What about the copyright issue? You can’t mimic the voice of a narrator without their consent. OpenAI landed in trouble after using Scarlett Johansson’s voice in a demo.

- benatkin 2y agoShe only won in that OpenAI decided it wasn’t worth the trouble.
- K0balt 2y agoYeah, by my ear it was pretty clearly not SJ’s voice-likeness, although there were some superficial similarities. But some people could have mistook it due to some regional accent similarities, though it would be akin to interpretation of any light southern drawl with a similar timbre as being SJ.
- mmahemoff 2y agoThey also asked her for permission in advance, which was never going to help their case.
- K0balt 2y agolol yeah. That made it look like anything vaguely similar would be an attempt to model SJ, and triggered due diligence by her legal team. Not filing at that point would be de facto precedent that SJ did not lay claim to her voice likeness. Sounds like SJ has a better legal team that OAI did.
