Similar voices, clearly different actresses. Imagine refusing a job then feeling entitled to some sort of compensation...

Honestly sounds nothing like Scarlett Johansson to me. OpenAI is shit for many reasons but this seems just another "AI" hysteria wave being pushed.

It sounds somewhat like her character from the movie Her to me, but based on the standards set by the entertainment industry it seems reasonable for her to lose the lawsuit. If you can't hire an actor for a role, you can get a voice actor to do a similar voice. This is done often in animation.

Crispin Glover's lawsuit against Back to the Future 2 could have set a precedent for image likeness, but he ended up settling, so it seems the industry is just avoiding this problem instead.

That's where the sample in the video is from, no?

[–] Kolrami@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, I differentiate because I think Scarlett sounds less like her character from that movie in real life.

I was specifically responding to that side by side comparison though.
