OpenAI confirmed it by removing the voice immediately after Johansson's lawyers reached out

That's not confirmation. That's called prudence.

Ask to use Alice's likeness in my product, get declined. Ask again. Debut product, users say "this sounds a lot like Alice". The day my product releases, I make a public statement referencing a movie Alice starred in. When Alice asks how I made my product, I delete all access to the product.

How else am I supposed to interpret this?
