OpenAI has said it will “pause” the use of one of the voices in ChatGPT after it drew comparisons with Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson.

Some users had commented on a similarity between Johansson’s voice and one of the voice options named Sky found inside the app following an update that makes ChatGPT more conversational and even flirtatious, according to some commentators.
