Transcripts
so it seems that open AI are in some
pretty big trouble after some recent
news was stated by a celebrity if you
haven't heard already the GPT 40 release
has led to some key details being
unveiled that don't put opening eye in
the best light at all so recently as you
all know there was the GPT for a release
and in that release there were several
examples of openi voice multimodal
system being able to do a wide range of
complex tasks and one of the key things
that was setting opening eyes GPT for o
apart was the fact that this model was
able to speak in a way which is just
remarkably human now because of this
it's LED people to believe that this
voice that they've chosen sounds similar
to someone and I think it's been
something that has been on the minds of
people ever since they've heard the
voice so what you're about to hear is
the opening eye demo in which the voice
model sky is speaking and then I'm going
to play to you another AI system from a
movie and you can see if there are any
similarities hey how's it going hey
there it's going great how about you so
that's opening eyes and this is a short
clip from the movie
Her hello I'm here hi hi I'm Samantha
now due to the similarities of this many
people thought that this was actually
Scarlett Johansson because if you don't
know the movie Her This is is a movie
that is essentially pretty much gp40 and
coincidentally the actor behind the
movie Her is Scarlett Johanson and she
sounds remarkably similar to gp40 which
had some people speculating that it was
actually Scarlett Johansson's voice
however open AI yesterday came out and
said this and it says how the voices for
chat GPT were chosen we worked with
industry-leading casting and directing
professionals to narrow down over 400
submissions before selecting the five
voices and then you you can see here
that openi also stated this they stated
that we believe that AI voices should
not deliberately mimic a celebrity's
distinctive voice Sky's voice is not an
imitation of Scarlett Johansson but
belongs to a different professional
actress using her own natural speaking
voice to protect their privacy we cannot
share the names of our voice talents now
at this moment when this was released
yesterday A lot of people were just
thinking that this is just a reach
because there hadn't been any certain
statements but that was until Scarlett
Johansson actually came out and made a
statement regarding open Ai and Sam
Alman that actually did Shock Me and
pretty much the entire AI Community
because there was a lot that wasn't
actually being said so Scarlet Johansson
actually released this statement she
said that last September she relieved an
offer from Sam mman who wanted to hire
me to voice the current chat gbt 4.0
system he told me that he felt that by
my voicing the system I could bridge the
gap between tech companies and creatives
and help consumers to feel comfortable
with with the seismic shift concerning
humans and AI he said he felt that my
voice would be comforting to people
remember this was last September she
says after much consideration and for
personal reasons I declined the offer 9
months later my friends family and the
general public noted how much the newest
named system called Sky sounded like me
and this is where it starts to get
pretty bad for opening eye in terms of
PR when I heard the released demo I was
shocked angered and in disbelief that Mr
outman would pursue a voice that sounded
so eily similar to mine that my closest
friends and news outlets could not tell
the difference Mr Alman even insinuated
that the similarity was intentional
tweeting a single word her in reference
to the film in which I voiced a chat
system Samantha Who forms an intimate
relationship with a human and that is
this clip here where you see this AI
system talking to this dude who is
dealing with a pretty bad breakup and
manages to fall in love with the system
and that's why a lot of people were
stating that this is very similar to
what open ey just released and it
doesn't help the fact that Sam Alman
also tweeted this around the time of the
GPT Pho release because this definitely
insinuates that GPT 40's new system is
heavily influenced by the movie which is
just pretty crazy you can see here 2
days before the chat GPT 4.0 demo was
released Mr Alman contacted my agent
asking me to reconsider consider before
we could connect the system was out
there as a result of their actions I was
forced to hire legal council who wrote
two letters to Mr Altman and opening ey
setting out what they had done and
asking them to detail the exact process
by which they created the sky voice
consequently open I reluctantly agreed
to take down the sky voice and she
finishes it by stating here that in a
time when we are all grappling with deep
fakes and the protection of our own
likeness our own work our own identities
I believe that these questions that
deserve are questions that deserve
absolute Clarity I look forward to
resolution in the form of transparency
and the passage of appropriate
legislation to help ensure that
individual rights are protected so now
you can see that a bunch of different
news outlets are also covering this
story because it's pretty shocking that
open AI would seemingly release a
statement where they clearly state that
look you know we did make a voice but
