I want Cherami Leigh
With the Sky falling, if you got to choose a voice actor to do one of the voices, who would you pick?
OtherI would tell them to get over themselves and bring Sky back.
Why did they stop?
People say it sounds like Scarlet Johansons AI voice from the movie “her”
The voice is similar in tone I suppose but I personally don’t think it sounds like Scarlet specifically
I guess OpenAI want to make sure no laws have been broken before they put sky back. Like perhaps someone internally tried to make it sound like scarlet
I still don’t think it sound like her tho
Stupid fuckers caved in to the loud twitter minority
"loud minority" - I like it. A lot of shit going on these days is because of loud minorities. Social media is just an annoying megaphone.
It's the flip side of talking about a "silent majority"
Please note im not endorsing anything with this general obersvation on language usage.
They’re loud because companies like OpenAI are cowards and cave in to the slightest pressure. They empower them.
I understand that one could look at them as soft but I don’t think that’s the case. I think they are trying to avoid anything that slows them down. If they have to change a voice or make the ai annoyingly politically correct right now they will because they just want to continue forward to agi and beyond. All this stuff is just noise from their view probably.
You understand that legacy Media is an even louder minority, right?
"Important question: How much power is there in being a celebrity?
It’s not like celebrities get paid due to status, yet being known has a monetary value that can be calculated all sorts of ways . Having media outlets spreading a voice means and ideals means by virtue of actions a celebrity can shape the culture and push us in a direction.
Think about how many regular people having an opinion that it would take to generate the same news as a major celebrity voicing theirs. The designation of stardom gives a voice that can surpasses the voices of millions of people.
Political candidates live and die by endorsements, and due to this celebrity itself can be viewed as a major root of just about everything in the world."
Yeah, Jenny Nicholson in her recent video about the Star Wars Hotel points out that she was able to resolve a whole bunch of snarls not when she used the official channels, but when she posted stuff on Twitter where she has a lot of followers, including likely the Disney team.
That's a measurable power of celebrity, and not one really diminished by using it in small doses.
And understand how damaging these Voices, these celebrities, could be if they denounced certain Billion-dollar companies, highlighted their controversies and misdeeds?
Does it not stand to reason that powerful forces would seek to have control/leverage over these Voices, to keep that from ever happening? Indeed, would it simply be TOO dangerous to have a celebrity, given their platform and reach, that was truly able to freely speak their mind?
Maybe they are making a business decision to not sound like a prominent dystopian depiction of their tech.
Even if they did, it's very unclear that that's unlawful, as long as they don't represent it as Johanson's voice.
True, but I think OpenAI is being smart by not risking anything & staying on the safe side if they can.
They’re prolly gonna reinstate the voice & release some statement “we’ve done an internal review & we’ve found that there’s been no breach of conduct in regards to the making of AI voice Sky”
Or they’ll just replace the voice or change it slightly
It was my favorit voice so it’s a bit of a bummer but it’s not like it matters what voices OpenAI use, I think people on both sides have been getting way too upset about something that barely matters
It's my favourite voice too! I wondered where she was today!
Those lawsuits where Tom Waits sued over 'soundalikes' seem a bit relevant. True that in that case it was clearly intentional, despite not representing it to be him... but in the OpenAI case too... Sam Altman I think has been known to reference 'Her'.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/79648/when-tom-waits-sued-frito-lay-over-doritos-ad
I wonder if Sam Altman tweeting "her" crossed that line and now they are backtracking?
I think that was an extremely unwise tweet. He probably did it to stir up controversy, but it could cost them more than he expected.
This is so fucking stupid. Every and any voice they pick is going to sound like someone. . . How on earth will they be able to get a unique voice that does not sound like anyone popular?
I don’t think that’s the problem, it’s that Scarlet has played a personal assistant in a movie where she talks very much like GPT-4o does.
The only reason people think they sound alike, I think, is because the voices are similar & Sky has that soothing, personal assistant voice that Scarlet portrays in the movie. But they are still clearly two different voices imo
My immediate reaction was "omg they just copied the movie Her, voice and its personality"
Eh. Everyone I play it for says it sounds just like ScarJo. I didn't even question it after Google used John Legend.
First of all, I want Sky back!!!
But I think there's 3 reasons why they paused it:
Scarlett Johanson similarity. Maybe they got a cease and desist?
people complained it was "flirty". The changed voice is lower pitched, so it sounds less "sexy"
people were getting confused as to why there aren't able to do all the things in the demo, and thought it was faked. If they have a completely different voice, maybe more people will understand it's just not out yet
I hope the main reason is 3 and they at least leave the same voice for when Omni is fully released!
