Scarlett Johansson refused OpenAI job because 'it would be strange' for her kids, 'against my core values'

Scarlett Johansson shared why she rejected voicing OpenAI's chatbot. The actress said she thought it would be "strange" for her children.

Johansson later shared a statement, saying, "When I heard the released demo, 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. "Mr. Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word ‘her,' a reference to the film in which I voiced a chat system, Samantha, who forms an intimate relationship with a human," Johansson added. In her May statement, Johansson wrote that her legal team had sent the tech company two letters asking it to explain how it came up with the personal assistant's voice in its AI technology.
