ChatGPT disables AI voice after users say it sounds similar to Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson.
ChatGPT-maker OpenAI said it is suspending use of one of its popular AI voices after users noted how similar it sounds to actor Scarlett Johansson's voice. The company's so-called voice mode function, launched in 2023, lets users interact with ChatGPT, widely used 'generative' artificial intelligence software, by speaking to it. It also acts as a text-to-speech tool that reads answers to user prompts in one of five different voice options.
'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,' the company said in the post.OpenAI worked with casting professionals and voice actors, ultimately whittling the five voices down from a pool of 400 options.