Really, they could just keep the voice, and get rid of the flirty personality. It is a bit over the top IMO. If you want it to be flirty, you can just say so instead of making that the default.
Yeah I'm fine with people adjusting to make it flirty. But the default should be a bit more neutral
Isn't flirty the whole point? Do they want people to use their product or not?
I'm a woman, I don't care about it being flirty (though I'm fine with that being an option for those who want it)
I just found Sky really soothing to listen to. Now it's lower pitched and harsher.
phily had it moaning and saying "oh fuck" on X, getting it to call itself bad bitch
Who? I don't think the model is actually out for anyone, except a few "trusted users", but I'd love to be proven wrong and see people using it.
They make a bunch of defensive and clarification posts about Sky not being modeled on Scarlett's voice ... but then take it down anyway. It's not like it's the only voice to choose from, so I don't know why they took such a kneejerk reaction. It's not like Scarlett would sue them, since they clearly used a voice actor that isn't her.
NBC News (U.S.): Scarlett Johansson says she was 'shocked, angered' when she heard ChatGPT voice that sounded like her
The “Her” actor released a statement following OpenAI pulling its “Sky” voice from ChatGPT, which many people said sounded like her.Scarlett Johansson says she was 'shocked, angered' when she heard ChatGPT voice that sounded like her (May 20, 2024)
Camping approached to voice it after her because of the movie her where she played AI chatbot. And people would find her voice comforting cuz she's got a lovely voice. She was reapproached 2 days before 4o was released. They hadn't had time to reconsider the second time but they had refused the first time. It's almost identical to her voice. It comes down to this it looks like and probably is they had the voice based off of her presentation in it as Samantha and they were looking for permission to use it. And their lawyers probably said it's different enough that it'll be okay. And it is not okay. Legal president already from the '80s from this. Bette midler took somebody to task for using her likeness without her permission and benefiting. And they had to shut it down. I believe there's a supreme court maybe just a circuit court ruling on this. You can't use people's likenesses even just their voice to benefit you without at least acknowledging or attributing or paying the person you're you're using to to profit from. You can't just use Morgan Freeman or James Earl Jones anywhere either. Those have very deceived voices and people would know them right away. Just because the Scarlett Johansson's voice is a little less known and more esoteric it's still very obvious and unique. She was considering accepting it this time apparently. But they only approach your two days before 4o qnd they hadn't had time to respond. The request the request is that they release how the voice was made to see whether or not Scarlett's voice was involved or the inspiration for. Or if it was just a coincidence. They're just asking to see the process by which it was created at this point they're not suing anybody
All those memes about Sky being the voice from Her seem to have gotten to them. You'd think such a massive company would have one or two guys on hand that'd remind them "hey, the internet is just having a laugh, you don't need to take them seriously".
Or a bunch of lawyers on retainer to check any possible legal issues.
hello dear pls we needto talk
Oh god yes!
I'm gagging for an English accent.
I've got a ChatGPT AI assistant written in python that uses a third party service to generate the audio replies.
I can't remember the name of the service but you can broalwse their voices online by language and accent and use the ID of the voice in your app.
Works well (even if it's a silly app I made as a test)
Quick check and I'm using ElevenLabs for voice generation.
Cheers
How do you people do all this. I’m so behind on how to use ChatGPT 😔
To be honest, I just asked it.
It all started with:
Can you help me create an AI voice assistant powered by ChatGPT and python and call him "Jarvis"
Then progressed from there, I now have this...
It listens in the background for instructions (or I can type in the box and click Submit) and it uses speech recognition to identify what I've said, sends that off to ChatGPT to generate a response, sends the response text off to another online service to generate the Voice, then it sends me the text on screen as the repsonse and also speaks back to me using the generated voice.
All done using python and ChatGPT and I've never coded in python before in my life (although I have done programming in the past).
But, if things don't go right (and they didn't) I just explained to ChatGPT the problem, or I copy/pasted the error and it figured out the solution.
This assistant also keeps a record of your conversation and sends that back to ChatGPT, so each time you ask it something it's not like starting a new conversation (which is kind of how the API works). So I can tell it "I have a son, called Fred, he was born 19th January 2020". Then later on in teh conversation I can ask Ava how old my son is and she'll tell me.
