I read that Scarlett's family & friends couldn't tell it apart from her actual voice.
I'd say that "Open AI" or whatever they're called, trained it specifically on only her voice.
The seems-narcissistic-machiavellian-sociopath-CEO whats-his-face tried to get her to agree to this,
she wouldn't agree,
he tweeted "her" when releasing the update ( after Scarlett's movie )
she lawyered up,
he backed down..
I'd say it's a clear case of identity-theft-for-profit of a celebrity, by a consistently narcissistic-machiavellian-sociopath who's kinda leaving lots of corpses of "integrity" all over the place.
There's some law which protects celebrities from use of their likeness, and rightly:
it's their "coin" that their career is made-of, right?

frankly I'm amazed they tried to pull this shit when it was so obvious and Johannson obviously wasn't on board.
