When I heard the demo, I assumed they licensed her voice until I read the press release.

If you listen to her voice in Her and listen to Sky back to back, they are clearly very different. Scarlett has some raspy tones to her voice that are very distinctive and come through even when she is talking like an AI.

I wonder if people just associate the "talking like an AI" thing to Scarlett and it's not actually her voice that seems familiar.
