OpenAI was forced to apologise to actor Scarlett Johansson last week for using her voice –- or something very similar –- on its latest chatbot, throwing the spotlight on to voice-cloning tech.
Although OpenAI denied the voice they used was Johansson’s, their case was not helped by CEO Sam Altman flagging the new model with a one-word message on social media — “Her”.
The program’s developers threw thousands of hours of voice data into their model in an unstructured way and discovered it not only learnt what to say but how to say it. “It was very unfortunate that OpenAI did that — really not very good,” Katya Laine, CEO of TALKR.ai, told AFP at VivaTech. Synthesia specialises in video avatars, which Riparbelli said allowed any office worker to turn text or slides into a video performed by a realistic AI.
In front of a big screen in an auditorium, Romain Huet, OpenAI’s Head of Developer Experience, breezily chatted into his phone. The Washington Post asked in a newsletter “How dumb is OpenAI?”, other commentators were suggesting wunderkind Altman was nothing more than a huckster.
