I don’t think OpenAI has a chance to win this in open court.

They are very likely to settle out of court. Investors get a bit anxious with pending litigation.

But I honestly hope Johansson does not. She certainly has the runway to take it all the way. Make them look like fools in open court. Show the people their real colors.

Why do you feel OpenAI doesn't have a chance to win in court given the information presented in this WaPo article? It seems fairly conclusive to me.

Copying by hiring a sound-alike/impersonator is an implementation detail. They knew full well that they were trying to copy her voice. Then they asked. And they got a no. And then they did it anyway.

I don't see how the implementation details matter at all.

It's their natural voice.

Are they not allowed to hire a person that sounds like... any famous person?

Aren't others in this thread claiming how similar voices can be and theyre not unqiue?

The VA has not been identified, but I bet that she has a showreel in which you can hear at least ten different natural voices that are not at all like SJ's performance in 'her'. A sad read for the local undertaker. A maniacal shouty ad for the monster truck rally. A motherly read for baby formula. Some fun accents. A dramatic read.
