    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Lawyers for Scarlett Johansson are demanding that OpenAI disclose how it developed an AI personal assistant voice that the actress says sounds uncannily similar to her own.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who has said the 2013 Spike Jonze film is his favorite movie, invited comparisons by posting the word “Her” on X after the company announced the new ChatGPT version.

    “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,” she said.

    During a live-demo last week, it struck a knowing, flirtatious tone with some of OpenAI’s employees, leading some to wonder whether the coquettish demeanor was an intentional ploy to keep people engaged with the AI system.

    “Looking ahead, you can expect even more options as we plan to introduce additional voices in ChatGPT to better match the diverse interests and preferences of users,” the company wrote in the post.

    A day after OpenAI’s announcement, Google held its annual developer conference where it unveiled its own personal AI assistant, also voiced by a female, known as Project Astra.
