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.

What doing satire has to do with the matter?

How do you think it would go if OpenAI had used actors with the voices of Biden or Trump and Altman had tweeted “POTUS” just before the event?

Altman knew exactly what he was doing.

I strongly feel she has a case. Altman may not have violated criminal law, but he has used backdoor marketing, climbing on her shoulders to sell a product.

For example

Also that he reached out to her to get an agreement just before he went live with the sky voice and tweeted "Her".

[–] NeptuneOrbit@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The circumstantial evidence is very high as well. This voice actor saying she doesn't sound like Scarlett Johanson is absolutely meaningless. Sucks she got pulled into this I guess?

[–] kbin_space_program@kbin.run 5 points 3 months ago

Yeah, that she wasn't given direction is meaningless when you have editing software. Not to mention that there are a ton of videos showing how easy it is to train LLMs to reproduce a voice given samples.
