Is yet another movie coming true?

OpenAI warns against making 'emotional connections' with new chat tech

OpenAI said in a blog post that it intends to further study the emotional reliance of users on its ChatGPT-4o model, the latest iteration of its chatbot product, after observing early testers saying things like "This is our last day together"….

This is actually an extension of a much older (in internet time) discussion about computer-generated voices (Siri, Alexa, et. al.) in general: Is it too spooky to make them sound realistic or should they remain robot-ish? And entertainment industry concern about computer-generated likenesses. Scarlet Johansson recently sued OpenAI, claiming they had ripped off her voice.

(And yes, the movie alluded to is, of course, Her.)
