-Like Voice Option. A ChatGPT voice known as Sky has made headlines for sounding like Johansson, The Verge reports. Her husband, Colin Jost, even joked about the topic recently on 'Saturday Night Live’. "ChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson’s AI character in ‘Her,’ which I never bothered to watch because without that body, what’s the point of listening?", Colin Jost, via ‘SNL'. But on May 19, OpenAI announced that it will be removing the voice. The company also said that it did not intentionally mean for the voice to resemble Johansson. "We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity’s distinctive voice. Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice.” "To protect their privacy, we cannot share the names of our voice talents.", OpenAI, via statement. The current ChatGPT voice profiles, Breeze, Cove, Ember, Juniper and Sky, were created after receiving over 400 voice and screen actor submissions, OpenAI said. New voice assistant features for ChatGPT will reportedly launch "in the coming weeks”. THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
