    While the Sky voice and a version of ChatGPT Voice have been around for some time, the comparison to Johansson became more obvious due to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and many others, drawing the similarity between the new AI model and the movie “Her”.

    When your CEO inadvertently helps build a copyright suit against your product… Not a good look.

    There’s no such a thing as “too much Scarlett Johansson”

    The ChatGPT case aside, what are the copyright laws on impersonating the voice of an actor portraying a particular film character? If someone imitates the voice of Johnny Depp playing Jack Sparrow, or Andy Serkis playing Gollum, but makes no reference to the character apart from the voice performance, does that infringe on the copyright to the character?

      I believe the SAG(Screen Actors Guild) just had a big strike about AI likenesses without proper compensation.

        They did, but I’m not sure that applies in this case unless for some reason OpenAI signed a deal with SAG. Otherwise, they aren’t beholden to any protections not afforded by the law.

        At least, AFAIK. Someone with more legal knowledge should probably chime in

          Open AI seems to have dealt with their massive legal issues so far by signing caught red handed agreements.

      There are no applicable laws that I know about, and as a voice actor I am similarly concerned. There is a lot of focus on this in the industry atm, but we all know how glacially slow government moves. SAG-AFTRA and NAVA have this as a focus currently, and I’m watching with interest.

        Apparently Amelia Tyler - the Narrator for BG3 - checked in on some random twitch stream, and they had an AI voice trained from her narration controlled by twitch chat - which was saying some fucking horrendous stuff.

        Scary as fuck.

        Remember to talk to everyone you know about voice scams. Scammers absolutely are leveraging this tech, and piling it on top of the usual “I’ve flushed my phone down the toilet, I’m texting from a mates phone and I need money to buy a new one for my job interview tomorrow” kinda scams.
        Agree on a password or something, so that if “you” ever call (edit: or text) and put them under pressure then they ask for the password. Scammers will instantly divert or bail.

          Aw man, Amelia Tyler is so amazing too. Her narration is amazing, and she’s got a lot of funny TikTok videos

      Let’s just make the worse possible and then wait to see what happens. Only way to wake up from the AI nightmare. If we survive long enough.

    Sky is my favorite voice. It’d be a shame if they took it away as her voice is by far the best one of the bunch. It sounds so natural and makes Siri, Cortana, and Alexa seem crude in comparison.

        Haven’t really assigned a name yet. I only just subscribed to it a few days ago to help me create cover letters to accompany my resume.

      I’m going to stop using their app. It doesn’t even sound like her at all…

    concerns it sounds too much like Scarlett Johansen is sly lingo for we may get sued by this actress for stealing her likeness

    So they’re just doing a way shittier version of the movie “Her”?

    After listening to it, I would say it’s a bit of a stretch. It may sound similar but the cadence is different. Definitely not Scarlett.

    Wow, the media figured that out now? After what, 6 months since this has been public and for free?
