    Scarlett Johansson takes on OpenAI over ChatGPT's sultry Sky voice

    Scarlett Johansson just called out OpenAI for releasing a ChatGPT voice that sounded eerily like her own, forcing the company to pause the controversial "Sky" option. Johansson revealed she explicitly rejected Sam Altman's pitch to voice the system months ago, hiring legal counsel after hearing the viral GPT-4o demo. OpenAI claims the voice belongs to another actress, but pausing the rollout shows Hollywood's pushback is landing.

    OpenAI just saw its biggest mobile revenue spike yet following the GPT-4o rollout. App intelligence data reveals the ChatGPT app generated $4.2M in net revenue across iOS and Android in just five days, nearly doubling its daily average.

    Apple taps OpenAI to bring ChatGPT tech to iOS 18

    Apple is reportedly teaming up with OpenAI to integrate the startup's chatbot technology into iOS 18, with a formal announcement planned for WWDC on June 10.

    OpenAI explains ChatGPT voice casting, benches Sky

    OpenAI just detailed the five-month casting process behind ChatGPT's voices while pausing the controversial Sky voice after comparisons to Scarlett Johansson. CEO Sam Altman insisted the voice belongs to a different actress and was never meant to mimic Johansson, despite reaching out to her twice. Why it matters: As voice AI gets eerily realistic, celebrity soundalikes are rapidly turning into a major legal and PR battlefield.

    OpenAI is thinking about allowing AI porn

    OpenAI just revealed it is exploring ways to "responsibly" allow NSFW and adult content in its generative AI products.

    OpenAI just inked a content licensing deal with Dotdash Meredith, the media giant behind People and InStyle. ChatGPT will now cite its articles and train on its content library, while the publisher will tap OpenAI's models to upgrade its cookieless ad-targeting tool, D/Cipher.

Headed by recently hired Inflection co-founder Mustafa Suleyman, it marks Microsoft's first massive internal frontier model since investing over $10 billion in OpenAI. Owning its own heavyweight model gives the tech giant crucial leverage and a strong hedge against OpenAI.
