Well, that statement lays out a damning timeline:

- OpenAI approached Scarlett last fall, and she refused.

- Two days before the GPT-4o launch, they contacted her agent and asked that she reconsider. (Two days! This means they already had everything they needed to ship the product with Scarlett’s cloned voice.)

- Not receiving a response, OpenAI demos the product anyway, with Sam tweeting “her” in reference to Scarlett’s film.

- When Scarlett’s counsel asked for an explanation of how the “Sky” voice was created, OpenAI yanked the voice from their product line.

Perhaps Sam’s next tweet should read “red-handed”.

Does it really cost a to train one voice?

Seems pretty reckless to not have alternatives just in case Scarlett refused.

Probably 5-10 minutes worth of dataset and GPU time for finetuning on an existing base model. Could be done on a Blu-ray rip or an in-person audition recording, legality and ethics aside.
