Sky voice actor says nobody ever compared her to ScarJo before OpenAI drama - eviltoast
OpenAI’s feud with Scarlett Johansson could cost Hollywood AI deals.

OpenAl is sticking to its story that it never intended to copy Scarlett Johansson’s voice when seeking an actor for ChatGPT’s “Sky” voice mode.

This all “feels personal," the voice actress said, "being that it’s just my natural voice and I’ve never been compared to her by the people who do know me closely.”

This comes at a time when many studios are otherwise intrigued by the idea of using AI for things like digital effects but remain, after a long history of avoiding copyright conflicts, hesitant to connect with any company potentially viewed as stealing artists’ work without consent, Reuters reported.

    I’m inclined to think they supplemented the training data with Johansson’s long career.

    But why do that? They’re already paying someone they can have her say everything they need.

      They’re paying her for plausible deniability. They tried multiple times to get Johansson to agree to allow her voice to be used, including two days before they released it. They’re covering their ass.
