OpenAI has been in the news lately because one of the new 4o voices sounds like Scarlett Johansson in the movie Her.

Allegedly Scarlett Johansson was approached multiple times about being the voice, but turned it down, so they just made a voice that sounds like her.

There were some tweets that had very conspicuous timings that accelerated the drama.

It seems that google is mixing in the largest related search terms.

I am well aware of the situation, hence me searching her name.

But that doesn’t explain the nonsense word salad. I would actually be very skeptical to assume that these were taken verbatim from searchers.

You would have needed A LOT of people to have searched that exact phrase for it to be added to PAA.

Google does a good job with People Also Ask, and I have never seen this before. It might be nothing, but I am leaning towards one of their NLP systems leaking.

Google does a good job with People Also Ask?

It's a great service for providing the wrong answers to things I didn't search for, but I admit I haven't yet figured out why I am supposed to desire this.

Yeah that sentence would literally be caught by a rudimentary grammar checker. This is what happen when you apply YOLO-driven design decisions on the basics of your core product.
