While the Sky voice and a version of ChatGPT Voice have been around for some time, the comparison to Johansson became more obvious due to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and many others, drawing the similarity between the new AI model and the movie “Her”.
When your CEO inadvertently helps build a copyright suit against your product… Not a good look.

I think it’s just so many of them at once they’re hoping they’ll cancel out
I mean, it’s worked for exceptionally well for C. Montgomery Burns, so why not this other cartoon miscreant?

Now we just need OpenAI to file a copyright suit against someone using their publicly available stuff to train an AI, and we’ll reach peak hilarity.
“peak hilarity”, or as they call it in copyright court, “Tuesday”.
Pay the lady whatever she asks and make it sound COMPLETELY like her. Worth it.
They asked her already and she refused.
The ChatGPT case aside, what are the copyright laws on impersonating the voice of an actor portraying a particular film character? If someone imitates the voice of Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow, or Andy Serkis playing Gollum, but makes no reference to the character apart from the voice performance, does that infringe on the copyright to the character?
I believe the SAG(Screen Actors Guild) just had a big strike about AI likenesses without proper compensation.
They did, but I’m not sure that applies in this case unless for some reason OpenAI signed a deal with SAG. Otherwise, they aren’t beholden to any protections not afforded by the law.
At least, AFAIK. Someone with more legal knowledge should probably chime in
Open AI seems to have dealt with their massive legal issues so far by signing caught red handed agreements.
There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.
Apparently Amelia Tyler - the Narrator for BG3 - checked in on some random twitch stream, and they had an AI voice trained from her narration controlled by twitch chat - which was saying some fucking horrendous stuff.
Scary as fuck.
Remember to talk to everyone you know about voice scams. Scammers absolutely are leveraging this tech, and piling it on top of the usual “I’ve flushed my phone down the toilet, I’m texting from a mates phone and I need money to buy a new one for my job interview tomorrow” kinda scams.
Agree on a password or something, so that if “you” ever call (edit: or text) and put them under pressure then they ask for the password. Scammers will instantly divert or bail.Aw man, Amelia Tyler is so amazing too. Her narration is amazing, and she’s got a lot of funny TikTok videos
Apparently the answer is no. There is even someone making a KITT app using a LLM, but using an AI voice based on a voice imitator as they didn’t got the rights from William Daniels and that’s legal.

Let’s just make the worse possible and then wait to see what happens. Only way to wake up from the AI nightmare. If we survive long enough.
IANAL but probably not
They knew what they were doing.
concerns it sounds too much like Scarlett Johansen is sly lingo for we may get sued by this actress for stealing her likeness
There’s no such a thing as “too much Scarlett Johansson”
Cool, please sit through 1,000 hours of Black Widow.
Take a break in the middle with Ghost in the Shell for a little bit of variety.
Suffering through that unlovable shit-fest once was enough.
Black Widow is a good film tho?
Red Sparrow is the better Black Widow movie.
Perhaps. But just because duck à l’orange is the superior dinner entree doesn’t mean I can’t still be perfectly satisfied with a nice grilled ribeye steak.
Most unhinged comment on the internet.
Sir there are literal Nazis online.
I know what I said
Depends on whether or not she has grounds to sue.
If she can prove they used Johansen’s voice as training data… Maybe. If the pitch and tambre of openai’s voice came about naturally I don’t see what leg they have to stand on.
Iirc it’s not like recording artists can sue other singers that happen to sound like them.
Sky is my favorite voice. It’d be a shame if they took it away as her voice is by far the best one of the bunch. It sounds so natural and makes Siri, Cortana, and Alexa seem crude in comparison.
Kinda related. What do you call yours? I called my GPT.
Haven’t really assigned a name yet. I only just subscribed to it a few days ago to help me create cover letters to accompany my resume.
I’m going to stop using their app. It doesn’t even sound like her at all…
After listening to it, I would say it’s a bit of a stretch. It may sound similar but the cadence is different. Definitely not Scarlett.
It didn’t sound anything like her.
That’s not what the CEO of the company thought.
ChatGPT has a voice?
It does. And it’s horny.
How is it horny?
I need details.
Since everyone is forcing OpenAI to license their data, OpenAI is being forced to scrape free chaturbate streams.
So all it does is ask for tips?
While sitting there doing absolutely nothing then occasionally typing and looking bored… Or so my friend tells me.
Here is a sample
That’s actually pretty good!
That’s actually scarily good.
Now all we need is it to talk to you in a sexy way

Whelp, we’re one step ever closer to terminators. Just gotta let Boston Dynamics cook now
Huh. Flirty “Her” terminators to lower your defenses before the kill. Didn’t see that coming.

They revealed some sort of companion for your phone that is ironically close to those in the movie „Her“ where the virtual girlfriend is voiced by Scarlet Johansson.
They want us to believe it was by accident but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t.
It’s definitely not an accident. This is Cuntman’s goal.
Irony, since Scarlet had dubbed over the original voice actor Samantha Morton because in post Spike Jonze realized the voice needed something “different”. So in the movie they needed to turn the dial up a bit, while in reality they started at 11 and had to dial it back.
Yeah if you have the app click on the headphones button. Not sure if it is available on free version.
It’s fairly useful. I was cleaning yesterday and just going over some study material with it. Didn’t have to keep stopping to type.
Wow, the media figured that out now? After what, 6 months since this has been public and for free?
Wow, time goes that fast where you live? I’m posting this 15 minutes after you, so that’s like 2 weeks for you.
Got any stock tips?
Always text back random numbers that text you and definitely join their secret Telegram channel.
So they’re just doing a way shittier version of the movie “Her”?
Is the person who took a dump in johnny depps bed?
If this is serious the answer is no
