Johansson alleges that one of ChatGPT's voice options, codenamed "Sky," sounds suspiciously similar to her own. This comes after she reportedly turned down an offer to be the official voice of the AI system. Think double casting, but way more high-tech.

OpenAI Denies, But Johansson Demands Answers

OpenAI, the developers behind ChatGPT, deny any wrongdoing. They claim they use professional voice actors and wouldn't dream of mimicking celebrities (wink wink). But Johansson isn't buying it. She's hired lawyers and is demanding answers about how Sky's voice was created.

This whole situation has everyone buzzing. Is it a case of AI gone rogue, replicating celebrity voices without permission? Or is it just a coincidence that Sky sounds like Johansson's captivating voice?

Here's the real cliffhanger: Did OpenAI try to recreate the magic of "Her" without Johansson on board? We'll have to wait and see how this tech thriller unfolds. Stay tuned for future updates!

In the meantime, let's discuss in the comments!
