They did produce the actual voice artist!

I don't see that here: https://openai.com/index/how-the-voices-for-chatgpt-were-cho...

Is my my google-fu failing me and I'm not looking in the right place?

If you read the WaPo article that's the topic of this thread, you'll see that the actual voice artist is quoted in the article.

No. You'll see that the anonymous artist's anonymous agent supplied a quote he got in an email to WaPo.

Where? Right now you have "An anonymous person says that an anonymous person said this to him in an email".

That's a pretty low bar for "produced the actual voice artist".

To the Washington Post, which verified it. The Post doesn't much care if you can verify their work, because no reasonable person believes they're making this up.

Words are important. The WaPo didn't verify the voice actor at all:

- "The agent said the actress confirmed..."

- "In a statement from the actress provided by the agent..."

The WaPo hasn't spoken to or verified who the voice actor is.
