OpenAI faced backlash from Scarlett Johansson for using an AI voice resembling hers in a ChatGPT demo.
Johansson had previously rejected OpenAI's request to use her voice.
Her lawyers contacted OpenAI for clarification on how the voice was created.
Following the contact, OpenAI removed the voice from the demo.
CEO Sam Altman referenced the film 'Her' in response to the controversy.
The incident underscores challenges in replicating human likeness in AI.
It also highlights the importance of obtaining clear consent from individuals.
