“He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and AI,” Johannson wrote of the interaction this week.
Johansson is inextricably linked to the contemporary conception of AI by her iconic performance in Spike Jonze’s acclaimed 2013 film “Her,” in which she voiced a chatbot that became romantically entangled with a human character played by Joaquin Phoenix.
But “nine months later,” she continued, “I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference” in a new version of ChatGPT that can carry out a spoken conversation with users.
Its spokespeople — there are none so prominent as the increasingly ubiquitous Altman, who’s produced an endless stream of headlines with his simpering forecasts about how AI will soon make the world better for everybody — refuse to apologize for training their models on data indiscriminately scraped from authors, artists, and anything else they could scavenge online.
Sometimes the Altmans of the world tepidly offer that individual creators will be able to opt out of the racket, which is of pale comfort to writers getting replaced by ChatGPT or artists losing work to OpenAI’s DALL-E.
But trampling on Johansson’s wishes around her own likeness show how the industry really operating: by moving fast, seizing anything it needs to gain market share, and using rhetoric about potential utopias and doomsdays to try to wrangle permission after the fact.
