Wake up honey, new Zitron just dropped.

Looks like Sammy boy has a crush on Scarlett Johansson and wanted to model his sexy chatbot after her role in the movie Her. The damage control is actually hilarious.

Altman subsequently claimed that the actress for Sky was cast before the company reached out to Johansson.

“Yeah, I don’t want to go out with you anyway. Also, I already have a girlfriend but she goes to a different school, so you wouldn’t know her. And no, I won’t tell you who it is!”

I mean, we all knew that OpenAI is a fucking clown show of a company run by wannabe nerd frat boys with way too much money, but I didn’t think we’d get high school level relationship drama this season.

Did you just editorialize an editorial? There is grass outside, and it yearns to be touched.

    Don’t worry, I’ll go back to touching grass once I’m done clowning on AI-brained tech bozos for the day.

    He does have a point though. The TTS does sound pretty different from "Her".

    ...but it also sounds a shit ton like Johansson in general. Which would make sense if it was trained on a corpus of her speaking rather than just clips from the one movie.

    I mean come on, it sounds like chatGPT's about to tell me that the sun's getting real low.

    it’s always funny when posters we’ve never seen here before blow through to try and enforce norms from the orange site and other shitty tech communities, as if a post that could be summed up as “stop having tech takes in TechTakes” would ever be of any value to anyone
