Back in September, Scarlett Johansson, who played the hauntingly complex AI assistant in the 2013 Spike Jonze film “Her,” got a request from OpenAI’s CEO, Sam Altman.
He wanted to hire Johansson to voice his company’s newest ChatGPT model, “Sky.” She said no.
Johansson quickly lawyered up, saying Monday she was “shocked, angered and in disbelief” that Altman would use a voice “so eerily similar” to her own.
OpenAI was forced to confront some of those concerns late last week, after two prominent employees left the company.
“Being friends with AI will be so much easier than forging bonds with human beings,” wrote Wired editor Brian Barrett in a recent essay about the movie.
