Wow. Having something similar to someone else does not equal theft. What is wrong with people? Why are they acting so weird about this. What about the voice actor that did this? Is her voice 'theft'?

Then explain Sam Atlman's tweet, "her": https://x.com/sama/status/1790075827666796666?lang=en https://x.com/sama/status/1790075827666796666?lang=en And you already admitted "they were clearly trying to get someone to sound like her". You pre-lost your own argument yourself, before I even replied, with your own words. Why are you acting so weird about this, like there's something wrong with you, and then trying to project it onto other people? Trying to emulate Trump's debating techniques and psychological disorders doesn't work any more, nor look very good on you.

  I don't need to explain anything. Why should I explain a tweet? The tweet is the tweet, they used it for marketing. It doesn't' change anything, they can make it seem similar to her if they want by hiring a voice actor with similar characteristics, the voice actor is paid for there work and they get something that is great marketing. There is no theft here. This is a completely normal situation, your massive overreaction is not normal. If they stole her voice outright, there is a problem, but it is extremely unlikely they did. So then there is no issue. It's common sense, i'm not sure what's wrong with you that you are trying to bring politics into it.

    Again with the psychological projection.

      That wasn't my intention, so apologies if i've come across wrongly, I was just taken aback by the reaction. To me the situation is clear and common sense, you have a different view, which is bizarre to me, but likewise then I assume my view must be bizarre to you. We have both expressed those and it's not worth going forward and arguing over something that is fairly irrelevant to both our lives.
