Nothing? If you're acting like the sea witch in "The Little Mermaid" you're probably doing something wrong.

Key difference here is that Scarlett still has her voice.

Ah, violating copyright is not a crime, I see.

The comment I responded to made the statement that OAI behaved like the sea witch who literally stole someone's voice. That is not the case here, since Scarlett still has her voice and OAI only (allegedly?) copied it. Whether OAI violated copyright law is a different matter, but steal her voice they did not.

I don't think that's quite the same. Are they going out and hiring impersonators of the actors who declined the role or digitally enhancing the substitute to look like them? That seems closer to what happened here.
OpenAI did nothing wrong.
The movie industry does the same thing all the time. If an actor/actress says no they you find someone else who can play the same role.
