  • OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4o demo featured an AI voice eerily similar to Scarlett Johansson’s character in a 2013 movie.
  • The actor released a statement today expressing shock and anger over her likeliness in the voice.
  • Johansson had received an offer from OpenAI to voice the AI assistant, which she declined.

OpenAI made news last week when it demonstrated its updated ChatGPT-4o model, which could talk, laugh, and react like a human. However, many users immediately noticed that the model reminded them of an *actual* human, Scarlett Johansson.

In a surprising turn of events, Scarlett Johansson has now publicly accused OpenAI of using a voice eerily similar to hers for one of its ChatGPT-4o voices, “Sky.”