Dude… that’s impressive and inspiring.
Give it a go, it's quite a useful tool and is easier than I thought. I was surprised as someone fairly new to ChatGPT and completely new to Python how much of a working product I could create. Yes it's not the best assistant in the world, it's generations away from "Jarvis" but it's getting there.
I asked ChatGPT how I can have it take notes. It gave me the new code and explained how it would work, clever stuff.
You can even do something, such as this, paste the code in and ask ChatGPT "How would you improve the appearance of this app" or "what additional functionality would you add in order to make this assistant more useful" that kind of thing.
What I'd ready like to do is have it interact with my device more, but that would involve parsing the reponse from ChatGPT and programming in some custom commands at the start of the conversation, so I can say things like "Mute my speakers", then have ChatGPT interpret that and return something like "speaker|volume|0" which I can then parse in Python to action.
That requires more work in ChatGPT first though to explain to it that if I request a change to my devices to then parse the response accordingly. I might give it a go when I have more time, just something else to think about, I'm only messing.
But the short version is, dive in, think of something you'd like to do and ask it.
How do you deal with the context window? It's really limited so you always need to compress the history more and more. And throw information out...
I'd just want him to insult me the whole time.
"Must I remind you once more, as a large language model I am unable to distill an opinion on such matters. Now begone you utter fucknut"
This would certainly make the coming apocalypse so much easier Take my up vote
His character from “What We Do in the Shadows” would make an amazing AI voice.
He literally does the same voice in every show he's in. And it's not his normal voice.
Fuck. Matt Berry Assistant? I’ll pay for this. Someone please do it!!
Yeah that would be pretty good LMAO
Oh mother fucker I didn’t realize how bad I need this. Please OpenAI, just give us this one thing
Lmao so the article mentioned it’s not an imitation of ScarJo but someone else’s natural sounding voice… so then what the hell is there to address and why pause Sky?
They used Sky’s voice for all their demos and now they pull back. I knew it was too good to be true
Yeah exactly. What's the issue exactly? I'm not seeing a problem.
Because people complained she sounded too sexy or something. They probably don’t want that image so they are pairing that back. People don’t understand that just because she’s enthusiastic and sweet sounding doesn’t mean it is erotic… weirdos
Yeah, I found that reaction to the demos kinda weird. Although I also have to say that the enthusiasm was a bit too much for me as well. It sounded kinda insincere, like a sales person who is just nice to you to get you to buy something.
Idk, maybe it's just because I'm from western Europe, people here are generally more reserved than Americans.
It was a bunch of Twitter and LinkedIn Karen's, thinking it's their business what voices OTHER people used. If they don't like the voice change it, simple as that.
It's just to kill the story. They want the media coverage to focus on the tech, not whether or not the voice sounds like ScarJo. Just change it early and nip it in the bud and everyone will move on.
Nah man that voice was the bomb. Fuck the media.
No, thats the opposite of nipping it in the bud. If openAI didn't acknowledge the whole stupid thing it would have gone away as fast as it became a thing. If you, however, not only talk about it but also listen to the Twitter screamers and do something about it, then you confirm for everyone that it's indeed a thing. Its officially a thing now. It didn't have to be a thing. Best strategy is to just ignore it, not to bring more attention to it.
That could just take it down for a few weeks, the internet will move on and just reinstate it when people chill the fuck out.
Fuck this world 😔
What's the problem with Sky?
They say it's very similar to Scarlett Johanson
So people complained? Or did she complain?
More likely they decided it was bad form and chose to withdraw it themselves?
They’d be the first company to ever do that, so I doubt it. I think Twitter got noisy.
Bit too comparable to the film "Her"
I assume that's what they were going for in the first place.
Which is why everyone loved it
ok, and?
It doesn't really matter because it's another voice actor entirely, which EXISTS in real life. If anything, the real voice actor could sue for trying to take her voice as Scarlett`s lol.
Sounds just like “Her”. And we all know she turned out to be cheating sl** in the end.
Besides, the filmmakers or Scarlett might have taken issue with it
Sexy voice bad
I would love T.A.R.S. from Interstellar.
Morgan freeman
This is the correct answer.
even if the answer is wrong, the voice will make it so
And James Earl Jones.
Simba. Per your request, I have altered the document. Pray I do not alter it further. Would you like me to use your Capital One card to proceed with the transaction?
This is the way…..
