That feels like, how to lie with staristics
In a sample of only 600 voices, there were ~12 actresses whose voice was more similar to chatgpt than Johansson. Presumably many of these samples were significantly different (i assume it covers a wide range, e.g. gravely deep male voices, people with different accents). The fact there are 12 more similar matches is striking to me.
If anything, i feel like this is strong evidence for the opposite of the headline.
- linsomniac 2y ago>covers a wide range, e.g. gravely deep male voices It does say "600 professional actresses", so at least they have some limits to their lying with statistics. :-)
- GrantMoyer 2y ago12 out of 600 is 2%, just like the headline says. I don't think the headline putting the number in relative terms is particularly misleading.
- krisoft 2y ago> I don't think the headline putting the number in relative terms is particularly misleading. "Scarlet's bogus claim: here are 12 actresses who you might know who sound more like Sky than her." Is how you would present the same information with the opposite slant. "The analysis of Sky often rated Hathaway and Russell as being even more similar to the AI than Johansson" So how does that support the title?
- bawolff 2y agoThe headline says "strikingly similar". I do not think that fits the numbers. In the last 50 people you talked to, did 1 of them have a voice that struck you as strikingly similar to ScarJo?
