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.
For anyone interested, here’s a comparison. They really don’t sound the same at all.

Here’s a longer video I came across. Sky sounds pretty different to me, but we’ll see what the courts think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdrgFCldvrA
It sounds pretty similar. Like it was inspired by.
There’s a popular tiktok account where the guy is constantly trying to get the ChatGPT voice to admit she’s Scarlett Johansson and that was waaaaay before this lawsuit.
