OpenAI announced a delay in the launch of a new voice for ChatGPT called Sky due to security concerns. The voice sounded similar to Scarlett Johansson’s AI assistant in the movie “Her” and was controversial for its flirty nature. OpenAI plans to train the voice to refuse certain requests that go against company policy. The release date is uncertain, but testing with a small group is expected to start in July.
The safety concern revolves around potential misuse of the voice, as users could ask controversial questions or trick the AI into saying offensive things. OpenAI is also not ready to handle a large number of users and queries. The delay in the release has disappointed fans who were eagerly waiting for the new voice.
There is speculation that the delay could be an excuse to keep Sky off the market, as Scarlett Johansson had declined permission for her voice to be used in an AI assistant. OpenAI faced backlash for the resemblance between Sky and Scarlett, leading to the voice being removed from ChatGPT. Users are expressing frustration over the delay, especially as a rival company has released an update to its chatbot.
Overall, OpenAI’s handling of the situation has raised concerns about transparency and meeting user expectations in a competitive industry.
