Over the weekend, Colin Jost<\/strong> was pressured to inform a joke about his spouse, Scarlett Johansson<\/a>,<\/strong> throughout Saturday Night Live<\/em>\u2019s season finale<\/a>. As a part of his annual joke swap with Weekend Update<\/em> coanchor Michael Che,<\/strong> through which they learn punch traces neither has seen earlier than airtime, Jost reluctantly learn from a cue card: \u201cChatGPT has released a new voice assistant feature inspired by Scarlett Johansson\u2019s AI character in [the 2013 movie] Her<\/em>, which I\u2019ve never bothered to watch because without that body, what\u2019s the point of listening?\u201d<\/p>\n On Monday, Johansson made it clear that the subject was no laughing matter by releasing an open assertion<\/a> claiming that an OpenAI chatbot\u2019s voice sounded \u201ceerily similar to mine\u201d regardless of her prior refusals to work with the corporate. She alleged that again in September, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman<\/strong> approached her about voicing the corporate\u2019s private assistant, arguing that \u201cmy voice would be comforting to people\u201d because the world grappled with the function of AI in society<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter much consideration and for personal reasons, I declined the offer,\u201d Johansson mentioned. \u201cNine months later, my friends, family and the general public all noted how much the newest system named \u2018Sky\u2019 sounded like me.\u201d The Oscar nominee mentioned the launched demo left her \u201cshocked, angered and in disbelief.\u201d<\/p>\n Hours earlier than Johansson\u2019s assertion was launched, OpenAI disabled use of the chatbot<\/a>, citing \u201cquestions about how we chose the voices in ChatGPT\u201d on X (previously Twitter). Altman has since denied that there’s any connection between Johansson and the Sky voice. \u201cWe cast the voice actor behind Sky\u2019s voice before any outreach to Ms. Johansson,\u201d he mentioned in an announcement shared with a number of<\/a> shops<\/a>. \u201cOut of respect for Ms. Johansson, we have paused using Sky\u2019s voice in our products. We are sorry to Ms. Johansson that we didn\u2019t communicate better.\u201d<\/p>\n Johansson mentioned in her assertion that \u201ctwo days before the ChatGPT 4.0 demo was released,\u201d Altman contacted her agent, \u201casking me to reconsider,\u201d a request she had not addressed by the point of the chatbot\u2019s public debut. In a weblog put up<\/a> on Sunday, OpenAI mentioned that \u201cvoices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity\u2019s distinctive voice\u201d and that Sky \u201cis not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice.\u201d The firm declined to share the performer\u2019s identification out of respect for her privateness.<\/p>\n As the tumultuous relationship between AI and Hollywood<\/a> continues to unfold, Johansson mentioned she has now employed authorized counsel, requesting that Altman and OpenAI \u201cdetail the exact process by which they created the \u2018Sky\u2019 voice.\u201d She continued, \u201cIn a time when we are all grappling with deepfakes and the protection of our own likeness, our own work, our own identities, I believe these are questions that deserve absolute clarity. I look forward to resolution in the form of transparency and the passage of appropriate legislation to help ensure that individual rights are protected.\u201d<\/p>\n Altman\u2019s love for Spike Jonze<\/strong>\u2019s romantic sci-fi movie Her<\/em>\u2014through which a person falls in love with Johansson\u2019s Samantha, the feminine voice of his laptop\u2019s working system\u2014is well-documented. After beforehand calling it his favourite film<\/a>, Altman seemingly nodded to his inspiration by posting the phrase \u201cher\u201d<\/a> on X hours after unveiling Sky. Vanity Fair<\/em> has reached out to Jonze\u2019s reps for remark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Over the weekend, Colin Jost was pressured to inform a joke about his spouse, Scarlett Johansson, throughout Saturday Night Live\u2019s season finale.
