OpenAl is sticking to its story that it never intended to copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice when seeking an actor for ChatGPT’s “Sky” voice mode.

This all “feels personal," the voice actress said, "being that it’s just my natural voice and I’ve never been compared to her by the people who do know me closely.”

This comes at a time when many studios are otherwise intrigued by the idea of using AI for things like digital effects but remain, after a long history of avoiding copyright conflicts, hesitant to connect with any company potentially viewed as stealing artists’ work without consent, Reuters reported.

    Maybe they hired her because of her voice’s the likeness to Johansson. It’s getting 90% of what they wanted but still being legal I’d think.

      Maybe. I don’t claim to know the truth, just saying that thinking they’re being shady is an not unfounded thought
