OpenAI says its ChatGPT voice isn’t a Scarlett Johansson rip-off. Johansson disagrees
Fast Company, Tuesday - 05/21/2024 - 01:01 AM
The friendly rasp of ChatGPT’s ‘Sky’ voice is getting the AI company into hot water. Last week, OpenAI launched ChatGPT 4o, a new model of its chatbot assistant that converses in almost real time. Users could choose from five voices, including Sky, whose friendly intonation had a slight rasp vaguely reminiscent of Scarlett Johansson—an actor who, not coincidentally, had voiced an AI assistant in Her, a 2013 film that follows a man who falls in love with his computer’s operating system.

Waivers don’t shield ski resorts that violate state law from liability, Colorado Supreme Court rules
Denver Post, Monday - 05/20/2024 - 07:06 PM
The pages of fine print that skiers and snowboarders must agree to when hitting the slopes in Colorado — waivers of liability — do not protect ski resorts when resorts violate state laws or regulations, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled Monday.
