And hasn't OpenAI recently shown that they can pull off a commercial coup d'état, unscathed?
Why would they not simply also take the voice of some actress? That's small potatoes.
No one is going to push back against OpenAI meaningfully.
People are still going to use ChatGPT to cheat on their homework, to phone-in their jobs, and to try to ride OpenAI's coattails.
The current staff have already shown they're aligned with the coup.
Politicians and business leaders befriend money.
Maybe OpenAI will eventually settle with the actress, for a handful of coins they found in the cushions of their trillion-dollar sofa.
Couldn't, perhaps, one of the more famous people on Earth be responsible for "meaningfully" taking OpenAI to task for this? Perhaps even being the impetus for legislative action?
If they tell the story of OpenAI, in a way that reaches people, that would be a triumph of the real artists, over the dystopian robo-plagiarists.
I love it already.
