NEW: Scarlett Johansson Says OpenAI Stole Her Voice For ChatGPT GPT-4o 🎤

De opening eyes steal Scarlet Johansson's voice and use it without her permission for the latest dpd 40 voice model let's dive right into [Music] it all right so here is the official statement from um Scarlett Johansson and we'll get into an example of each of the voices in just a second but you can see here statement from Scarlet Johansson and this got 18 million views on um on X so definitely a really big um trending topic and this is important due

To the fact that you know a big celebrity and uh you know a lot of public um you know eyes on this could influence you know more regulations Etc but let's go into what she said so last September I received an offer from Sam Alman who wanted to hire me to the voice of the current jgpt 4.0 system he told me that by my voicing the system I could bring the Gap bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help

Consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning concerning uh humans and Ai and he said that uh my voice he felt that my voice would be comforting to people after much consideration and for personal reasons I declined the offer 9 months later my friends family and the general public all noted how the newest system named Sky sounded just like me when I heard the release demo I was shocked angered and IND disbelief that Mr Alman would pursue a voice that

Sounded so early similar to mine that my closest friends and my and news outlets could not tell the difference Mr Alman even insinuated that he that the similarity was intentional between TW in a single word her a reference of the film which I voice a chat system Samantha Who forms an intimate relationship with a human 2 days before the chpt 40 demo was released Mr Alman contacted my agent asking me to reconsider before we could connect the system was out there

As a result of their actions I was forced to hire legal cancel who wrote two letters to Mr om man and open AI sting out setting out what they had done and asking them the detail and to detail the exact process by which they created The Voice Sky consequently open AI reluctantly agreed to take down the sky voice in a time when we are all grappling with deep figes 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 okay so that is Scarlet Johansson's um what she said about things and here is an example of what we got Sam ultman tweeting out so he referenced the movie her or well at least that's what we think he said her which is you know the timing and and everything between

What you know is going on what's transpiring here you know Sam tweeting that out him apparently you know trying to hit her up a few days before the launch and some people are saying it definitely sounds similar which I mean isn't really a good look necessarily I mean even if they are innocent in terms of this whole thing it's not a good look because so many eyes are already kind of looking at open AI right now and they got some drama

Kind of going on with Ilia leaving Jan leaving and you know people are wondering like can they trust opening is this company that the one that we want to be at the Forefront of the biggest technical reev revolution of human existence um so some people are questioning it right with what's going on with their safety and privacy as well as you know stuff like this um now some people are saying that it doesn't sound like um like some people are saying

It doesn't sound like scar Johansson um and I'll play some of that in just a second this is what opening I said um so they actually released this on their website how the voices for chat GPT were chosen and I'm not going to read the whole thing but I will read this we support the creative community and work closely with the voice acting industry to ensure that we took the right steps to cast chat GPT uh chap gpt's voices each actor

Receives compensation above top of Market rates and this will continue for as long as their voices are used in our products 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 and using her voice her own natural speaking voice to protect the Privacy we cannot share the names of our voice talents right so it I mean whether you think that they intentionally did

It or didn't or whatever I mean it's definitely possible that they picked someone that is similar type sounding voice to Scarlets um potentially and um but yeah these are the kind of the two statements Sam also said that they didn't do that and that he took Sky down just out of respect to Scarlett Johansson and didn't mean to offend her and then also I'm just going to play this gu I saw this guy uh a lot of people are some people

Are saying that they believe believe it basically sounds a lot like her voice some people are saying they don't um I'm going to play an example right here of the two voices you can decide and let me know in the comments down below if you think they sound the same um this guy has his one of his opinions he says he's like a musician and this some of these guys down here say they're a musician or in um the music industry

And some of them saying they don't think it sounds similar some of them saying they do so um let me know what you think as much as the rest of the evidence plus public sentiment makes me think it probably would I listen to it and my conclusion is it does not check it out here's Sky just when we were about to feel the AGI I am not Scarlet Johansson the first thing you notice is it still sounds very robotic like the

Inflections and where emphasis is placed it does not sound like a human but that can all get ironed out and get more natural over time but what about the tamber and the quality now listen to Johansson from the movie Her you have a meeting in 5 minutes you want to try getting out of bed she sounds like a human for sure but also notice the breathy quality of her voice and she also has more lowend you can hear it so let's

Listen again back to back and this time check out how their voice looks when viewed through an EQ if the voices are identical the EQ should look the same for both this is chat gbt and the EQ is the top one just when we were about to feel the AGI I am not Scarlet Johansson now scar Joe and the EQ is the bottom one you have a meeting in 5 minutes you want to try getting out of bed if you can't

Hear it I get it but it is apparent visually I just have this isotope EQ on each voice yeah so we're not go through the whole inep breakdown but some people are saying they do think it sounds similar some people are saying they don't um I can somewhat see both a bit you know like I guess I mean I don't know um it's hard hard to fully say let me know what you guys think though in the comments down below um

Yeah like I said the reason why we're covering this is because this could you know something like this with a big celebrity could potential imp potentially impact some future legislations with around AI or definitely at least um it's definitely affecting the Viewpoint of open or sorry AI um but it's definitely affecting the uh Viewpoint from the public whether it's you know the mass Market or just even you know the AI industry in terms of you know is open AI trustworthy is

Sam mman trustworthy there's a lot of drama going on right now so do you think this affects how you view them let me know in the comments Down Below guys and if you want to stay up to date with daily content running AI systems automation AI news how to leverage AI into your business and your personal life make sure to smash that subscribe button and turn on post notifications let me know what your thoughts are down below guys make sure to
