OpenAI has clarified the casting process for its ChatGPT voices, particularly the voice named Sky, following public speculation. The company stated that the voice actor for Sky was selected before any outreach was made to Scarlett Johansson, and that the voice was not intended to imitate her. OpenAI has paused the use of the Sky voice out of respect for Ms. Johansson and apologized for communication issues. The company detailed a five-month casting process involving professional actors, talent agencies, and casting directors, which resulted in five distinct voices selected from over 400 submissions. AI
