Wake up honey, new Zitron just dropped.
Looks like Sammy boy has a crush on Scarlett Johansson and wanted to model his sexy chatbot after her role in the movie Her. The damage control is actually hilarious.
Altman subsequently claimed that the actress for Sky was cast before the company reached out to Johansson.
“Yeah, I don’t want to go out with you anyway. Also, I already have a girlfriend but she goes to a different school, so you wouldn’t know her. And no, I won’t tell you who it is!”
I mean, we all knew that OpenAI is a fucking clown show of a company run by wannabe nerd frat boys with way too much money, but I didn’t think we’d get high school level relationship drama this season.
This is just insanity, the voice named Sky didn’t sound like Scarlet Johannson, even going as far as to remove it due to backlash is nuts. I adore Scarlet Johannson’s voice, and not once in the demo videos of ChatGPT-4o did I think it sounds like Scarlet, not a single time.
It sucks that all this backlash is against arguably the best voice they have at their disposal. Now we’ll all be stuck with Juniper, which is just… ok.
…lol
lolololololololol
“the best voice they have at their disposal”
the hyper-grainy artefact-present voice that is ACTUALLY FUCKING WORSE than a number of current offerings. “the best”.
jesus h tapdancing fucking christ do you fucking read your own words before you send them?
but remember folks, any day now chatgpt is going to be our god
“due to backlash” are you literate? go read the second paragraph of the article and tell me what it says
Your history shows no reasonable prospect of posting any better. This way to the egress, sir.
