A ChatGPT voice known as Sky has made headlines for sounding like Johansson, The Verge reports.
Her husband, Colin Jost, even joked about the topic recently on 'Saturday Night Live.'.
ChatGPT has released a new
voice assistant feature inspired by
Scarlett Johansson’s AI character
in ‘Her,’ which I never bothered to
watch because without that body,
what’s the point of listening?, Colin Jost, via 'SNL'.
But on May 19, OpenAI announced
that it will be removing the voice.
The company also said that it did not intentionally mean for the voice to resemble Johansson.
We believe that AI voices should
not deliberately mimic a
celebrity’s distinctive voice— , OpenAI, via statement.
Sky’s voice is not an imitation of
Scarlett Johansson but belongs to
a different professional actress using
her own natural speaking voice, OpenAI, via statement.
To protect their privacy,
we cannot share the names
of our voice talents, OpenAI, via statement.
The current ChatGPT voice profiles,
Breeze, Cove, Ember, Juniper and Sky.
were created after receiving over 400 voice and screen actor submissions, OpenAI said.
New voice assistant features for ChatGPT will reportedly launch "in the coming weeks."

Tips For Integrating , AI Tools , Into Your Business.
'Newsweek' reports that the key to integrating
AI-powered tools into your business is to ensure a
solid IT infrastructure has been established to support it. .
Without that foundation, AI tools could be greatly limited or undermined all together in their ability to provide a return on investment. .
According to data provided by Forrester, 62% of
global business and tech professionals expect AI investments to significantly increase over the next year.
This means that business leaders must
gain a realistic understanding of how specific
AI applications could help their company.
By deploying applications that help
enhance productivity and personalize
processes, organizations can use
Generative AI to accelerate the pace
of their business, evolving an
experimental investment into
an established value driver, Deloitte AI Institute, via 'Newsweek'.
A clear plan should include a way to measure the impact
of AI within specific areas of your business before
scaling its use widely across the company.
IT infrastructure should include a well
thought out strategy for cloud computing
and access to a reliable high-speed network. .
Ensure accurate, up-to-date and complete data for more
reliable AI outputs, which means regularly cleaning,
normalizing and structuring data to improve AI training.
The addition of AI tools also means investing in a
sophisticated cybersecurity strategy like Secure Access
Service Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE).
Developing the necessary in-house know-how to fully
utilize AI tools means investing in training or in a third-
party IT-managed service provider (MSP) for AI support
