Well, this confirms that OpenAI have been shooting from the hip, not that we needed much confirmation. The fact that they repeatedly tried to hire Johansson, then went ahead and made a soundalike while explicitly describing that they were trying to make it be like her voice in the movie … is pretty bad for them.

OpenAI claimed they hired a different professional actor who performed using her own voice [1].

If so, I suspect they’ll be okay in a court of law — having a voice similar to a celebrity isn’t illegal.

It’ll likely cheese off actors and performers though.

I mean, unless an investigation can find any criteria used to select this particular actress like "sounds like Scarlett" in an email somewhere, or you know, the head idiot intentionally and publicly posting the title of a movie starring the actress in relation to the soundalike's voice work.
