I don't have a dog in this fight but just to be clear, OpenAI has stated that they paid a voice actor to create the voice ("Sky") that sounds like Scarlett Johanssen. There was no "cloning" or "stealing" (that they say).

- exitb 2y agoThis is subtly wrong. They tried to hire the celebrity, got refused, then hired a different talent to do her “natural voice”. The official story is that it just happens to sound alike.
- kbelder 2y agoIt's interesting that this rumor has been pointed out at least three times in this discussion, and every time it's voted down. Doesn't fit with the passions of many posters, I guess.
- johnnyanmac 2y agobecause it's an uncharitable interpretation at best, and misleading at worst. They approached her, they refused, and then they hired a sound-a-like. That is textbook Ford v Milder. They may have been absolutely fine if Altman never approached Scarlet. But context matters.
