Scarlett Johansson denied OpenAI the right to use her voice. They used it anyway. (boingboing.net)

And they didn't use her voice. Article clearly states that she said she is shocked they choose similar voice to her after she declined. It makes sense for open Ai to choose similar one because when they were preparing list of the voices they obviously wanted voice to be of her kind. It's not like her voice is something so fucking unique she has copyright over all of the similar voices in the world

And despite all your lame denials they are shutting that voice down. Why is that?

compliance isn't admission of guilt but again it's OPENAI.

Because lawsuits are expensive, even when you're not guilty.

I don't think they'd be stupid enough to lie about hiring a voice actress for a voice model when they didn't.
