#12Huh.
Never sounded like her to me but whatever. Maybe OpenAI should hire a relative nobody like Apple did with Siri.

#13Zvi has a pretty good summary of what happened: https://thezvi.wordpress.com/2024/05/22/do-not-mess-with-sca...

#14Maybe I'm an outlier, I don't think the voice sounds like Scarlett Johansson. This seems pushed way out of proportion for what it is.

#15To me that voice never sounded like her. Even when I try to listen as if it is really her talking. The voice in the movie 'Her' was very distinct. Not this one though. What about the voice of actress who actually did lend her voice for Sky? Can she claim that this is her voice?
>OpenAI said. “To protect their privacy, we cannot share the names of our voice talents.”
Not sure the angle there though? If I was the voice actor I'd love for them to share my name, maybe lead to other gigs.

#16> Scarlett Johansson Says OpenAI Ripped Off Her Voice for ChatGPT
False clickbait title from Wired.
SJ's statement says nothing of the sort. https://x.com/BobbyAllyn/status/1792679435701014908

#17What if this was just regulatory capture of the licensed voice cloning industry in disguise?
Just deliberately make a point to regulators on how unlicensed AI voice cloners are cloning actors voices without their permission an scare Hollywood to introduce regulations to wipe out unlicensed voice cloners from the market.
I’m convinced that is what this looks like. What’s next is that OpenAI will settle and the rules will be defined for licensing cloned voices.
A market only for those who can afford the license costs: Big Tech, OpenAI and Eleven Labs.

#18It doesn't sound like her at all. I don't get why this is garnering so much attention.

Yes ut would be the first time I’d see an actor refusing to be credited for their work.

#20I wouldn't be surprised if they found someone that sounded like her, their version of the story sounds on-brand for their specific variety of poor judgement.
This could have gone a lot differently if they didn't try to contact Johansson and didn't publicly mention the film, even if they intended it to sound very similar. Lots of hubris on their part. They set their own trap.
