Quick Summary:

ChatGPT’s developer, OpenAI, said Sky was "a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice”, but it pulled the voice "out of respect for Ms Johansson”.

The BBC has revealed that various websites and YouTube channels are using AI to clone the voice of David Attenborough and get him to say things – about Russia, about the US election – that surely he would never say.

It’s not the first time it has happened to a celebrity – Scarlett Johansson refused to license her voice to ChatGPT and accused them of creating it anyway, in a character called Sky.
