WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — Storytime Village broke ground on its new literacy-based community center in northeast Wichita Monday.

It will include a daycare for children five and younger, internet and computer access and will provide monthly health screenings.

“When you think of literacy, you may just think of reading books, but this literacy center will provide wrap-around services, everything from enabling health, work all sorts of things that will help to uplift the community in so many ways,” said President and CEO of Storytime Village Dr. Prisca Barnes.

The plan is to open the center next fall.

A $5 million grant from the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund is paying for the project.

Scarlett Johansson says that OpenAI approached her to use her voice
OpenAI is removing one of the voices used by ChatGPT. Users found that it sounded similar to Scarlett Johansson, the company announced on Monday, and Johansson herself released a statement saying she hired legal council to inquire about the Sky voice and get exact details about how it was developed. "We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity's distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice," the company wrote in a blog post.
