Listen to the voices side by side:

And here is voice of another actress ( Rashida Jones ):

If you click through and listen please reply and answer these questions: which actress do you think is similar to the openAI sky voice? And what does that tell you about likely court result for Johansson? And having reached this conclusion yourself would you now think the other actress Rashida Jones is entitled to compensation based on this similarly test?

Are you asking me to trust that a video clip posted to the ChatGPT subreddit by u/SWAMPMONK is providing an accurate audio recording of the openAI sky voice?

You can literally go look up the original demo footage on YouTube too. Which is what I did (before that comparison was created) and didn't think it sounded anything like SJ.

Put side by side...I can hear a similarity, but they're also distinctly different (the OAI voice doesn't have the huskiness of the Her VA IMO, but they're both Californian female with a bubbly demeanour).

Thanks! Hadn’t heard it before now. They don’t sound all that similar to me, though perhaps I am a bit detail-oriented on account of my linguistics background.

You might be right, but still if it goes to court, OpenAI knows they have an uphill battle. Any jury is going to love Johansson.

The voice doesn't need to sound the same for OpenAI to lose.

Wait, what's the music artifact at 0:54? What are they even doing!?

If you program a digital voice to sound like someone, there's zero difference than using an impersonator. A voice actress playing a role in a movoe (Her), is 100% that actress's voice too.

People are so weird on this. OpenAI screwed up, they know it, their actions show it, there isn't much to discuss here.
