Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI "Sky" voice

They approached Johansson and she said no. They found another voice actor who sounds slightly similar and paid her instead.

The movie industry does this all the time.

Johansson is probably suing them so they're forced to remove the Sky voice while the lawsuit is happening.

I'm not a fan of Sam Altman or OpenAI but they didn't do anything wrong here.

Then they should credit that actress and we can see if its legit, otherwise we believe they used copyrighted audio from S. Johansson's movies.

>otherwise we believe they used copyrighted audio from S. Johansson's movies.

I will slightly rewrite the quoted bit to reflect reality as is currently known by the public: "otherwise we assert without evidence they used copyrighted audio". I'm fully of the opinion that everyone on both sides is wrong here, and I'm only right because I hold the most minimal opinion; that everyone needs to go outside and touch grass because this whole thing is bizarre and pointless.
