WilshireScarlett Johansson denied OpenAI the right to use her voice. They used it anyway.
SnausagesinaBlanketA big lawsuit is necessary to set a precedence.
lorkanoThis article is bullshit man, voice is not even that similar, there is 0 proof that’s her voice or even that they asked her if they can use her voice. People is blowing this out of proportion
But they did ask if they could license her voice and she said no. Balls in your court.
Guy you replied to did miss that part but consider the (still to be verified) facts.
-
they ask to use her voice, she declined.
-
they proceed by not using her voice. Someone else’s voice instead.
“We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity’s distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice. To protect their privacy, we cannot share the names of our voice talents.
The end result is pretty clear here. Either this other person exist and could testify privately in court with her natural voice which she has the rights to work with OpenAi. There is a closure in law where not being able to provide evidence that the court knows must exist can make you guilty. Openai could have tried to pull a “this is a fully unique synthetic voice” but crucially they did not.
