Sam Altman Is Showing Us Who He Really Is

Yet this month, it antagonized someone much more powerful, and is already retreating just a touch. On Monday evening, Scarlett Johansson issued a statement to NPR's Bobby Allyn about OpenAI's GPT-4o announcement, which the company showcased in a live demonstration just last week. Specifically, the multimodal computer interaction model centered around a voice assistant named Sky, whose timbre really, really resembled ScarJo's. "Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system," Johansson wrote. "After much consideration and for personal reasons, I declined the offer. Nine months later, my friends, family and the general public all noted how much the newest system named'Sky' sounded like me. When I heard the released demo, I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference."
