Johansson was foolish to turn this down. This all sounds like she realized the mistake, regretted it, then sent her legal team to pursue this frivolous cease and desist out of spite.
I'm disappointed that OpenAI didn't see this for what it is, and decided to comply instead.
Even though it threatens their livelihoods and is parasitic off their work?
It's not disheartening at all: it's positive.

This all sounds like absurd wishful thinking.
Explain why you call a famous actress foolish if she refuses to give a corporation permission to use her voice. Your entire argument is built on this opinion.
It reads like projection of some other feelings or unstated interests.
Really? AI has lots of potential but so far the big uses of the recent title wave have been an enormous increase in the creation of visual and text-based sludge, barely usable for anything serious most of it, by hustling online marketers and social media spammers.
Even where tools like GPT are used productively by people to simplify their business processes and so forth, every piece of information they claim has to be scrutinized for hallucinations to the point of them being useless as much more than idea generators for contexts where factual correctness isn't important...
Yay!
