After a fan accused ChatGPT of imitating the voice of actress Scarlett Johansson, the conflict quickly escalated into a debate about who owns AI technology. This prompted Musk to weigh in on the likely prospect and extent of AI as well as the possibility of replication by voice. Some justified the performance of ChatGPT as ethical painting and writing, saying that it is rightful, and that the AI tool should be regarded as a means of self-expression. Some of the issues highlighted included talk of consent in relation to the use of AI-generated voices and the possible misuse of the technology. The issue brought about discussions related to regulation and responsibility in artificial intelligence, a relatively new area of science and technology, about ownership of artificial intelligence.