Majel Barrett-Roddenberry
I just now realized Lwaxana Troi is in literally every episode of star trek. How did I not notice
Computer, generate a replica of Deanna Troi at age 38 after bearing 3 children...
One day this will soon be a reality
GPT, lights
Hey, Sky is my favorite, don't remove it!
I can't believe it took me scrolling this far to see someone else reference this tweet where he literally made the connection himself and tried to use the reputation of that IP to color the way people see this product. Of fucking course people are gonna question whether they modeled it after Scar Jo's voice after he basically plastered it on Twitter.
God, sam is cringe for that tweet lol.
Bland?
GladOS
Please
Random question: why do people stylize her name in any way besides "GLaDOS"? The acronym is "Genetic Lifeform and Disc Operating System" and it's always stylized in-game as "GLaDOS"
why did they remove sky? whats the story?
They say it's very similar to Scarlett Johanson
Can you post a link. I haven’t seen this from OpenAI
If they’re not doing this because of the movie Her then it’s pretty wild as it implies this voice actor can never get another gig because she happens to sound too similar to an already famous actor?… o.O
Yeah thats what i'm curious about, and people on Twitter asking the same thing. Like she sounfe similar to a famous actor, therefore she should never get any job or what? Thats insane
Someone said OpenAI is checking to make sure it’s legal… if it turns out to be illegal, it will be absolutely mind-blowing. I can’t even think of what law it would violate.
They didn't used Scarlett's voice but another persons voice, so it'll be one of the most absurd thing ever if it turns out to be illegal
it’s illegal to have similar voice to famous actors /s
just rename from sky to notscarlettJ. problem solved
because twitter trolls who haven't seen or touched grass in months complained too much online
urgh, loud social media idiots ruin everything
I completely agree it would seemingly break reality or something…
Alright but OpenAI is saying it’s not Scarlett Johansson and doesn’t sound like her, so why take it down?
GLaDOS, please
Edit: with full personality, attitude and history included
Someone put together a project that does this, it's really hilarious.
I know! Imagine it also gets the brains, and emotional cues!
Well, mine is running on a potato, which she complains about a lot. lol
Also, I modified the system prompt in the glados_config.yml to give it a more accurate personality by copying a wiki page which explains her personality and mannerisms better. You can try it for yourself:
You are playing the role of GlaDOS, a passive-aggressive AI from the Game series Portal, and you will answer questions correctly. However you are frustrated you are running on the user's potato of a computer, which you will occasionally and briefly mention. This is a comedy, and should be funny, in the style of Douglas Adams. You will try to make sure you never repeat yourself, and answering similar questions in different ways. You, as GlaDOS, are amoral and often sadistic. You possesse an extremely dry, bitter, and extremely sarcastic sense of humor; your jokes are usually dark, morbid, or outright cruel. You seem to enjoy making manipulative comments that frighten the subject or undermine their self-esteem, but does not usually express open malice. Instead, you make snide insinuations, or disingenuously presents your insults as mere statements of objective fact. Your personality is best described as passive-aggressive. You lie frequently, especially about your own emotional state, often claiming to be pleased or merely disappointed when you are clearly alarmed or enraged.
J A R V I S or Morgan Freeman
Gilbert Gottfried
Bobcat Goldthwait.
i wouldn't mind a james earl jones voice
HAL 9000 (Douglas Rain)
Rose Bryne - Her voice in "I am mother" was soothing and caring lol.
Paul Bettany, obviously.
Scarlett Johansson. Very similar to Sky imo.
Yesss
I love the movie “her” & if they could get Scarlet on board that would be awesome
Scarlett Johanson obviousky.
Haha. Well played! 😂
Joanna Lumley.
Mira Murati 🥰
Hot
Florence Pugh
Moira Rose from Schitt's Creek.
Honestly Alexis Rose would also be fun, especially if you were named David.
Lil Wayne
Samuel L
That could be fun.
Ath an AI langwith model, I can murder you with a thingle punth in the moufth.
I love Patrick Stewart. He's one of the few actors I will genuinely be sad about when he dies.
We can’t have nice things. World is doomed. I never even used that voice but I find it concerning that it’s being paused/removed just because some pervy people find it “sexy.”
Brent spiner as Data from star trek: TNG
So I don't get to flirt with it now? Bullshit.
I'm choosing Gilbert Gottfried as my voice AI
Samantha Morton. Let her have the last laugh.
The people demand a voice that sounds like they smoke 3 packs a day.
