Re:Statement from Scarlett Johansson on the OpenAI "Sky" voice by krick on Tuesday May 21, 2024 @10:44PM (#40436850)
The funniest thing to me is the very fact that they wanted this voice so much that they though it was worth the hassle (so obvious in hindsight). I mean, I get it, the movie reference was welcome by their auditory (which is kinda cringey on it's own, to be honest, but ok, that's just reality). But it's not even a very pleasant voice, I remember people chuckling at the choice of Johansson's voice for the role back then. It was clearly a choice dictated by the fact that she is famous. It was marketing, the movie producers needed her name, not the voice. And OpenAI couldn't even use the name. It all just seems so silly now.

…Unless, of course, all this scandal isn't also a part of marketing campaign.
