OpenAI has recently unveiled a new voice mode feature in ChatGPT, in which there are five distinct voice option users can choose from,&nbsp;Breeze, Cove, Ember, Juniper, and Sky.
One of the voice AI bots, "Sky", has been sparking controversy after Hollywood actress, Scarlett Johansson, claimed that it sounds "eerily similar" to hers, which led to OpenAI removing it from the system.&nbsp;
In a statement Johansson said that OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, had offered her last September to lend her voice to the system, however, she declined the offer, she said: "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&rdquo;.&nbsp;

One of Johansson's most memorable roles is in the 2013 movie "Her", directed by&nbsp;Spike Jonze, where voiced an AI operating system, and the 39-year-old actress said that&nbsp;Altman insinuated that Sky voice was inspired by that movie, she said in the statement, "Mr. Altman even insinuated that the similarity was intentional, tweeting a single word, &lsquo;her&rsquo; &mdash; a reference to the film in which I voiced a chat system, Samantha, who forms an intimate relationship with a human".
She added, "Two days before the ChatGPT 4.0 demo was released, Mr. Altman contacted my agent, asking me to reconsider. Before we could connect, the system was out there. As a result of their actions, I was forced to hire legal counsel, who wrote two letters to Mr. Altman and OpenAI, setting out what they had done and asking them to detail the exact process by which they created the &lsquo;Sky&rsquo; voice. Consequently, OpenAI reluctantly agreed to take down the &lsquo;Sky&rsquo; voice".&nbsp;
