Earlier this week Scarlett Johansson and Sam Altman became the main characters of the internet after Scarlett released a statement claiming OpenAI stole her voice to use on GPT-4. Hours earlier, the voice option ‘Sky’ had been pulled from ChatGPT. Look, maybe I just lack a refined ear, but I’ve been talking to Sky regularly since last year and I don’t think she sounds like Scarlett Johansson. I just don’t hear it. I like Scarlett Johanson; I love the movie Her. I’ve seen it multiple times — I just watched it last week — but the people saying that’s Scarlett’s...

Scarlett Johansson has released a statement following OpenAI’s removal of a controversial voice option that sounds eerily similar to the Hollywood star. ChatGPT released its voice chat feature in September 2023. Since then, users have had the option to pick from five voices: Ember, Cove, Juniper, Breeze, and Sky. The latter has drawn comparisons to the AI voice assistant in the 2013 Spike Jonze film Her, voiced by Johansson. On Monday (May 20) users began noticing the Sky voice option was no longer available on the ChatGPT app. People flooded social media with speculation it was due to the recent...

Coca-Cola Y3000 Zero Sugar is the new flavour being sprayed across the world by The Coca-Cola Company in the marketing exercise that nobody asked for. Here we go with the big brands creating “limited edition” things again to make their consumers panic about scarcity and jump over their grandmother to buy whatever it is. The latest big corporation to do this very thing is Coca-Cola. Riding the AI trend, the fizzy drinks manufacturer has announced on its website that it’s used AI to invent a new flavour of Coke. What is Coke Y3000? The new AI-generated Coca-Cola Y3000 Zero Sugar...

Is Sam Altman a film bro who understands movies on a level beyond general human intelligence, or does he just… not get the point? Following the OpenAI CEO’s recent spat with Scarlett Johansson, technology enthusiasts are slamming Altman for completely ignoring the cautionary message in a number of Hollywood films about tech. With the ScarJo case, it’s Spike Jonze’s 2014 film Her.  Altman (unsuccessfully) asking the Hollywood A-lister to voice OpenAI’s latest AI voice assistant — in order to bring the dystopian film Her to life — might look like an aspirational move, but Sam, sir, that film was supposed...
