ScarJo is upset with OpenAI!!!

Key Takeaways

open AI has officially pissed off Scarlet Johansson and they are officially also taking down the voice called sky this is continuously unfolding so I'm going to cover what information I have got opena has taken down or at least it has announced that it has taken down this particular voice that you can hear so this is hey hello I'm really excited about teaming up with you and I'm all set to dive in so how can I make your life easier so this is a voice called Sky quite popular a lot of people like it it is part of open ai's voice assistant or the latest one and open AI has announced that it is taking down this particular voice and the reason behind that is because Scarlet Johansson is shocked and angered over the new chat GPT voice it's not just because everybody said this is the movie Her it's not just that I'll give you the reason so this article and the statement from Scarlet Johansson goes back even further so it says long before this particular feature was launched Sam Altman reached out to Scarlet Johansson and asked Scarlet Johansson to give the Lend her voice to create charb Voice open AI or Sam Alman in fact claimed that this will make people more comfortable with AI instead of getting scared you hear a beautiful voice and you might start liking it that is the fact so some reason personal reason Scarlet Johansson didn't not accept it and just a few days before GPT 4 launch Sam Alman reached out to Scarlet Johansson again I don't know if it is like personally Sam Alman taking Twitter and then dming or it is like the team effort I'm not I don't have any of the information this is the story from Scarlet Johansson side we'll see the Sam Alman side of story shortly so now couple of days before Sam Alman has reached out to Scarlet Johansson again but Scarlet joh and before she could respond back to Sam ultman open AI has officially announced gp4 with the voice that everybody started claiming that it is the her the problem is not just everybody claiming that this is the her it is Sam Alman himself claiming that it is the her and even Andre carpati joked I guess that you know it's not about math it's about Scarlet Johnson I guess this is just a joke like I don't think Andre kPa has any Insider information and he already left open a so I don't think it's just that people thought that this voice sounds like scarlet johon and that is one of the reason and Scarlet Johansson actually this is the statement I was shocked angered and in disbelief that Mr Altman would pursue a voice that sounded eily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference she also found out alarming she said that at the moment when the internet is a was in De information in a time when we are all grappling deep fakes and protection of our own likeness our own work our own identities I believe these are questions that deserve absolute Clarity Johansson said this is Scarlet Johansson's side of the story it's not just Scarlet Johnson who felt that this voice sounds like herself uh it was quite popular on the internet where everybody felt that it is probably Scarlet Johnson now in hindsight when I listen to Sky do I feel it like Scarlet Johnson I don't feel it like Scarlet Johnson but when opening a demot it it had a very similar tone of scarlet Johnson also it makes you wonder why couple of days before chat GPT voice launch or at least the latest GPT 40 model which is like true multimodel model which is without doing a TTS you directly connect it in a unified pipeline unified model why would couple of days back opening a reach out to Sam Alman if it is not Scarlet Johnson okay so now let's see the open AI side of the story where open has put together a document that says how the voices of chat GPT were chosen so they had like more than 400 submissions out of which they chose five voices so those are like the five Voice that we just saw so if you go to your chat GPT application whether it is on the desktop whether it is on wherever that you have got you would see these five voices you have got hey I'm ready to hit the hey it's great to meet you hello I'm really excited about teaming up hi there I just hello I'm really excited about teaming up with you and I'm all set to dive in is it how can I make your life easier I I I don't know hi there hey there I've got a really great feeling about us teaming up hey I'm ready to hit the ground run yeah so they ultimately chose this five voices and they have outright denied that they are not using Scarlet Johnson so if you go here so there is one section where they outright say Sky's voice is not an imitation of scarlet Johnson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice the reason that they have said this is it's not even a mimickry it's not somebody trying to imitate that actress it is just their own natural speaking voice and to protect their privacy we cannot share the information of the voice talents and there are like lot more information in this what kind of characteristics are there how did they select a particular actress voice actress or actor so a voice that feels Timeless it's warm engaging confidence inspiring charismatic voice with a rich tone natural and easy to listen so they go into a lot of information about how they choose it but the main point here is that uh they are taking down sky so if you see they're taking down Sky now one might argue that um um you know if if if it is not an issue why are you taking down maybe they don't want like bad peer maybe they don't want conflict while they want to make friends so that could be one of the reason why they have taken it down but otherwise also I think it it poses really interesting questions is it possible for somebody else on this planet Earth to have Scarlet Johansson like voice probably it's possible the movie industry the entire movie industry is based on body doubles so you have an actor you have an actress they don't do their stunts most of the time and not everybody is Tom Cruz so they always have a stunt even Tom Cruz would have a stunt double I'm not saying that but he's I've heard at least he's known for making his own stunts so the entire movie industry is based on stunt double do they get the same salary the same money as the primary movie actor no they don't they they get a smaller amount but it's just the likeness that's been used which which is what Scarlet Johnson is highlighting here that uh we are worried about the likeness like our personal identity and all these things while the movie industry had its own fair share of I would say taking humans that look alike the actor or actress and using them for a lesser compensation I think opena has probably done the same thing maybe they liked the movie Her Voice they wanted Scarlet Johansson for a higher paycheck but Scarlet Johansson being Scarlet Johansson who has got a lot of money or other personal reasons did not want to do it which I kind of respect so they it is possible you know as a human being you'll see something and then you like it I don't know how many of you know a blue car syndrome so this is a popular psychological term so it is completely possible when they shortlisted they had a voice similar to Scarlet Johansson and they said okay let's do sky and uh they started flaunting that this is her now in this entire scheme of things one thing that does not add up is why would open AI contact Scarlet Johnson couple of days before the new latest launch CU that is suspicious um only if they wanted to call this like a Scarlet Johnson partnership then they know that this is e really similar to Scarlet Johnson and then they're trying to convey it but I don't know where the line is at this point honestly speaking especially now given that this is an Hollywood actress who has probably used a stunt double of the likeness while you know not getting the same pay now this is another person um you know uh with a different intent uh like an AI trying to use their voice I think this is this goes back to the same question like a lot of celebrities have started asking like how do I protect my own IP see for them they are the IP and it happened with authors we have seen like open a taking author's book so I I think it goes back fundamentally to basic philosophical question like do you copyright a work do you not copyright a work and a lot of questions are there honestly at this point I don't have all the answers and um I don't know what will happen if somebody makes a clone of me and then you know put run create another YouTube channel I don't have any answer to this but I think this is a future that we are heading into and it is a conversation worth having and that is one reason that I wanted to make this video also as a matter of fact open a is completely messed up with this thing so they did not expect this to go this way probably a lawsuit is coming their way um except that lawyers would have by this time figured out that it is not Scarlet Johnson so they might be working with the highest paid lawyers in the US to sue open a so let's see what is going to happen let me know your thoughts in the comment section see you in another video Happy promp Day
