> We believe that AI voices should not deliberately mimic a celebrity's distinctive voice—Sky’s voice is not an imitation of Scarlett Johansson but belongs to a different professional actress using her own natural speaking voice. To protect their privacy, we cannot share the names of our voice talents.

I love how they have to go out of their way to explain that, rather than train a model on Scarlett Johansson's voice, they came about her voice honestly, by just finding someone who's natural voice sounded the most like Scarlett Johansson... as, clearly, no one is questioning that this voice was chosen to mimic Scarlett Johansson.

Some are questioning why they chose not to mimic Stephen Fry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7E-aoXLZGY or Attenborough.

Pretty sure that’s another joking reference to the movie Her rather than actual concern about similarity. If that was the case pointing it out would attract lawsuits

I mean... do you not think Sky sounds like Scarlett Johansson? I specifically use(d) that voice in no small part because of the to-me-pretty-obvious similarity.

(Note that if you select that voice today, you might not actually be using it anymore. I noticed earlier today I was shunted off to Juniper, which I didn't like as much.)
