If Right to Publicity laws indeed favor Scarlet here, then the law is really outdated and needs to catch up with the current paradigm.
A company wanted a voice, had something in their minds, approached a voice actor who has a similar voice to what they have in mind, got rejected, then approached next candidate and worked with her. Simple as that. If this is illegal, I don't know what is legal.
- GaggiX 2y agoOpenAi had been working with the "Sky" voice actress for months before first contacting Scarlett Johansson.
- flutas 2y agoAnd one of the co-founders of OpenAI (Karpathy) also quite literally said "The killer app of LLMs is Scarlett Johansson." the day after the announcement. https://x.com/karpathy/status/1790373216537502106 https://x.com/karpathy/status/1790373216537502106
- GaggiX 2y agoHe wouldn't be the only person to want Scarlett Johansson voice inside ChatGPT, I read several comments wanting that (I guess "Sky" voice doesn't sound so similar after all), btw Karpathy doesn't really work for OpenAI anymore.
