The Spin

Narrative A

At a time when actors, entertainers, and content creators are worried about AI using their likeness without permission, it was wrong for OpenAI to utilize a voice that so closely resembles Johansson's. She's right to be upset and angered by this decision.

Guardian

Narrative B

The Sky voice option in GPT-4o wasn't based on Johansson. It was the voice of an actor selected after a vigorous five-month process. The company values the voice acting industry, which is why ChatGPT's AI voices will never deliberately mimic a celebrity's distinctive voice.
