A comment on OpenAI to Pull Scarlet Johansson Soundalike Sky's Voice from ChatGPT.
OpenAI clearly wants the “her” association. It’s already the favourite voice and projects many of the existing and imagined capabilities really well.
So they tried to pay for it, but it was either too expensive or blocked by SJ.
Her/teams comments read like a negotiation.
But I suspect they’ve overplayed their hand. At best they may get a settlement and OpenAI will modify the voice to make it sound less like SJ.