it's actually not not an imitation of
Scarlet Johansson but belongs to a
different professional actress using her
own natural speaking voice and then I
think the thing that actually did shock
everyone was the fact that Scarlett
Johansson actually came out and detailed
the fact that you know there were
several details between them and open AI
where openi were just continually
requesting for her voice to be used and
then of course she declined and then I
definitely think that that is far too
much coincidence that opening ey
coincidentally Rel releases a product
that sounds eily similar to her and
whilst yes the sky voice has been around
for quite some time it definitely does
sound like skylet Johansson if we're
being completely honest and this is
something that many people have noticed
now I think you need to truly understand
just how big of a story this is because
this is currently trending in many
different countries and you can see that
this tweet has over 4.9 million views of
people stating that this is clearly not
a good look for open AI now the reason I
state that this is not good for open AI
is because over the past couple of days
there have been a few things that open
AI have I guess you could say lost trust
with the general community and right now
they're losing public with the broader
Community because what it seems like on
the surface level is that open ey wanted
to use her voice and then it seems that
she said no and it seems that she just
did it anyway regardless of whatever the
truth is new stories are running with
this and this is making headlines and
this is bad for everyone involved
because if OPI are in a situation where
they have terrible PR we already know
that with previous systems there were
already several issues related to those
releases because of how they were
released and you can see here that
people are now stating that Sam Alman
cannot be trusted no wonder he was fired
from open ey last November and the story
going around the internet right now is
just really really bad people are saying
that he's a sociopath people are saying
that you know he cloned her voice
without consent and this is just
something that really looks absolutely
terrible in opening eyes and you can see
here there are a lot more comments and
this isn't just Cherry Peck this has
been all over my feed of open ey and Sam
outman getting hate you can see this
event reveals all we need to know about
open ey's ethics some people are stating
that samman is a villain this is creepy
behavior and I mean this is just not
good because you have a pretty
game-changing technology I mean gp40 is
very very insane but if the people who
are in control of this technology and
who are behind it and who are
Distributing it don't do so even with
the basic products in a safe way and if
they don't manage to you know have at
least some kind of Ethics that they
showcase it's going to lead to a lot of
people putting so much distrust in
opening eye that could lead to a huge
number of different situations that we
may have never seen before there's
always been some social tension with
regards to open a eyes new product
releases but this is something that
takes it to a completely new level
because celebrities like Scarlett
Johansson are loved by millions and
millions of people and if she's just
saying that look I didn't want my voice
cloned and they cloned It Anyway this is
not going to be good in the age where
artificial intelligence is being in some
instances pedal as this thing that is
going to completely remove your meaning
and your career so I think right now
opening ey does need to do some damage
control but I'm not sure how they get
out of this situation really when they
did a tweet that says her that is a
reference to the movie in which Scarlet
de Hansen also played at the demo of the
40 release now this is the last update
before I end the video but apparently
Sam Alman has issued a statement stating
that sky is not skylet Johansson and it
was never intended to resemble hers we
cast a voice actor behind Sky's voice
before any Outreach to miss Johansson
out of respect for Miss Johansson we
have paused using Sky's voice in our
product we are sorry to miss Johansson
that we didn't communicate better and
this is one of the tweets that I agree
with so much is that if this goes full
on news this type of decision can
thoroughly reshape air regulation
celebrities do have a lot of influence
over the general population whether or
not you like to believe that and with
stuff like this that puts AI in a
negative like I think that this could
definitely shape how future rules and
regulations are done in the future
because if we get to a point where voice
cloning does become a real issue there's
definitely going to become some kind of
legislation where you're going to need
some kind of permission the websites and
systems that you use to do the voice
cloning are going to also going to have
to have some kind of Regulation because
you're probably going to need forms and
forms of permission unlike now where you
can literally just take someone's voice
and clone it immediately on a website
like 11lbs so I you think that in the
next couple of years the law is going to
have to be updated rapidly to adapt with
all of these quick changes that are
happening in this fast moving field
