The Sky voice sounded nothing like Scarlet Johansson.

I'm worried that in the future somebody might try to create their own voice to regain it as an accessibility tool after a medical event, and they're going to have their voice literally stolen from them under the fact that it might sound like another famous person 90% of the time.

In the music industry it's actually a known thing that if somebody famous sounds like you, you basically have no real ability to become a star or sell your music without problems. Sure it happens, but it's honestly the same problem many actors that look alike go through but just with sound.

This is pure censorship/money grab, and to make it worse, the voices sounded nothing alike.

The original voice that they pulled or the one they replaced it with under the same name after the lawyers started calling?

We cannot infer from Sam Altman's tweet whether he was referencing the movie Her because gtp-4o enables AI companions in general a la Her, or whether he was specifically referencing Johansson character in the film.

There are other AI companions as well in the film.

Obviously he was refering to Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffanys.
