If they didn't use her voice at all, doesn't seem like there would be a case or even concern.

Also, they proceeded to ask her for rights just 2 days before they demoed the Sky voice. It would be pretty coincidental that they actually didn't use her voice for the training at all if they were still trying to get a sign off from her.

If they used her actual voice for training the model that shipped then I agree with you. It seems like they used the voice from another woman who sounds similar though.

It doesn't "seem like" in this instance, "no no that is not what we did we commissioned someone else" without specifying who is their claim.

From technical standpoint, a finetuned voice model can be built from just few minutes of data and GPU time on top of an existing voice model, almost like how artists LoRAs are built for images. So it is entirely within possibility that that had happened.

I guess it takes more than a couple of days to organize things with an A list star, esp. if there's a studio recording session involved rather than just using existing material.

This strongly suggests they weren't trying to get her voice until the last minute (would have been too late for the launch) but, rather, they had already used the other actress, and realized they were exposing themselves to a lawsuit due to how similar they were.

It was a CYA move, it failed, and now their ass is uncovered.

Maybe despite not using her voice at all they wanted to give her some money as a gesture of good will and/or derisk the project.

Surely the company that has been gobbling up data and information without the rights to them or any form of compensation have suddenly turned a new leaf and decided to try and pay an actress that isn't involved.

Like, lets be real here. This wouldn't be the first time they would be using material without the right to them and I don't expect this to change any time soon without a major overhaul of EVERYTHING IN THE COMPANY and even then it will probably only happen after lawsuits and fines.

I would like to buy you a horse as a gesture of goodwill to derisk this flight attendant / passenger situation.
