Scarlett Johansson is receiving a lot of praise from Susan Bennett, who was the original voice of Siri for Apple. She is praising Johansson for her opposition to ChatGPT’s most recent voice, which sounds inordinately similar to her own.
Speaking on “The TMZ Podcast” on Thursday, Susan recognized that Scarlett’s prominence is really throwing a spotlight on the issue, which has been a problem for a long with a large number of normal voice actors losing out on employment every day as a result of the expansion of artificial intelligence.
Susan claims that even her own renowned voice may be heard in unexpected places, and she depends on her friends to keep an ear out for her resemblance. This allows her agency to trace down the firms that have used her name and ensure that she is compensated for her appearances.
After OpenAI, the business that developed ChatGPT, revealed an artificial intelligence voice that sounded extremely similar to Scarlett’s, Susan has compassion for Scarlett and completely understands why she is getting attorneys involved. This is after Scarlett had previously denied the firm’s offer to be the real voice of their product.
According to what we reported, OpenAI gave the new voice the moniker “Sky” when it was first introduced in December. Many people believed that it was a terrible imitation of Scarlett’s AI character in the film “Her,” which was released in 2013.
When SJ was contacted in September by the company’s top executives, including CEO Sam Altman, about becoming the voice for the current ChatGPT 4.0 model, she made it quite clear that she never given the go-ahead to the idea.
In reaction, Altman said earlier this week to TMZ that the voice of Sky was never supposed to be similar to Scarlett’s. However, out of respect for the actress, they have gone ahead and completely removed the voice.
