I’m much more concerned about the fact that the voice has simulated emotions behind it, leading people to trust their hallucinating AI even more.
lol bitch I don’t know who she is that is hilarious honestly if it wasn’t all going into such serious direction
One of her more recent and popular roles is Black Widow in the Marvel/Avengers movies. The one with red hair, dresses in an all black leather biker suit like an assassin, and acts as the sort of voice of reason to help keep the heroes grounded. (like being able to calm down the hulk when he’s having one of his fits)
Another role was as the title character in Lucy. The movie where she was conned/forced to be a drug mule and inadvertently got dosed with what she was carrying. This sort of supercharged her mind to superhuman levels, and turned her into a perfect assassin to be able to seek revenge on everyone who did her wrong.
Obviously, it is impossible for her to not know the actress it’s a clear lie
Honestly I would not recognize the name if it were not for a guy I knew who she was his dream girls (for some reason there is a type of guy who has one model, actress, etc that they are just obssesed with. The obsession is not huge but you will know how much they like X. I guess sometimes its a band or athlete and can be male now that I think of it)
Send a huge bill and then sue for payment. Let them fight the fight for you.
Let’s say OpenAI did actually use Scarlett Johansson’s voice. Who owns the audio that OpenAI used? Scarlett Johansson herself or the movie company that used the audio in their movie(s)? This might be a case of Scarlett Johansson vs the movie company, not Scarlett Johansson vs OpenAI, as OpenAI could have paid for them.
If she signed away her likeness rights then probably. However if the contract didn’t have a provision for transfer to another medium then they would revert to her.

Nearly 2 years ago we were considering moving to San Francisco and I began to search for jobs. I found one that I was well qualified for and took a deep look at, but backed out because it was full of all this bold-faced language about 40 hours on prem and how remote would never be permitted. The wording really seemed a bit shocking to me and I backed the heck away. It was OpenAI and they tried to fire Altman like a month later. I am so glad that I walked away from that, the whole thing is terrifying.
Kinda weird, the whole idea of using ones voice. Make no sense.
It sounds more like Rashida Jones.
Shut this shit company down
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Scarlett Johansson is famed for many roles, among them her disquieting performance in Her, a movie about the relationship between a man and an AI chatbot.
When OpenAI boss Sam Altman contacted Johansson to ask to use her voice for his company’s forthcoming real-life AI chatbot, you can well imagine why1 she said no.
Johansson, clearly livid, ultimately issued a public statement and a legal letter before the clone was removed.
“I was shocked, angered and in disbelief that Mr. Altman would pursue a voice that sounded so eerily similar to mine that my closest friends and news outlets could not tell the difference,” she said, … “In a time when we are all grappling with deepfakes and the protection of our own likeness, our own work, our own identities, I believe these are questions that deserve absolute clarity,” Johansson said in a statement to NPR.
But Murati’s audacious claim never to have heard the voice of the AI chatbot in her boss’s favorite movie is key to understanding something else: they don’t just think they’re the smartest people in the world, they think that everyone else is stupid.
As a final fun thing today, check out how Google News’s AI junk has hallucinated a factually incorrect headline that’s the exact opposite of the truth here:

We literally have wars being fought over simple misunderstandings and half truths. How much worse is it going to be, when AIS take hold.
Google lost the Artificial Intelligence race… so now they’re trying to win the race to Artificial Stupidity.
I doubt they are using Johansson’s voice. I expect they need much more studio-quality training data than they would have for her.
The desire to create a “Her” might be real but explains why they chose a similar voice actress, made Sky the default, and continued to pursue Johansson to some day create the real thing.
Suspending the Sky voice looks guilty but it might be a temporary action while the legal team considers their response. There might be a non-zero risk of being found liable if there were directions in the voice casting process to seek a result comparable to Scarlet Johansson. You’d want to collect and assess correspondence to see if that’s a possibility, which might take a while.
Fine tuning a general TTS model on a specific custom voice doesn’t require as much data as you think it does.
The hard part is building the foundational model that can be easily fine tuned. And OpenAI has already done that.
Wtf is this thinking.
Open Ai wouldn’t use something or someone without consent? There’s a plethora of lawsuits and evidence that they did that with pretty much every medium out there.
Wtf is this thinking.
Dispassionate, intellectually honest analysis.
If only she was ever in a situation where her voice was professionally recorded.
Since when would an actress be in front of a camera?
Pursuing a voice to match that of “Her” is a very weird move considering the story it tries to convey
I have 4o and it doesn’t sound like her at all.

Wish I had time yesterday to do a comparison myself, using better clips from Her and the newest OpenAI demo clips. Plus would get the ChatGPT app to speak some lines from Her.
Most of AI just seems to blatant theft and copyright issues.
Not in this case.
And traumatizing developing countries labor with what the internet has of most terrible.
No, it’s only theft when it’s poor people doing it.
When it’s rich people, it’s fair use of a publicly available resource.
That’s pretty much the whole point.
Making use of other people’s work and likeness in a way that removes any obligations you would normally have to those people.
Just clearly define “copyright violation” for us, and we’ll craft a method that technically eludes your definition.
Welp, we finally have the voice spoofer from Uplink.
“My voice is my passport, verify me.”
I can’t not read that in a garbled south african accent.
Fuck me sometimes I felt like I was the only person on the planet to play that game
Hah, guess there are at least 3 of us here.
Though I found it randomly on Steam, a decadeish after it originally came out.
Do not try to play it in 4k. It’ll work, because its an actually well coded game, but there is no scaling lol. Teeeny Tiny UI.
My brother played the heck out of Uplink as a kid; thanks to him, I know about the UplinkOS mod, which makes the game (more) playable at higher resolutions. It looks to be an overhaul of the entire UX, so your mileage may vary, I guess.
Hey, I did not know about that! Thanks!
