Scarlett Johansson says she declined an offer from OpenAI to voice the artificial intelligence research organization’s new ChatGPT 4.0 system, “Sky,” which she feels sounds exactly like her.
The actress told Page Six in a statement Monday that she received the offer in September 2023 from CEO Sam Altman.
“He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and Al. He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people,” she claimed.
“After much consideration and for personal reasons, I declined the offer.”
After OpenAI held a live demonstration of the voice last week, Johansson, 39, said her “friends, family and the general public all noted how much the newest system named ‘Sky’ sounded like” her.