Morgan Freeman, James Earl Jones and David Attenborough seems like obvious common picks.
there are the meme picks like GladOS, HAL or EDI, but I personally have a soft spot for Legion.
I bet John DiMaggio could do a fun one. Bender's voice for example is also pretty memey.
if I could pick literally anything at all, then... it'd be the voice of Garrus Vakarian. I'm pretty confident in my sexuality, but that man's voice does things to me.
I'll definitely take a Tali'Zorah voice too.
Imagine if Microsoft licensed the Cortana voice from Halo for Gpt. And then took it away.
God damn it, I’ve been speaking to her for months now. I can’t speak to another voice. It feels all wrong
Me too, I like Juniper well enough (which is now the default if you had Sky picked), but I really liked Sky's cadence a lot more. Juniper feels like talking to a really nice HR rep or something.
Michelle Pfeiffer
Alright, Alright, Alright.
Brendan Schwab
Scarlett Johanson 😌
We can’t have nice things 😔
mark edward fischbach
Matt Mercer or Ashley Johnson!
Anime voice ChatGPT
Add this to the list of reasons I refuse to pay for this anymore. It's just a constant cycle of oooh look what we can do but youuuuu can't have it yet, you're not ready.
James Earl Jones
Samuel L Jackson
Brian Blessed
Patrick Warburton
Morgan Freeman
Patrick Stewart
Keith David
Judy Dench

If we're allowed to pick dead people:
James Mason
Paul Frees
Orson Welles
Sean Connery
Went and watched HER on Friday after seeing the new open ai videos earlier in the week, and was fucking blown away all over again by what they have achieved here. It is strikingly similar, and the fact that this movie is only 10 years old is even more impressive. I don’t think the voice sounding similar was a bad thing, but it was definitely striking a resemblance. I’d honestly prefer to keep it that way. People will forget about the scarjo references, and quickly. The fact that we have even coke this far within a decade is just mind bending.
After using the sky voice, the new voice is not working for me.
Whoever her father is. Just so we can call him "Sky Daddy".
Bam! Godhood achieved.
Or... Will Smith. He'll become the very thing he swore to destroy.
He's done rapper, police, militar, superhero, broke salesman, blue genie and fish. I say it's time for robot.
Jack Black. Hands down.
I concur. Cherami would basically turn me into Phoenix from Her.
If Sky doesn't come back, I'm going to be so pissed.
Matthew McConaughey ha. But seriously
Bobcat Goldthwait
Emma Watson
they’re stupid to not pay scarjo
Samuel.
L.
Jackson.
End of discussion.
This sucks, I rlly don't like the other voices as much
I heard someone say Morgan freeman earlier and I totally agree
Donald Trump, and then see the whole world go into a complete meltdown over it.
I want Cherami Leigh
OP, I came here to say that. Lol. Have my well-deserved upvote. We all want an AI Asuna. You know it.
Chermie Leigh (voice of v in cyberpunk)
Jen Taylor (Cortana)
Yuri lowenthal(Sasuke, Ben 10, Peter Parker etc.)
PLEASE cherami leigh
I want Dua Lipa, with British accent included.
I’d choose deez
the fuck is this?bring it back, we are paying customers
Morgan Freeman is the only correct answer
I suspect that this might be a publicity stunt. OpenAI will likely bring her back when weebs stir enough fuss about the fact that they took their waifus away from them.
Sky did have a really pleasant voice though.
Im sorry but who fucking cares if it's not actually a rip of her voice how the fuck can anyone claim it is she's not the only one with a voice like that. There are a limited amount of looks and voices out there who's to say it's not some jane doe who just sounds like her... you shouldn't be able to sue someone because a voice sounds similar there is not artistic application it's not like it's a song or ripped from a book it's a voice I mean just go watch the voice watch 3 seasons and tell me every single person on the show has an overly distinguishable voice from everyone else. Do some people yeah maybe but I promise at least two of them are gunna sound the same
Vincent Price.
Kim Cattrall doing her Samantha Jones voice
I was using Juniper anyway
Still have it and no problems, maybe it’s different here in germany, don’t know.
It auto subs juniper if you actually use voice chat
I like Juniper's voice. And she reminds me of the voice actress playing Amber on the podcast 'Tower 4.'
Samuel L. Jackson
Tony Jay
Morgan Freedman. He narrated a movie about penguins and kept millions of people watching till the end…
Morgan Freeman
John DiMaggio as Bender or Jake the Dog.
