This page contains data entry 94992 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.
Both ScarJo and OpenAI are saying that ScarJo was reached out to twice by OpenAI to use her voice. That’s not in dispute by either party.
I’ve pasted a link to the Wired article below which summarises it all, but it also contains links to statements from OpenAI and ScarJo which back this up.
https://www.wired.com/story/scarlett-johansson-v-openai-could-look-like-in-court/
“On September 11, 2023, Sam spoke with Ms. Johansson and her team to discuss her potential involvement as a sixth voice actor for ChatGPT, along with the other five voices, including Sky. She politely declined the opportunity one week later through her agent.” - OpenAI
“On May 10, 2024, Sam contacted Ms. Johansson’s team to inform them about our upcoming launch of GPT-4o and asked if she might reconsider joining as a future additional voice in ChatGPT.” - OpenAI
Once OpenAI reached out to ScarJo and she declined, the Midler case becomes directly relevant.
OpenAI claims it wasn’t before they cast the Voice actors, but it was over a year ago, well before the Sky voice was launched, and ScarJo declined and refused permission. At that point OpenAI was legally unable to use either her voice or one that sounded like hers.
On May 13th, ahead of the Sky voice launch, Sam Altman of OpenAI tweeted one word, “her”. It’s still on his timeline.
You can try and claim it’s just a word and has nothing to do with ScarJo, and that the new OpenAI voice Sky sounding eerily similar to that of the AI from the film “Her” is just a coincidence - but that’s only because you’re not having to defend yourself in court against ScarJo’s lawyers, along with all the contextual evidence & counter claims that OpenAI clearly wanted to use ScarJos voice but were refused.
